Manage height of UITableView cell

Question

I am very new to iPhone Development. I am fetching data from the table and putting it onto the UITableViewCell. But sometimes this data is very small and sometimes may be large. According to the data size I need to manage the height of cell and data is displayed properly in a cell with multiline if it doesn't fit to single line. Is there any other option for me instead of UITableView or I am in Right way. If yes then how should I proceed?

    return 80;   //value can be changed depending, how much height you need.
 }

A UITableView is ok for you. In your UITableViewDelegate, you can use

– tableView:heightForRowAtIndexPath:

to set the row height. Now, if your data is displayed correctly or not, it depends on the content you are managing in the table view cell. UITextField is intrinsically one-line; but you could try with UITextView.

Otherwise, if you are looking for more advanced possibilities, have a look at this tutorial about customizing cell view content.

Have a look at this S.O. topicenter link description here for a snippet of code about calculating the size of string.
