Custom TableViewCell height being ignored

Question

I previously used the following code for changing the size of my cells which use a custom tableviewcell

-(CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    return 61;
}

However I've created a new one on a different view and the above code is never being called.

The TableViewCell is actually a control on a more generic view however all the other similar methods CellForRow etc are

Answer 1

Make sure you've set your class as the delegate for the table view, in addition to the dataSource. They are two separate protocols, and this is easy to overlook.

Answer 2

Seems I needed this as well

- (UITableViewCell *) getCellContentView:(NSString *)cellIdentifier {

    CGRect CellFrame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 300, 60);

    UITableViewCell *cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithFrame:CellFrame reuseIdentifier:cellIdentifier] autorelease];

    return cell;
}

Answer 3

Also, you can accomplish the same thing (I think) in IB by tweaking the values on the UITableView (not the UITableViewCell).

Answer 4

heightForRowAtIndexPath is only a UITableView delegate method, not a UITableViewCell method.

So you'd have that code in your delegate class, not in the table cell code.
