UITableViewCell automatic dimension is not working well

Question

we are displaying some data in custom tableview cells but if some labels are empty we are hiding the labels and using uitableview.automaticdimension in estimated row height but not working well.Thanks in advance

image that how i got my tablecell

declared in

func viewDidLoad() {
    self.cabinetVC.estimatedRowHeight = 260
        self.cabinetVC.rowHeight = UITableView.automaticDimension
    }

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

Did you set any constraints to the label? I answered another question here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52073107/uitableviewautomaticdimension-works-not-as-expected-swift/52073155#52073155 Maybe this helps too — Teetz, Jan 30 '19 at 11:28
@kiran cross check your constraints also(top, bottom, Leading and trailing) and UILable number of lines should be zero — Yogita J, Jan 30 '19 at 11:52

You should comment or remove this delegate method,

/*func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, estimatedHeightForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGFloat {

        return UITableView.automaticDimension
}*/

You are already providing some static value in viewDidLoad, that will helps to the proper sizing of the tableView cell.

Try and share the results.

EDIT: For 3x3 labels in a cell, you can do it as follows:

1) Take a vertical stackView

2) Add 3 Horizontal stackView to it.

3) Add 3 Labels to each horizontal stackView

4) Set numberOfLines to zero

5) Set equalWidth constraints to all inner stackViews and Labels.

6) Set leading, top, trailing and bottom to all stackViews and Labels.

For the label, you don't have the text - set nil to it and it will be handled properly.

Please edit your question with more code from heightForRow and cellForRow methods. – Bhavin Kansagara Jan 30 '19 at 11:55
if i use cell for row method everything is fine but label with empty data are hiding but height of the cell is not resizing – kiran Jan 30 '19 at 11:59
as mentioned by @Yogita J, you should check for the proper constraints. – Bhavin Kansagara Jan 30 '19 at 12:06
I had 3*3 labels in my custom cell so how can i add constraints to the labels for automatic dimension @Bhavin Kansagara – kiran Jan 31 '19 at 04:42

Automatic dimension relies on Auto Layout to determine the height of the cell. That means that there must be non ambiguous constraints. Make sure you have constraints from the top of the cell to the bottom of the cell.

For example:

---------------
       |
   ---------
   | label |
   ---------
       |
