Zooming Tableviews - ios

I am trying to zoom in and out a TableView. The TableView is in a View which is inside a ScrollView. The TableView is scrollable but the pinch to zoom isn't working like it works with ImageView.
I would really appreciate if anyone could shed some light to this problem and share a working example.
I have already tried setting min and max zoom for UIScrollView in attribute inspector.

You can do that by:
first you have to make your table view content size intrinsic by make it subclass the below class.
class IntrinsicTableView: UITableView {
override open var contentSize: CGSize {
didSet{
invalidateIntrinsicContentSize()
}
}
override var intrinsicContentSize: CGSize{
return contentSize
}
}
Then you will stop scrolling of your table view from the storyboard.
Then you will configure scroll view to enable zooming.
That's it.

uitableviewcell with dynamic height child view controller

I have a custom uitableviewcell that has an embeded child view controller. This child view controller uses autolayout and contains another uitableview. I'm trying to render the cell so that the child view controller's tableview is exactly the height of the contents.
I know that you can do that by setting tableview height constraint equal to the contentsize.height
but since it's in a tableviewcell, there is already an encapsulated height calculated. How do I force the cell to resize with the new child view controller's uitableview updated height constraint?
Try to Use AutoHeight TableView inside your custom cell instead of child View Controller.
Set scrolling and jumping property to false of AutoHeight Table.
final class AutoHeightTableView: UITableView {
override var intrinsicContentSize: CGSize {
self.layoutIfNeeded()
return self.contentSize
}
override var contentSize: CGSize {
didSet{
UIView.performWithoutAnimation {
self.invalidateIntrinsicContentSize()
}
}
}
}

How to Dynamically increase height of Two Tableview in a Scrollview

I have an issue at the moment I am trying to put two table views inside a scrollview in one controller and these tableview are placed one below another. these two tableview uses scrollview for scrolling.
so I used vertical stackview inside scrollview. but when I create cell, both tableview height is not increases as well as scrollview is not able to scroll.
How should i use scrollview scroll for scrolling tableview?
-- scrollview
-----VerticalStackView
--------Tableview 1
--------Tableview 2
I'm really lost with this.Any help will be greatly appreciate it.
You need to make each UITableView define it's own size based on their content. To do that subclass both of them using the class below.
final class ContentSizedTableView: UITableView {
override var contentSize:CGSize {
didSet {
invalidateIntrinsicContentSize()
}
}
override var intrinsicContentSize: CGSize {
layoutIfNeeded()
return CGSize(width: UIView.noIntrinsicMetric, height: contentSize.height)
}
}
Then, for each UITableView you need to set isScrollEnabled = false. Otherwise their defined size will be 0.
Then just add each table view to the stack view you're using inside the scrollview. If their combined height is larger than the screen height, it'll scroll.

UITableView height equal to contentSize height

I have a scroll view and inside of if couple labels and a tableView. I would like for that tableView to be scrolled by a outer scrollView and not the tableView's scrollView, so what I did is to set constraint for tableView height to be equal to contentSize height. But I have this problem that it is sized correctly only when push animation is completed (and viewDidLayoutSubviews gets called, I guess)
override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
super.viewDidLayoutSubviews()
tableHeightConstraint?.constant = tableViewController.tableView.contentSize.height
}

Content size will refresh with scroll view logic. So layout subviews is surely not enough. I have one case where I resize table view depending on it's content. What I do is use intrinsic size (it is that compression priority thing in storyboard). I subclass the table view and override these:
override var contentSize:CGSize {
didSet {
self.invalidateIntrinsicContentSize()
}
}
override var intrinsicContentSize: CGSize {
self.layoutIfNeeded()
return CGSize(width: UIViewNoIntrinsicMetric, height: contentSize.height)
}
The rest may then be done with constraints. Im my case I do not resize it further then it's superview but you do what you must. Still a bit of caution here: If this is not restricted you destroy the table view dequeuing feature and all the cells may be loaded instantly which may consume loads of memory and CPU. I would avoid that if possible. And if not, the next best thing is using a vertical stack view on a scroll view which should produce the same result you seem to expect.

UICollectionVIew zoom of a single UIImageView in a cell

How to zoom a UIImageView that takes up a fullscreen cell in a UICollectionView image?
Since UICollectionView is a subclass of UIScrollView it should be fairly simple..
I tried to set minimumZoomScale, maximumZoomScale and viewForZoomingInScrollView: but the result is a mess.
In viewForZoomingInScrollView i returned the UIImageView, but that does not work.
Now i'm trying to return the visualized cell, but on zooming the image changes to the first cell.
it zooms but messes up the collection view.
func viewForZoomingInScrollView(scrollView: UIScrollView) -> UIView? {
if let selectedIndex = self.collectionView.indexPathsForVisibleItems().last as? NSIndexPath
{
let cell = self.collectionView.cellForItemAtIndexPath(selectedIndex)
return cell
}
return nil
}
So, what i need to do to zoom the image (cell) currently on screen?
Moreover pagingEnabled goes off automatically (that's good for panning the zoomed image, but not for scrolling the collection)
You need to put a new UIScrollView inside the cell of your UICollectionView since you should not mess with the zooming of the CollectionView itself.

UITableView is not showing inside a UIScrollView

I have in my View a long UIScrollView (about 1000 px in height), and at the end of this UIScrollView I have a UITableView.
The cellForRowAtIndexPath is never called (surely i checked the delegate and datasource if they are connected right, and the IBOutlet of the table is strong) but numberOfRowsInSection is getting called.
I tried reloading the TableView when the UIScrollView scrolls so when the table is at focus the cellForRowAtIndexPath might get called, but with no luck.
Did anyone encounter a similar behaviour when trying to use tableview and scrollview together?
Your hierarchy is like this:
A parentView is there. Inside the parent view there is a scroll view and there is a table view. So, your tableview is somewhere at 1000 from origin of parentview.
So, tableview will never become visible to your parentview and no delegates will be fired.
Include your view as a headerView of your UITableView like that:
Update for 2020, swift 5.X. To create a custom UITableView that allows your tableview inside a scrollview!
1) Create a subclass of UITableView:
import UIKit
final class ContentSizedTableView: UITableView {
override var contentSize:CGSize {
didSet {
invalidateIntrinsicContentSize()
}
}
override var intrinsicContentSize: CGSize {
layoutIfNeeded()
return CGSize(width: UIView.noIntrinsicMetric, height: contentSize.height)
}
}
2) Add a UITableView to your layout and set constraints on all sides. Set the class of it to ContentSizedTableView.
3) You should see some errors, because Storyboard doesn't take our subclass' intrinsicContentSize into account. At runtime it will use the override in our ContentSizedTableView class
