It is like "1|123|JP Morgan|111|2000.0|Pending", similarly there are strings which i diplay in each row of the table. but as you can see the string is very long, to display it in a single table row. in the table view, i can just view first 3 ie "1|123|JP Morgan" the it shows.....

how can i display the entire string in the table

Answer 1

You can add a UILabel to your cell's contentView. If you do this, you can set the UILabel.numberOfLines to a number greater than 1. If you set it to 0, it will use as many lines as needed.

Answer 2

Your options are to make it smaller or make a custom table cell. To change the size, set the property cell.textLabel.font to a font of a smaller size (e.g. using [UIFont systemFontOfSize:10]. You may also want to change cell.textLabel.numberOfLines to something greater than 1.
