UITableViewAutomaticDimension not working with custom XIB cell

Question

So I created a custom cell with a XIB file and added the constraints: Image. However, the UITextView is not automatically adjusting its height depending on the amount of text inside it.

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

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, estimatedHeightForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGFloat {
    return 300
}

show us the cell and the image constrains – Mohamed Helmy Jun 24 '17 at 13:05 — Mohamed Helmy, Jun 24 '17 at 13:05

You have too many vertical constraints such that it fixes the size of your textView. You should remove one of the top constraints, or just use a stackview as the only child of the content view and give the stack leading trailing, top bottom from the content view (in this case you don't need any other constraints).

Follow these steps :

Give constraints to ImageView - Leading, Trailing,Top with contentview and Height Constraint(if you want fix height else) give bottom with textview.
Give constraints to TextView - Leading, Trailing, bottom with contentView .
Disable scroll of textView .
Add Following line in ViewDidLoad.

tableView.rowHeight = UITableViewAutomaticDimension

tableView.estimatedRowHeight = 44

Bottom with what other element? – user8209045 Jun 25 '17 at 09:58
it is cell's contentview. – KKRocks Jun 25 '17 at 11:14
or i think your have set constraints correctly . see this. https://stackoverflow.com/a/20134897/3901620 – KKRocks Jun 25 '17 at 11:18
It still breaks the UIImageView's height constraint and cuts off text. – user8209045 Jun 25 '17 at 12:58
