Iphone – Default height for section header in UITableView

cocoa-touchiphoneuitableview

I want to set the height of the first header in my UITableView. For the other headers I want them to remain the default height. What value/constant can I put in place of "someDefaultHeight" in the code below?

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
    if (section == 0)
        return kFirstHeaderHeight;

    return someDefaultHeight;
}

Thanks

In IOS 5.0 onwards you can return UITableViewAutomaticDimension in most of the delegate methods. Its at the bottom of the documentation page 

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
    if(section == CUSTOM_SECTION)
    {
        return CUSTOM_VALUE;
    }
    return UITableViewAutomaticDimension;
}
