I have this code that creates a webView:
var webV:UIWebView = UIWebView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: UIScreen.main.bounds.width, height: UIScreen.main.bounds.height))
I have the WebView did start like so:
func webView(webView: UIWebView, shouldStartLoadWithRequest request: NSURLRequest, navigationType: UIWebViewNavigationType) -> Bool {
return true
}
I have embedded a navigation controller on the view controller, which I didn't want to do, because I only want the navigation to show on the webview, but oh well.
The problem is that now the navigation conroller cuts off the top portion of the webview. I know I can adjust the webview down, but is that what I'm supposed to do? I feel like it should be easier to create a webview with a navigation controller.
Any help would be appreciated. Yes I have looking through stack overflow, however everyone else is using a viewcontroller to present the webview whereas I create the webview
You create the UIWebView with UIScreen.main.bounds width and height. That means that your web view will take up the entire screen in terms of size. However, you would have other elements on screen such as the status bar, the navigation bar (and, for example, if you have a tab bar, the tab bar at the bottom) which would take up some of the screen space.
So, what you should really do is set up layout constraints so that your web view makes use of the top and bottom layout guides so that your web view appears in the visible area.
If you are not sure of how to do autolayout constraints via code, this tutorial might help.
Alternatively, you can also take the bounds of the view to which you are adding your webview to set the size for your web view, but adjust the height (and the top position) to allow for the navigation bar.

In my app, I am loading about the page in a view controller with a WebKit WebView, and Viewcontroller has a Large Navigation Controller. At time of view DidLoad Large navigation bar is shown fine.
At this point when I start loading my WebView with a local HTML file.
After loading this WebView, without any user interaction, ViewController automatically scrolls up such that navigation bar shrink to actual small-sized form.
Yes this is the default behaviour of navigation bar if you want to set large navigation bar all the time then you have to go with custom navigation bar. Create your own Navigation bar. Thanks
What will help you is the use of viewLayoutMarginsDidChange() .Using this you can check in everyview if the view size has changed and if so you can set your original navigation title size here , So instead of what i have added , parse your Navigation bar frame values below.
var didChange = false
override func viewLayoutMarginsDidChange() {
if didChange {
print("Height : - \
(self.navigationController?.navigationBar.frame.size.height)")
// set NavigationBar Height here
self.navigationController!.navigationBar.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width:
UIScreen.main.bounds.width, height: 96.0)
didChange.toggle()
}
}
Try getting the scroll events of wkWebView.srollView in scrollViewDidScroll , see if something make it scroll.
Or , disable WKWebView.scrollView.scrollEnabled when loading the WebView and enable it back when load completes
Change the contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior property of the ScrollView of WebView to .never in your viewDidLoad method.
webView.scrollView.contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior = .never
You can try :
webView.scrollView.contentInsetAdjustmentBehaviour = .never
I have a Navigation Controller and a Collection View under it inside my app. And there is a problem: I use large title inside my Navigation bar, so everything inside is not static. When I scroll the collection view cells, the title (I created it manually using UILabel() to move it as I want inside the navigation bar) and buttons move up and the navigation bar takes form of iOS 10 navigation bar, I mean its height. You can see it here:
The normal state of my Navigation Bar with "Prefer large titles" On:
It happens when I scroll my Collection View, everything goes up:
So the question is simple: how to make the force constant height for the navigation bar? I want it to become fixed even while scrolling. Are there any ideas? Is it possible?
And the second question, if the first is impossible: Another solution for my problem is to make the Navigation Bar with "Prefer large titles" Off bigger. I tried this code:
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(animated)
let height: CGFloat = 50 //whatever height you want to add to the existing height
let bounds = self.navigationController!.navigationBar.bounds
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: bounds.width, height: bounds.height + height)
}
but it worked only for large titles. So how can I make the navigation bar bigger?
Yes, you can make it fixed. It will not scroll if the very first view in the view hierarchy is not a CollectionView/TableView (ScrollView).
Using Storyboard/Xib:
Consider the following image where a tableView and button are added in scene. Here the navigation bar will collapse on scroll of tableView because tableView is the very first view in viewController's containerView hierarchy attached to the navigation bar.
Now to make the navigation bar fixed, if we just change the order of tableView and button as below, it will disable the collapsing of navigation bar.
To change the order of the view, you have to click, hold and move up/down.
If you have only CollectionView in this scene then you can add a placeholder view at the top and set its height to zero as below,
Programmatically:
If you are setting up view's programmatically then you just need to add a placeholder view at the top or add tableView/collection after adding other views.
e.g,
self.view.addSubview(UIView(frame: .zero))
self.view.addSubview(tableView) // or collectionView
I want to have the Tab Bar at the top of the screen. One post suggested to do the followings (I put the following code in the viewDidLoad() of the UITabBarController) :
CODE
let tabBar = self.tabBar
// yStatusBar indicates the height of the status bar
let yStatusBar = UIApplication.sharedApplication().statusBarFrame.size.height
// Set the size and the position in the screen of the tab bar
tabBar.frame = CGRectMake(0, yStatusBar, tabBar.frame.size.width, tabBar.frame.size.height)
There are 2 problems with this solution:
The bottom of the screen is left with a black region where the tab bar was
The Tab bar covers the view at the top of the screen - the constraints of that view is relative to the device but they should be relative to the Tab bar. However when the screen is designed in the IB there is no Tab bar to relate to.
Is there a way to overcome these problems? P.S. I am new to IOS
let tabBar = self.tabBarController?.tabBar
// Set the size and the position in the screen of the tab bar
tabBar?.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: self.view.frame.height, width: (tabBar?.frame.size.width)!, height: (tabBar?.frame.size.height)!)
Although it is against the human interface guidelines there exist a hack if you really want to.
You could create a blank UIView in your storyboard (with proper constraints set up) that would essentially be the placeholder for the tabBar when loaded.
You then set top constraints for your other views relative to this view that you have setup.
This works, but probably not best practice to do so
I'm building an application for iOS, which is using a navigation controller. I want to put a view in the titleView, and have it fill the whole width of the navigation bar.
I'm calling setupNavBar in viewDidLoad of the view controller that is embedded in the navigation controller. Here is how I do:
func setupNavBar() {
let navBar = navigationController?.navigationBar
// navBar!.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
// navBar!.frame.size.height = CGFloat(100)
let searchBar = UIView(frame: navBar!.frame)
searchBar.bounds = CGRectMake(0, 0, navBar!.frame.width, navBar!.frame.height)
searchBar.backgroundColor = UIColor.brownColor()
navigationItem.titleView = searchBar
}
But the view (brown - "searchBar"), doesn't cover the full navigation bar:
So I figured out that the problem was related to Autoresizing and Constraints, because if I call navBar!.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false, I can freely set the sizes of views frame, so there must be some constraints that change the view's bounds. But I would like to keep as much of the autolayout behaviour as possible.
Is there a way to only change the contraints on the titleView?
I'm doing everything programmatically, I don't use the storyboard or xib's!
EDIT:
But it doesn't seem like there is any constraints on either navigationItem or navBar:
for someObject in navigationItem.titleView!.constraints {
print(someObject)
}
It doesn't print any constraints. neither if I use navBar.constraints!
EDIT 2:
I have a screenshot from "View UI Hierarchy" from the debug navigator:
It seems that the view(brown) alligns with the Navigation Bar Back Indicator View, maybe this is a clue to what causes the problem?
How come the view is resized?
Two different suggestions here:
1. You can try the
navigationItem.titleView.sizeToFit()
Otherwise you could set the background colour of the navbar to brown as it appears you wish the brown bar to cover the entire width of the navbar. If you want to add other views on top of that you then can.
You could also try to make an outlet to the title view and add an NSLayoutConstraint using
navigationItem.titleView.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint: NSLayoutConstraint)
I am not entirely sure whether that will work, however.
Since I updated my app to iOS 7 new GUI I have a problem that I can't solve.
My app consists in a scrollable TableView. Trouble is that TableView scrolls underlying top bar, means that table doesn't consider top bar and extends till the top and it's ugly to see.
I tried removing check on "Extend edges under Top Bars" but it's the same.
How can I solve this?
One solution is: set the table view's contentInset and scrollIndicatorInsets to have a top inset of 20. The table view will still underlap the status bar, but it will be completely visible when scrolled all the way.
If you don't like that solution, and you want a permanent empty area behind the status bar, you will have to change the way you pin/position the top of the table view, to allow for the status bar. How you do this depends on whether you are using auto layout. If you are, just pin to the top layout guide. If you are not, you will have to use the "delta" field provided in the nib editor.
If you are using a UITableViewController, however, you are not in charge of the top of the table view; it is a full-screen view and it is the view controller's main view. This is quite a troublesome situation, actually. I have resorted to two solutions:
Put the whole thing into a UINavigationController in order to get the nav bar to "run interference" for me.
Or, embed the table view controller in a custom parent view controller just so that I can position the top of the table view.
In UINavigationController I created an UIView, which goes under status bar but in front of embed controller (the Table), so table disappear behind this view and status bar is always on top.
var patch: UIView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
patch = UIView(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, view.bounds.width, 20))
patch.backgroundColor = UIColor.redColor()
self.view.addSubview(patch)
}
Then I make it disappear when screen goes in Landscape (in iOS9, status bar automatically disappear in Landscape) and make it reappear when screen goes in Portrait.
override func viewWillTransitionToSize(size: CGSize, withTransitionCoordinator coordinator: UIViewControllerTransitionCoordinator) {
if UIDevice.currentDevice().orientation.isLandscape.boolValue {
patch.hidden = true
} else {
patch.hidden = false
}
}
