Custom View with dynamic Height as UITableView Header ios xcode

Question

In my project,i have a 1.MovieplayerView,2.a label with dynamic content,3.a tableView with variable number of rows.

I was doing this with all these views in scrollView.But i always have the issue with dynamic height of the label.it sometime overlaps the tableView.

I came to know that we can use customView as the tableView header.How this can be done with variable content Height and autolayout?I am new to iOS.Any suggestion ??

I know how to add a view as the header to a table.But when the contents in the view changes,it overlaps the contents of the tableView.

I went through How to resize superview to fit all subviews with autolayout?,How do I set the height of tableHeaderView (UITableView) with autolayout?

Can some one give a simple example on how to do this?Or tell me if it is better to use a scrollview and add all these views as its subviews? any suggestion would be realy helpful.Thanks.

In viewDidAppear,
1. Get the height of the dynamic content, then set the height of your tableHeaderView accordingly. 2. Set the headerView again so the table view can refresh: self.tableView.tableHeaderView = headerView
