Custom height for TSMessageView

[kartikthapar]

Is there a way to customize the message view height? I want the height of the message view to be same as that of a navigation bar, i.e. 44px.

Ideally we can just supply our own custom view, with its own height.

One option is to set the TSMessageViewProtocol delegate on the sharedMessage instance ofTSMessage. Then, implement - (void)customizeMessageView:(TSMessageView *)messageView. Because this library still uses springs/struts, you should be able to customize the view to your heart's content without having to worry about layout constraints that you don't manage.

@staufman There is no public property available of TSMessageView to adjust its height.

[staufman]

@SandeepAggarwal It has been a while now but since TSMessageView is just a UIView, you should just be able to change its frame right?

[SandeepAggarwal]

@staufman Yes , you are right but still the frame remains unchanged and the TSMessageView just shifts downwards upon changing its height.

The fact that something is changing means it's most likely something in your view hierarchy that is causing the problem. Without knowing more about your particular codebase, I'm not sure what, offhand, would be causing this.

[TSMessage setDelegate:self];

- (void)customizeMessageView:(TSMessageView *)messageView {
    [messageView mas_makeConstraints:^(MASConstraintMaker *make) {
        make.height.equalTo(@44);
    }];
}

or whatever height you want

tested on ios 8 and 9
