I am implementing a custom view that has a UITableView as a subitem. This custom view is also a delegate of the specified UITableView. My intention is to have two levels of cells. Higher levels can be clicked so that they collapse and show lower levels.
By clicking on a cell named "category B", this should happen:
As you can see in the pictures, when the first-level cell is clicked (and -tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath: ), the table expands (I use -insertRowsAtIndexPaths:withRowAnimation: to insert the "B1 subcategory" into the table).
I want this custom view to be exactly the same size as the visible contents of the table inside. Right now, after inserting a new cell, I'm telling the user view to reset its frame with the new height of the contents of the UITableView.
The problem is with the animation: I cannot synchronize the UITableView insertion animation and the custom view frame by changing its height. I can make the view expanded and then animate the insert or animate the insert first, and then change the frame of the custom view.
Is there a way to synchronize these actions so that they are performed in one animation?
