Hi smileyborg, this saves a TON of time... Can't thank you enough.

Can you help me with a problem I'm having? I am running into autoLayout problems when trying to add an additional object to the sample code on iOS8. It's probably me doing something wrong.. But I just can't see it.

Creating a UIView under the bottom UILabel and giving the autoLayout constraints below will display correctly, but with lots of autoLayout warnings followed by an attempt to break constraint...

Can you help me figure out what am I doing wrong?

var square: UIView = UIView.newAutoLayoutView()

square.backgroundColor = UIColor.blackColor()
contentView.addSubview(square)

square.autoPinEdge(.Top, toEdge: .Bottom, ofView: bodyLabel, withOffset: 10.0)
square.autoPinEdgeToSuperviewEdge(.Leading, withInset: kLabelHorizontalInsets)
square.autoPinEdgeToSuperviewEdge(.Trailing, withInset: kLabelHorizontalInsets)
square.autoPinEdgeToSuperviewEdge(.Bottom, withInset: kLabelVerticalInsets)
square.autoSetDimension(ALDimension.Height, toSize: 40)

How to recreate:

1. Scroll down to the bottom
2. Add a couple of rows by pressing the + button
3. Scroll up - the table view will start jumping

I have such issue in my own project. I have an infinite feed where I load data dynamically whenever the user scrolls to the bottom. However, when I want to scroll up it jumps and gives you a bad user experience.

Did you guys figured out this issue?

I am working on iOS app in which i have very large data to be loaded in UITableView .After reloading the UITableView with section it only loading limited number of rows and section
I have to scroll to particular contentOffset of UITableView .Set content offset only supported by very limited number of cell.

Hello, I've just cloned the project and tried to compile swift version without any modifications, but I've run into following issue:

Xcode Version 6.4 (6E35b), iOS SDK 8.4

Do you compile project without any problems? Thanks
Filip

Even in Xcode 6.1 I cannot set the UILayoutPriority programmatically in Swift(perhaps it's me). I noticed that you filed a radar on this. Any updates on the status?

        // FIXME 7-Jun-14 Xcode 6b1: Apple Bug Report rdar://17220525: The UILayoutPriority enum is not compatible with Swift yet!

I've been having a hard time figuring out the self-sizing cells for the past two days. I think I've re-read your answer here on SO 20 times; I want to say I understand how this works, but I can't get this to work for the life of me.

I finally got fed up, wiped out all of my work, copy-pasted the UITableViewCell & UITableViewController subclasses from this project into mine and get the following:

Here's my cell and controller (basically copy-paste besides the label text):

And my storyboard attributes so you know no funny-business is going on there:

I downloaded, opened, and ran, but I get an error. Little help? Thanks.

Hi,

I tried your example and its working fine if we have only two or three labels in our cell, if we try to add more labels to the cell , we are getting the below error in xcode 6

Hello mate. I have been using your solution to create auto-layout UITableViews and UITableViewCell basically since you released it for iOS 7, it is great

Back then I made a few modifications to allow different constraints to be placed for portrait and landscape orientations, basically it was done by adding an observer for orientation changes to the table view cell that calls "setNeedsUpdateConstraints" and at the "updateConstraints" method I remove and add the constraints needed to change the layout on the cells.

It was working ok on iOS 7 but now on iOS 8 it doesn't seem to work correctly, I already updated it to use UITableViewAutomaticDimension with no luck. Do you have any ideas why this could be happening?

First of all, thank you so much for this example app, it helped me a lot when moving to pure auto layout auto sizing table view cells. I've noticed a strange problem in my app and had the same problem with this example app too.

Let's say I want the table to start off scrolled all the way to the bottom, the user then has to scroll up to see previous items (like the Messages app, or any chap page). So in viewWillAppear: I'd call something like this:

NSUInteger index = [self.tableView numberOfRowsInSection:0] - 1;
NSIndexPath *indexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForItem:index inSection:0];
[self.tableView scrollToRowAtIndexPath:indexPath atScrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionBottom animated:NO];

What you'll notice is that the table is scrolled to somewhere in the middle instead of the bottom, and when you scroll up, the previous cells pop into place while causing the entire table to jump. It's very very ugly.

I've also asked about the problem on stackoverflow but no answers yet. Maybe you have any ideas on how to solve this?

When using your demo as is with current Xcode 7.3 and e.g. iOS Simulator iPad Air 2 on iOS 8.1 (12B411), the margins are wrong compared to the separator insets:

After trying this I used the nib instead and made the following adjustments (as you had hardcoded +/- 15 points as margins), which should work:

CellIdentifier: Preserve Superview margins checked
Content View: Preserve Superview margins checked
Leading/Trailing Constraints: Each leading/trailing set to constant 0, but pinned to superview's margin instead of superview

Expected:
Margins automatically adjusted

Actual:

I am trying this for about a week (!), do you know of any official way to get the margins right with iOS 8.1 and 8.2? Btw: Margins are broken when used in Form Sheets with iPhone 6+ in Landscape with iOS 9.x, too (they differ from the separator insets as well).

Any idea?

Hello,

The project has major performance issue with non-English UTF8 strings. For reproduce the problem, just change the sample data test in "modal.swift" line 39 as follows:

let loremIpsum = "این یک متن تست است. تستی برای تست کردن یک تست..این یک متن تست است. تستی برای تست کردن یک تست.این یک متن تست است. تستی برای تست کردن یک تست.این یک متن تست است. تستی برای تست کردن یک تست.این یک متن تست است. تستی برای تست کردن یک تست.این یک متن تست است. تستی برای تست کردن یک تست.این یک متن تست است. تستی برای تست کردن یک تست.این یک متن تست است. تستی برای تست کردن یک تست.این یک متن تست است. تستی برای تست کردن یک تست.این یک متن تست است. تستی برای تست کردن یک تست.این یک متن تست است. تستی برای تست کردن یک تست.این یک متن تست است. تستی برای تست کردن یک تست.این یک متن تست است. تستی برای تست کردن یک تست.این یک متن تست است. تستی برای تست کردن یک تست."

How could we resolve this?

If you...

1. Swipe the tableview to scroll it fast (or slow).
2. Hit the '+' button while it's scrolling

... the tableview jumps up before it continues scrolling from a random location. This doesn't happen if the tableview is not scrolling (i.e. it's stationary) when you add cells. I'm assuming this is another UITableView auto-sizing bug that has something to do with scrollView frame and offset calculations when the table view is being scrolled.

Anyone have any ideas for a workaround? I wanted to check before I try to get too clever.

To reproduce this, first add a TabbarController in RJAppDelegate.m

UIViewController *dummyVC = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
[dummyVC.view setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]];

self.tabbarController = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];
self.tabbarController.viewControllers = @[self.navigationController,dummyVC];

self.window.rootViewController = self.tabbarController;

Run the code, scroll to the end. Switch to tab 2, and switch back.
You will see now the scroll position is not at the end of the tableview.

Hi,

I'm faced with this strange issue. I have a prototype UITableViewCell with two UILabels with both of their no. of lines set to 0 and all the necessary constraints are added .

Here are the Content hugging and content compression resistance priorities.

• Top label

• Bottom label

And here is the code.

import UIKit

class TableViewController: UITableViewController {

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        configureTableView()
    }

    private func configureTableView() {
        tableView.rowHeight = UITableViewAutomaticDimension
        tableView.estimatedRowHeight = 90
    }

    private func eventCellAtIndexPath(indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> EventCell {
        let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("EventCell") as EventCell
        cell.nameLabel.text = "(Monrovia) Brennan, Cathleen Andresson Carlsson"
        cell.addressLabel.text = "176 N, Sunset Pl, Monrovia, CA, United States 91016"

        return cell
    }

    // MARK: - Table view data source
    override func numberOfSectionsInTableView(tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
        return 10
    }

    override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
        return 1
    }

    override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
        return eventCellAtIndexPath(indexPath)
    }
}

Even though their is no auto layout issue, when I run the app this is how the content is displayed.

As you can see the first label is getting cropped!

I faced this same issue a few months back and your answer helped me to resolve it. But doing the same here doesn't seem to work.

private func eventCellAtIndexPath(indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> EventCell {
    let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("EventCell") as EventCell
    cell.nameLabel.text = "(Monrovia) Brennan, Cathleen Andresson Carlsson"
    cell.addressLabel.text = "176 N, Sunset Pl, Monrovia, CA, United States 91016"

    cell.nameLabel.preferredMaxLayoutWidth = CGRectGetWidth(cell.nameLabel.frame)
    cell.addressLabel.preferredMaxLayoutWidth = CGRectGetWidth(cell.addressLabel.frame)
    return cell
}

Why do you think this is happening?

I uploaded a demo project to my Dropbox.

There is an error in code:
TableViewCell.swift:

required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder)
{
     super.init(coder: aDecoder)   
     setupViews()
}

TableViewCell.swift:30:14: Failable initializer 'init(coder:)' cannot override a non-failable initializer

First let me start off by saying thank you for creating this project (and the PureLayout library for that matter).

For the past couple of days I've been trying to tackle this issue I posted on stackoverflow (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30309150/custom-tableviewcell-with-subview-whose-height-changes)

I started using your TableViewCell project to try and integrate what I'm doing into your code and see if it would work, but alas I'm stilling coming up empty.

In your existing project, I'm trying to add a UIView as a subview of the custom TableViewCell class you created, and I have events that are called on the UIView which would cause it to resize in height (mainly increase). However, I've had no luck with this so far for the past couple of days.

Any help or just pointing me in the proper direction would be greatly appreciated at this point. Here are the changes I made to your code to try and get the subview to work:

And here's the app crashing error xCode is giving me:
2015-05-19 15:49:15.778 TableViewCellWithAutoLayout[23816:12789074] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSGenericException', reason: 'Unable to activate constraint with items <UIView: 0x7fc0fb5668e0; frame = (0 0; 375 667); layer = <CALayer: 0x7fc0fb53a310>> and <UILabel: 0x7fc0fb55db70; frame = (0 0; 0 0); text = 'Marion'; userInteractionEnabled = NO; layer = <_UILabelLayer: 0x7fc0fb55df20>> because they have no common ancestor. Does the constraint reference items in different view hierarchies? That's illegal.'

Has anyone found a solution to the issue (present in the sample project) where if you scroll a bit, rotate the device, then scroll back up the cells are very jumpy and the scrolling seems off?

I have a problem. I create a TableViewController with dynamic height on the cells. I follow this answer

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18746929/using-auto-layout-in-uitableview-for-dynamic-cell-layouts-variable-row-heights/18746930#18746930

My problem its that (I copy the exact constraints) when I load information, like 2-3 lines it only appear the first or second line and the other line I need to scroll until the cell its outside the screen and bring it inside again and it comes with the other line. I hop eI explain my self.

I have my code, mostly the same as that post

var cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("CellP", forIndexPath: indexPath) as CellPTableViewCell

        if (indexPath.row+1)%2 == 0 {
            cell.contentView.backgroundColor = UIColor(red: 244/255, green: 244/255, blue: 244/255, alpha: 1.0)
        }

        cell.label1.text = "\(userName) \(userLast)"
        cell.label1.text = userText

        cell.setNeedsUpdateConstraints()
        cell.updateConstraintsIfNeeded()
        return cell

Any ideas? the constraints are exactly the same as the post, I just modify the font (I try with the font he propose and its the same error)

Edit: I try it on iPhone 6 (Physically). and iPhone 4S (Simulator)

Best,

I could not find a license.
Is it possible to write a license?

Hi
Could you possibly add a storyboard/nib example, because I can not get even the simplest example to work without getting exceptions thrown.

When I set the vertical insets to some higher value the contraints of the UITableViewCell break.
Not shure what is causing it.
It seems to be the size of cells content view. But leveraging that size upwards does't lead to a solution.

2016-04-11 14:52:45.832 TableViewCellWithAutoLayout[451:79339] Unable to simultaneously satisfy constraints.
    Probably at least one of the constraints in the following list is one you don't want. 
    Try this: 
        (1) look at each constraint and try to figure out which you don't expect; 
        (2) find the code that added the unwanted constraint or constraints and fix it. 
(
    "<NSLayoutConstraint:0x17e97900 V:|-(16)-[UILabel:0x17e96600'Thonburi']   (Names: '|':UITableViewCellContentView:0x17d99fc0 )>",
    "<NSLayoutConstraint:0x17da1a80 V:[UILabel:0x17e96600'Thonburi']-(16)-[UILabel:0x17d9b1c0'Lorem ipsum dolor sit ame...']>",
    "<NSLayoutConstraint:0x17da2bc0 UILabel:0x17d9b1c0'Lorem ipsum dolor sit ame...'.bottom == UITableViewCellContentView:0x17d99fc0.bottom - 16>",
    "<NSLayoutConstraint:0x17e96fa0 'UIView-Encapsulated-Layout-Height' V:[UITableViewCellContentView:0x17d99fc0(44)]>"
)

Will attempt to recover by breaking constraint 
<NSLayoutConstraint:0x17da1a80 V:[UILabel:0x17e96600'Thonburi']-(16)-[UILabel:0x17d9b1c0'Lorem ipsum dolor sit ame...']>

I've seen this on a few projects and am starting to believe this is an iOS bug. However, if you scroll to the bottom, add a new item, and start scrolling upwards you'll notice that the scroll jumps all over the place.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Scroll to the bottom
2. Hit the "+" for a new item
3. Gently scroll to the top

Hi,
I'm working with UITableview for chat application it's working very well in update and insert cell but when scroll the tableview bottom to top tableview cell jerking and no smoothly scrolling.
*Note-> I'm not using storyboard and i've used to custom cells (Objective c)
So Please any solution.

I was able to use the PureLayout just fine. But i was hoping if I added a UIWebView as followed:

    [self.webview autoPinEdge: ALEdgeTop toEdge: ALEdgeBottom ofView: self.labelTitle withOffset: 10.0 relation: NSLayoutRelationGreaterThanOrEqual];

    [self.webview autoPinEdgeToSuperviewEdge: ALEdgeLeading withInset: kLabelHorizontalInsets];
    [self.webview autoPinEdgeToSuperviewEdge: ALEdgeTrailing withInset: kLabelHorizontalInsets];
    [self.webview autoPinEdgeToSuperviewEdge: ALEdgeBottom withInset: kLabelVerticalInsets];

Sadly the frame of the web view was always zero.

I've turned bodyLabel's class UILabel into UIButton(As you can see in pic1 ~ pic3). As you know, UIButton also has its intrinsic content size (just like UILabel). I just want to have the cell's subviews "exert pressure" and make the content view expand to fit them. But the cell height became same and, of course, went wrong(As you can see in pic4 and pic5). Can anybody tell me why and what should I do to solve this problem?

Hi,

I'm kinda stomped by this issue. Its going to be a little lengthy but please bear with me.

This issue came across in an iOS 8 app I'm creating. I've set all the constraints so I'm not getting any auto layout errors or warnings. But when I run it, it looks like this.

The blue and the black labels are supposed to resize themselves to fit their content thus making the cell's height dynamic. I've set the number of lines of both of those labels to 0 as well.

Here's a weird thing that happens. If I rotate the device to landscape and back to portrait, I get this.

Now the black label has resized itself to fit all its text but it overflows the cells boundaries. I have set these two lines of code in the viewDidLoad() method.

tableView.estimatedRowHeight = 100
tableView.rowHeight = UITableViewAutomaticDimension

I've uploaded a test Xcode project to Dropbox demonstrating this issue so it'll be easier for you to give it a look. Can you please help me out to resolve this?

Thank you.

EDIT: After I ran into this issue, I came across this tutorial. Although it's on iOS 7, I picked up a few pointers regarding auto layout. So I created a separate project to test them out.

Basically what I did was moved the 3 labels closer to each other so that their vertical spaces would be 0 (I did this because that's how it was done in this tutorial's example project but I noticed in your project, you could have different vertical space values). And added other constraints to the sides. No auto layout errors or warnings again.

When I run it the first time, the black label cropping issue is still there.

But I turn it to landscape and back again to portrait and..

all the all the cells are resized properly to fit both labels! Still can't figure out why this doesn't happen in the first run though. I uploaded a separate project to here (This project has 2 cells. One with 3 labels and one with 2 labels. I was just experimenting. The same issue came up in both of these scenarios).

My actual issue is the first one. I just added the second part to show a different approach I took.

If you could take a look. I'd really appreciate it. This issue has me stomped.

Thank you.

Hello,

When I use this

[m_tableView beginUpdates];
[m_tableView deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:[NSArray arrayWithObject:m_indexPath] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];
[m_tableView endUpdates];

and

[m_tableView beginUpdates];
[m_tableView reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:[NSArray arrayWithObject:m_indexPath] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];
[m_tableView endUpdates];

tableView jumps, it happens because of this

m_tableView.estimatedRowHeight = 97.0;
m_tableView.rowHeight = UITableViewAutomaticDimension;

But then if we remove this, then we will not variable height.

So guys please help me out..

Bug: Body content doesn't adjust size correctly

Expected: Body content height adjusts to remove vertical padding

Setting

in cellForRowAtIndexPath causes cells to be created with lots of padding between the two labels.

Hi,

I came across this project, and was trying to do something similar, but have run into an issue. I'm still learning Autolayout, so wondering if you'd have the time to help me out with this.

My aim is to create UITableViewCell with a UIImageView that is pinned to the top, left and right of the cell, and has a fixed height, and a variable height UILabel that is pinned to the bottom of the image view, left, right and bottom of the cell. (all with some insets)

So, I created a UITableViewCell subclass that looks like the following

#import "SJTableViewCell.h"
#import "PureLayout.h"

#define kLabelHorizontalInsets      15.0f
#define kLabelVerticalInsets        10.0f

@interface SJTableViewCell ()

@property (nonatomic, assign) BOOL didSetupConstraints;

@end

@implementation SJTableViewCell

- (id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewCellStyle)style reuseIdentifier:(NSString *)reuseIdentifier
{
    self = [super initWithStyle:style reuseIdentifier:reuseIdentifier];
    if (self)
    {
        self.imgMain = [UIImageView newAutoLayoutView];
        self.imgMain.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFill;
        self.imgMain.clipsToBounds = YES;

        self.lblText = [UILabel newAutoLayoutView];
        [self.lblText setLineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByTruncatingTail];
        [self.lblText setNumberOfLines:0];
        [self.lblText setTextAlignment:NSTextAlignmentLeft];
        self.lblText.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

        self.contentView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

        [self.contentView addSubview:self.lblText];
        [self.contentView addSubview:self.imgMain];
    }

    return self;
}

- (void)updateConstraints
{
    if (!self.didSetupConstraints)
    {
        [UIView autoSetPriority:UILayoutPriorityRequired forConstraints:^{
            [self.imgMain autoSetContentCompressionResistancePriorityForAxis:ALAxisVertical];
        }];

But, when I run the project on the device, I see the following log

Unable to simultaneously satisfy constraints.
    Probably at least one of the constraints in the following list is one you don't want. Try this: (1) look at each constraint and try to figure out which you don't expect; (2) find the code that added the unwanted constraint or constraints and fix it. (Note: If you're seeing NSAutoresizingMaskLayoutConstraints that you don't understand, refer to the documentation for the UIView property translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints) 
(
    "<NSLayoutConstraint:0x18956620 'UIView-Encapsulated-Layout-Height' V:[UITableViewCellContentView:0x176d3f20(44)]>",
    "<NSLayoutConstraint:0x18b6b600 V:[UIImageView:0x18fcbee0(200)]>",
    "<NSLayoutConstraint:0x18b6eda0 V:|-(10)-[UIImageView:0x18fcbee0]   (Names: '|':UITableViewCellContentView:0x176d3f20 )>",
    "<NSLayoutConstraint:0x189f1010 V:[UIImageView:0x18fcbee0]-(10)-[UILabel:0x18de9d70'\Ufffc  Xbox, Windows Store no...']>",
    "<NSLayoutConstraint:0x18b7bc30 UILabel:0x18de9d70'\Test Test Test Test Test Tes...'.bottom == UITableViewCellContentView:0x176d3f20.bottom - 10>"
)

Will attempt to recover by breaking constraint 
<NSLayoutConstraint:0x18b6b600 V:[UIImageView:0x18fcbee0(200)]>

Make a symbolic breakpoint at UIViewAlertForUnsatisfiableConstraints to catch this in the debugger.
The methods in the UIConstraintBasedLayoutDebugging category on UIView listed in <UIKit/UIView.h> may also be helpful.

Removing this line

[self.imgMain autoSetDimension:ALDimensionHeight toSize:200.0f relation:NSLayoutRelationEqual];

does make the log go away, but it also makes my image view variable height. I'm not sure how I would go about sorting this. Hope you can help me out.

I downloaded the zip, open in freshly updated xcode 6.2 and get this error:

/path-to/TableViewCellWithAutoLayoutiOS8-master/TableViewCellWithAutoLayout/TableViewController/TableViewController.swift: 10: 7: fatal error: use of unimplemented initializer 'init(nibName:bundle:)' for class 'TableViewCellWithAutoLayout.TableViewController'
(lldb)

How is it possible to support expand/collapse the multiline label? E.g. The multiline label should show only three lines. If I tap the cell should expand revealing all the content of the multiline label.
Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Lorenzo
