Make UITableView not scrollable and adjust height to accommodate all cells

Question

I'm embedding a UITableView inside of another UIScrollView. I only want the UIScrollView to scroll, not the UITableView, so I want to disable the scrolling in UITableView, as well as expand the contentHeight for the UITableView to accommodate all dynamic at once.

How would I go about doing this?

Answer 1

Set tableView scrolling property to false.

First Approach:

1. Create a subclass for tableView and override intrinsicContentSize.

        class MyOwnTableView: UITableView {     override var intrinsicContentSize: CGSize {         self.layoutIfNeeded()         return self.contentSize     }      override var contentSize: CGSize {         didSet{             self.invalidateIntrinsicContentSize()         }     }      override func reloadData() {         super.reloadData()         self.invalidateIntrinsicContentSize()     } } 

2. In Interface builder change the class of your tableView to MyOwnTableView (subclass UITableView).

3. Set automatic row height for the table view.

       tableView.estimatedRowHeight = 60.0;     tableView.rowHeight = UITableViewAutomaticDimension; 

Second Approach: 1. Create a height constraint with any value for tableView and connect an IBOutlet that sets the tableView height.

2. Set the height constraint's constant to tableView.contentSize.height after reloading the data.

   self.tableViewHeight.constant = self.tableView.contentSize.height
