Self sizing specific UITableView Cell

Question

I know how to make UITableViewCells self size in UITableView. The question is how to only a specific cell self size itself. I have four different custom UITableView Cells in my table and I want to make only one cell self size itself.

Answer 1

You have to know which rows that you want to implement the UITableViewAutomaticDimension for because when because when heightForRowAt is called, no cells are created yet so you can´t check the cell type ye that´s why you need to check the indexPath.row instead.

Something like this for example:

switch indexPath.row {
case 0:
    return 100
case 1,2,3:
    return UITableViewAutomaticDimension
default:
    return 100
}

Answer 2

You can check which cell you need to return dinamicHeigth and in func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, heightForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGFloat return UITableViewAutomaticDimension according

Example code using row 0 as condition

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, heightForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGFloat {

        if(indexPath.row == 0)
        {
            return UITableViewAutomaticDimension
        }

        return 88
    }
