Changing bounds of imageView of UITableViewCell

Question

I'm trying to place various size images inside imageView of UITableViewCell. I get the image data asynch'ly, create the image, set the content mode of imageView and finally set bounds of imageView. But the code seems insensitive to any changes I made. I want the images to be centered in a 75x75 area. I wrote the below code for this purpose

UIImage* image = [UIImage imageWithData:data];
[holder.imageView setContentMode:UIViewContentModeCenter || UIViewContentModeRedraw];
[holder.imageView setImage:image];
[holder.imageView setBounds:CGRectMake(0,0,75,75)];
[holder.imageView setFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,75,75)];
[holder setNeedsLayout]; 

Where holder is the UITableViewCell. The result I get is always the same. All images have 75px height and different widths. Can someone help me solve this problem?

I have realized that setting contentMode and bounds properties does not have any effect in that code. I have added an NSLog after the last line and got the results as below:

NSLog(@"imageview:%@ bounds and contentMode:%@ %@",[holder imageView],[holder.imageView bounds],[holder.imageView contentMode]);

imageview:<UIImageView: 0x39ab8a0; frame = (0 0; 75 75); opaque = NO; userInteractionEnabled = NO; layer = <CALayer: 0x39a92b0>> bounds and contentMode:(null) (null)

Still no solution

Done, I finally found the solution, it cost me 3 hours though =)

The solution is to change properties like bound,frame,contentMode in -(void)layoutSubviews method of the custom UITableViewCell class. The "trick" is to write layout code in this method, otherwise the code does not have any effect.

Below code did the work for me. It makes rows of the table vertically aligned.

- (void)layoutSubviews {
    [super layoutSubviews];
    self.imageView.bounds = CGRectMake(0,0,75,75);
    self.imageView.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,75,75);
    self.imageView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit;

    CGRect tmpFrame = self.textLabel.frame;
    tmpFrame.origin.x = 77;
    self.textLabel.frame = tmpFrame;

    tmpFrame = self.detailTextLabel.frame;
    tmpFrame.origin.x = 77;
    self.detailTextLabel.frame = tmpFrame;

}
