Change tableView.rowHeight according to length of cell.textLabel.text

Question

Is it possible to have different cells to be different heights? In my tableView, I want to have cells adjust to how long the text within them is. So a cell with not much text will be the default height, but a cell with a lot of text in it will be wider so that it can show all the text in it. Is this possible?

Yes you can I'm doing something very similar in one of my own apps using the following, hope this helps

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath  *)indexPath{
    NSString *message = [log objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
    CGSize size = [message sizeWithFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:12] constrainedToSize:CGSizeMake(320.0f, 480.0f) lineBreakMode:UILineBreakModeWordWrap];
    return size.height + 15;
}
