A tableview will also work (ie, via MonoTouch.Dialog and some
custom-written elements), and gives you scrolling and layout for free
:)
One element with the image + text labels
One element with the text
you can use:
var cellSize= new NSString("BIG BLOCK OF TEXT HERE").StringSize(THE
FONT YOU USE, new SizeF(WIDTH, 999), UILineBreakMode.CharacterWrap);
height = cellSize.Height;
(999 assumes that you have unlimited vertical space. Make it bigger if need be)
So, if you have 4 lines of text, and each line is 15px high, then
it'll return a Size with the width (eg 300) and a height of (15 + line
spacing) x 4. It's a bit more complex than that, but you dont need to
know that - basically, you provided the text, and the font, and how
big a space you want to put it in (WIDTH,999) and it works out how
much space it needs...
to work the height of your text block out, and return it in the
CellHeight virtual method on the Element.
