Resize UITableViewCell to show image at maximum size

Question

I want to show some images and text in a UITableView.

But when I add the image to its UITableViewCell it breaks the layout and overlaps with the next Header.

How can I set the size of the cell containing the image, so that the layout doesn't get broken?

I found some ObjC-Code which suggest this can be done by using heightForRowAtIndexPath, but I couldn't find anything MonoTouch specific.

Answer 1

Check out this blog post. It is dynamically resizing table cells for text but you can apply this for your images.

Answer 2

If all of your cells are the same height, set the rowHeight property of your UITableView. Otherwise, use the UITableViewDelegate method:

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath

That's what you do in CocoaTouch/Obj-C. How you convert from native Obj-C into something that will work in MonoTouch, I have no idea. Good luck with that. :-)
