UITableViewCell Wrap Text - an Example
In the example, we are discussing about the setting of
UITableViewCell to warp the text in multiple lines. Though you can do
the setting directly through nib, but in the example we are doing it
programatically.
UILineBreakMode is the property of UITableViewCell that is used to
break the text or wrap the text in multiple lines. We are using the
UILineBreakModeWordWrap property in the example.
List of other available UILineBreakMode properties:
- UILineBreakModeWordWrap = 0, // Wrap at word boundaries
- UILineBreakModeCharacterWrap, // Wrap at character boundaries
- UILineBreakModeClip, // Simply clip when it hits the end of the rect
- UILineBreakModeHeadTruncation, // Truncate at head of line: "...wxyz". Will truncate multiline text on first line
- UILineBreakModeTailTruncation, // Truncate at tail of line: "abcd...". Will truncate multiline text on last line
- UILineBreakModeMiddleTruncation, // Truncate middle of line: "ab...yz". Will truncate multiline text in the middle
a Simple Example:
// Customize the appearance of table view cells.
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
// set font style, modes & lines.
cell.textLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica" size:12.0];
cell.textLabel.lineBreakMode = UILineBreakModeWordWrap;
cell.textLabel.numberOfLines = 3; // 0 means no max.
}
// Configure the cell.
NSString *cellValue = [array objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.textLabel.text = cellValue;
return cell;
}
