I have a question about UITableView.

I want to let the tableView height according to my cells content height.

So, I use the following code successfully.

DispatchQueue.main.async {

    var frame = self.tableView.frame

    frame.size.height = self.tableView.contentSize.height

    self.tableView.frame = frame

}

But when I have much data to show, my contents will out of screen.

And the tableView also out of screen.

Have any ideas to set it's constrain and don't make it out of screen.

I want to set 15 between the tableView bottom layout and superView bottom layout.

I use SnapKit to set autolayout.

//I want to set this one is the biggest frame size. Other contents I can scroll the tableView to show the data.



tableView.snp.makeConstraints { (make) in 

    make.top.equalTo(self.topLayoutGuide.snp.bottom)

    make.left.equalTo(10)

    make.right.equalTo(-10)

    make.bottom.equalTo(-15)

} 

Have you tried

self.tableView.invalidateIntrinsicContentSize()

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiview/1622457-invalidateintrinsiccontentsize

Maybe you can limit the height of the table's frame, making sure is not longer than its superView, something like this modifying your code:

DispatchQueue.main.async {

    if let superViewHeight = self.tableView.superView?.bounds.maxY {

        let maxHeight = superViewHeight - self.tableView.frame.minY

        var frame = self.tableView.frame

        frame.size.height = min(self.tableView.contentSize.height, maxHeight)

        self.tableView.frame = frame

    }

}

Code Work :

class ViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource {



    @IBOutlet weak var tblHeightConstraint: NSLayoutConstraint! // tableView Height Constraint

    @IBOutlet weak var tblView: UITableView!



    var tblMaxHeight : CGFloat = 50



    override func viewDidLoad() {

        super.viewDidLoad()



        let navHeight = (self.navigationController?.navigationBar.frame.size.height)! + UIApplication.shared.statusBarFrame.size.height



        tblMaxHeight = self.view.frame.size.height - 40 - navHeight



    }





    override func viewDidLayoutSubviews(){



        tblHeightConstraint.constant = min(tblMaxHeight, tblView.contentSize.height)

    }





    func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {

        return 24

    }



    func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {

        let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cell")



        cell?.textLabel?.text = "Row: #(indexPath.row)"



        return cell!

    }





}

Constraints to tableView :

Output :

Put your UITableView inside a UIScrollView and add constraints like this:

Constraints to Table View

Create an IBOutlet of the height constraint and then override viewWillLayoutSubviews in your UIViewController

override func viewWillLayoutSubviews() {

    super.updateViewConstraints()

    self.tableViewHeightConstraint.constant = tableView.contentSize.height

}

I have solved a similar problem using the following method. You only need few lines of code.

override func viewDidLoad() {

    super.viewDidLoad()

    setupTableView()

}



private func setupTableView() {

    tableView.estimatedRowHeight = 44.0

    tableView.rowHeight = UITableViewAutomaticDimension

}

Simply set an estimated row height for the UITableView and then set the rowHeight as UITableViewAutomaticDimension.

You could create a custom UITableView :

class AutomaticHeightTableView: UITableView {



  override var contentSize: CGSize {

    didSet {

      self.invalidateIntrinsicContentSize()

    }

  }



  override var intrinsicContentSize: CGSize {

    self.layoutIfNeeded()

    return CGSize(width: UIViewNoIntrinsicMetric, height: contentSize.height + 20)

  }



}

And then set your UITableView Class to AutomaticHeightTableView.
