Seems impossible: to animate the height change of row in UITableView

Question

This seems like an impossible task after studying the docs from Apple. Is it possible to animate the height change of a table row? As far as I can tell, you can only animate inserts and deletes.

You can also animate things inside a table view cell (the layout etC) but you can't really animate the height of a cell (and expect the rest of the rows to animate accordingly as well). So for example, suppose row 3 just got twice as hight. I expect row 4, 5, 6 to shift down. Any ideas?

Answer 1

What about calling the methods that replace one cell with another in specific rows - if the new cell has greater height the process should be animated. You can make a new instance of the same cell to replace the shorter one...
