Can't change UITableViewCell contentView height

Question

I have a custom uitableviewcell.

i want to change its height based on some if condition. How can i be able to do this ?

I tried doing this in cellForRowAtIndexPath -

if (cell.newsFeedImage.image == NULL)
{
    NSLog(@"NULL");
    cell.uDisplayImage.frame = CGRectMake(20, 20, 20, 20);
}

The log message appears, but the frame never changes.

Please help.

The height of the cell is set in the tableView datasource method

heightForRowAtIndexPath

I know that, but i also want to reduce the height of content view inside uitableviecell – Ashish Gogna Sep 29 '14 at 10:58
This method is part of the delegate protocol. You don't use it to set the height, you return the height from it. – Albin Stigo Sep 29 '14 at 10:58

It's a little more complicated than that.

This questions has been answered at great length here: Using Auto Layout in UITableView for dynamic cell layouts & variable row heights
