Changing ULabel TableView alignment when scrolling

I have TableView

with 3 UILabel

: title, author name and category and UIImage

. All cells should look something like this:

Correct cell layout:

When the application starts up for some reason, some cells are UILabel

not aligned as they should be:

After scrolling TableView

several times, these cells end up in correct alignment. I'm not really sure what is causing this.

I created my own Cell TableView class (following this tutorial )

CustomTableViewCell.h

@interface CustomTableViewCell : UITableViewCell
@property (nonatomic, weak) IBOutlet UIImageView *image;
@property (nonatomic, weak) IBOutlet UILabel *titleLabel;
@property (nonatomic, weak) IBOutlet UILabel *authorLabel;
@property (nonatomic, weak) IBOutlet UILabel *categoryLabel;
@end

      

        
        
        
      

    

CustomTableViewCell.m

@implementation CustomTableViewCell

- (id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewCellStyle)style reuseIdentifier:(NSString *)reuseIdentifier
{
    self = [super initWithStyle:style reuseIdentifier:reuseIdentifier];

    if (self) {
        // Initialization code
    }
    return self;
}

- (void)awakeFromNib
{
   // Initialization code
}

- (void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected animated:(BOOL)animated
{
    [super setSelected:selected animated:animated];

    // Configure the view for the selected state
}

- (void)layoutSubviews
{
    [super layoutSubviews];
    [self.contentView layoutIfNeeded];
    self.titleLabel.preferredMaxLayoutWidth = CGRectGetWidth(self.titleLabel.frame);
    [self.titleLabel sizeToFit];
    [self.titleLabel setNumberOfLines:0];
}

@end

      

        
        
        
      

    

This is how this class is implemented in ViewController

:

@interface CurrentIssueViewController () {
    CurrentIssueModel *_currentIssueModel;
    Article *_selectedArticle;
}

@end

@implementation CurrentIssueViewController

static NSString *cellIdentifier = @"BasicCell";
UIActivityIndicatorView *activityView;
//@synthesize _feedItems;

- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
    self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
    if (self) {
        // Custom initialization
    }
    return self;
}

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];


    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(didChangePreferredContentSize:)name:UIContentSizeCategoryDidChangeNotification object:nil];

    // Create array object and assign it to _feedItems variable
    self._feedItems = [[NSArray alloc] init];

    // Create new HomeModel object and assign it to _homeModel variable
    _currentIssueModel = [[CurrentIssueModel alloc] init];

    // Set this view controller object as the delegate for the home model object
    _currentIssueModel.delegate = self;

    // Call the download items method of the home model object
    [_currentIssueModel downloadItems];
}

- (void)dealloc
{
    [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self name:UIContentSizeCategoryDidChangeNotification object:nil];
}

- (void)didChangePreferredContentSize:(NSNotification *)notification
{
    [self.tableView reloadData];
}

- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
    [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}

-(void)itemsDownloaded:(NSArray *)items
{
    // This delegate method will get called when the items are finished downloading

    // Set the downloaded items to the array
    self._feedItems = items;

    [activityView stopAnimating];

    // Reload the table view
    [self.tableView reloadData];
}

#pragma mark Table View Delegate Methods

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
    // Return the number of feed items (initially 0)
    return self._feedItems.count;
}

        NSString *fulltitle = article_item.Title;

        if (article_item.Subtitle != nil && article_item.Subtitle.length != 0) {
            fulltitle = [fulltitle stringByAppendingString:@": "];
            fulltitle = [fulltitle stringByAppendingString:article_item.Subtitle];
        }
        textCell.titleLabel.text = fulltitle;

        if ([article_item.Author isEqualToString:@"accountant"]) {
            textCell.authorLabel.text = @"";
        }
        else {
            textCell.authorLabel.text = article_item.Author;
        }

        textCell.categoryLabel.text = article_item.Cat_Name;

        if ([article_item.ImageUrl length] != 0) {
            url = [NSURL URLWithString:article_item.ImageUrl];
        }
        else {
            url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"imageurl"];
        }

        [textCell.image sd_setImageWithURL:url placeholderImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"default_image.jpg"]];
    }
}

- (CustomTableViewCell *)prototypeCell
{
    if (!_prototypeCell)
    {
        _prototypeCell = [self.tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
    }
    return _prototypeCell;
}

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    [self configureCell:self.prototypeCell forRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];

    self.prototypeCell.bounds = CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, CGRectGetWidth(self.tableView.bounds), CGRectGetHeight(self.prototypeCell.bounds));

    [self.prototypeCell layoutIfNeeded];

    CGSize size = [self.prototypeCell.contentView systemLayoutSizeFittingSize:UILayoutFittingCompressedSize];
    return size.height+1;

    // Set selected article to var
    _selectedArticle = self._feedItems[indexPath.row];

}

#pragma mark Segue

- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
    // Get reference to the destination view controller
    ArticleViewController *articleVC = segue.destinationViewController;

    // Set the property to the selected article so when the view for
    // detail view controller loads, it can access that property to get the feeditem obj
    articleVC.selectedArticle = _selectedArticle;
}

@end

      

        
        
        
      

    

I'm guessing it has something to do with forRowAtIndexPath

, but I can't figure out what the problem is.

Update:

I noticed that there is another problem with the title UILabel

. Whenever you select a cell, review the article in another ViewController

and return to UITableView

, the heading labels are located in Center Left

, not Top Left

. After re-scrolling, the title marks are adjusted to the correct position.
