Set Height Programmatically for a Single UITableViewCell?

Question

I need to set the height for a single UITableViewCell in my UITableView programmatically. How can I do this?

I need this one cell to be 150 pixels high and all the others can stay at their default 44 pixels in height.

Thanks.

Answer 1

There is a delegate function for the UITableViewCell height.

Here you specify the indexPath of that particular cell and return your height for it

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    if(indexPath.section == yourSection && indexPath.row == yourRow) {
        return 150.0;
    }
    // "Else"
    return someDefaultHeight;
}

You will have to know, or figure out what cell index you want to make the taller one. Lets say its your first cell.

-(CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

    if (indexPath.row == 0) { //change 0 to whatever cell index you want taller
        return 150;
    }
    else {
        return 44;
    }   
}
