UITableViewCell async image loading layout

Question

I am asynchronously loading images into my UITableView 's cells using AFNetworking 's categories on UIImageView as follows:

[cell.imageView setImageWithURL:menuItem.image_url placeholderImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"placeholder"]];

My problem is that the cell loads fine with the placeholder image, but after the UITableView finishes loading, and I trigger a [cell layoutSubViews] by touching, scrolling, highlighting, etc, the cell pushes self.textLabel closer to self.imageView . Here's a series of images describing the behaviour:

This obviously ends up with non-uniform text. Am I even correct that it is the cell's layoutSubviews method that is getting called?

Answer 1

Well, this was dumb. I was right in that the cell's layoutSubviews method was getting called, so I subclassed UITableViewCell and implemented layoutSubViews myself and laid out self.imageView and self.textLabel myself. Sheesh.
