For dynamic height of UITableViewCell you have to do below things

  • Fulfill all constraint requirement in UITableViewCell

  • Tell your TableView to dynamically layout Height of every Cell with below code

    - (void)viewDidLoad {
     [super viewDidLoad];

     // two magic lines
     tableView.estimatedRowHeight = 89
     tableView.rowHeight = UITableView.automaticDimension
}

With just two lines of code, you instruct the table view to calculate the cell’s size matching its content and render it dynamically. This self sizing cell feature should save you tons of code and time. You’re gonna love it.

In your heightForRowAtIndexPath, calculate the dynamic height based on the related cell data.

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
 { 
     NSDictionary *data = [self.dataSource objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
     return [MyTableViewCell heightForData:data];
 }

Then in your MyTabLeViewCell, write a function as below, let us say the data has the "content" which is the fact for dynamic height. And your tableViewCell defined a UILabel called contentLabel with CONTENT_LABEL_WIDTH

+(CGFloat) heightForData : (NSDictionary *)data{

    self.contentLabel.text = [data objectForKey:@"content"];
    CGSize contentLabelSize = [self.contentLabel sizeThatFits:CGSizeMake(CONTENT_LABEL_WIDTH, CGFLOAT_MAX)];

    return contentLabelSize.height;

    //If you want to have a minimum cell height no matter how small your content is, you can use below fmaxf with a pre-defined CELL_MIN_HEIGHT value.
    // return fmaxf(CELL_MIN_HEIGHT, height);
}

You can use this method for increase UITableViewCell height dynamically (No AutoLayout)

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
    NSMutableAttributedString *strName = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",strItemName]];

    [strName addAttribute:NSFontAttributeName value:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:16] range:NSMakeRange(0, strItemName.length)];
    CGSize sizeItemName = CGRectIntegral([strName boundingRectWithSize:CGSizeMake(130, MAXFLOAT) options:NSStringDrawingUsesLineFragmentOrigin context:nil]).size;
    int padding = 5;
    //your default cell height for ex 55 
    if (sizeItemName.height < 55)
    {
        sizeItemName.height = 55;
    }
    return sizeItemName.height + padding;
}
