UITableViewCell minimum height with automatically resizing cells

Question

I am using automatically resizing cells in my project. I want to keep the cells at a minimum height, but I cannot set a minimum height constraint for my cells in my Content View (as it is greyed out in the Add New Constraints view:

Is there anyway to add minimum height constraints for my cells?

Answer 1

I added this constraint to my cell but in code (swift)

contentView.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 80).isActive = true

If your cell view needs more space:

contentView.heightAnchor.constraint(greaterThanOrEqualToConstant: 80).isActive = true

Answer 2

When UITableViewAutomaticDimension is enabled the system calls UITableViewCell's systemLayoutSizeFittingSize:withHorizontalFittingPriority:verticalFittingPriority: method to calculate the cell height, so you can subclass UITableViewCell and override this method to force a minimum height for the cell, in this way

class MinHeightTableViewCell: UITableViewCell {

    var minHeight: CGFloat?

    override func systemLayoutSizeFitting(_ targetSize: CGSize, withHorizontalFittingPriority horizontalFittingPriority: UILayoutPriority, verticalFittingPriority: UILayoutPriority) -> CGSize {
        let size = super.systemLayoutSizeFitting(targetSize, withHorizontalFittingPriority: horizontalFittingPriority, verticalFittingPriority: verticalFittingPriority)
        guard let minHeight = minHeight else { return size }
        return CGSize(width: size.width, height: max(size.height, minHeight))
    }
}

And then

public func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
    let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "minHeightCell", for: indexPath) as! MinHeightTableViewCell
    cell.minHeight = 62 // change with your desidered min height
    cell.textLabel?.text = "some text"
    return cell
}

set a height constraint as height >= 60.0 No need to do anything
