I’m trying to get self sizing UICollectionViewCells
working with Auto Layout, but I can’t seem to get the cells to size themselves to the content. I’m having trouble understanding how the cell’s size is updated from the contents of what’s inside the cell’s contentView.
Here’s the setup I’ve tried:
- Custom
UICollectionViewCell
with aUITextView
in its contentView. - Scrolling for the
UITextView
is disabled. - The contentView’s horizontal constraint is: “H:|[_textView(320)]”, i.e. the
UITextView
is pinned to the left of the cell with an explicit width of 320. - The contentView’s vertical constraint is: “V:|-0-[_textView]”, i.e. the
UITextView
pinned to the top of the cell. - The
UITextView
has a height constraint set to a constant which theUITextView
reports will fit the text.
Here’s what it looks like with the cell background set to red, and the UITextView
background set to Blue:
I put the project that I’ve been playing with on GitHub here.
