Vertical align UITextlabel in UITableViewCell

Question

I'm having issues with the vertical alignment in a UITableViewCell.

I'm using a right detail UITableViewCell in which the detailTextLabel contains multiple lines of text. By setting the number of lines to zero I've managed to get the detailTextLabel to show all the text. This causes however the (left) text label to align in the top left corner instead of the center of the UITableViewCell.

Is there a way to use a TableViewCell in which the detailTextLabel contains multiple lines (In this case 2), and having the primary text label vertically centered?

You should create your own prototype cell if your use case is different — Simon McLoughlin, May 06 '15 at 13:19
Did you try setting the vertical align of the label? cell.textLabel.contentVerticalAlignment = UIControlContentVerticalAlignmentCenter — Dejan Skledar, May 06 '15 at 13:24
@DejanSkledar I don't believe that `contentVerticalAlignment` is a property of a UITextLabel? — Berendschot, May 06 '15 at 13:32
I should work with just changing the height of the textLabel. — Dejan Skledar, May 06 '15 at 13:35

You should use UIControlContentVerticalAlignmentCenter and make equal height of the two labels.

But I would prefer to create your own custom cell.

`UIControlContentVerticalAlignmentCenter` is a property of a `UITextField`, not a `UILabel` – Berendschot May 06 '15 at 13:54
