My UIViewController contains only UITableView,here my tableview frame is for example (0,0, 320, 480) this is always same because "frame is relative to superview". Here i want to know is when scrolls the UITableView 100px up at this point of time what is my UITableView bounds?

I have created a tableview in code as follows:
_myTableView = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:
CGRectMake(160, 80, 140, 100) style:UITableViewStylePlain];
_myTableView.delegate = self;
_myTableView.dataSource = self;
_myTableView.scrollEnabled = YES;
[self.view addSubview:_myTableView];
It largely works as it should with the following exception. Because the results in the table vary, I manually adjust the height of the tableview so that it only takes up as much space as the returned rows need as follows:
-(void) changeTVHeight: (float) height {
//height calculated from number of items in array returned.
CGRect newFrame = CGRectMake(120, 80, 180, height);
self.myTableView.frame = newFrame;
}
This works great for shrinking the tableview if there aren't that many results.
However, if there are a lot of results, the tableview expands below the visible part of the screen or the keyboard. In this case, I would like to be able to scroll the Tableview to see the lower rows.
scrollEnabled is set to YES.
But while it does allow one to scroll a bit, the scroll is resisted so with effort you can scroll a little bit but due to rubber band effect you cannot get further than a few rows below the screen and you cannot tap on the lower rows.
I am using autolayout in storyboard for much of the screen. The overall screen scrolls fine but this merely moves the tableview anchored to the screen up and down. There are no constraints on this tableview but it is added as a subview of the view.
My question is how can I make the tableview scrollable so that it scrolls without resistance?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Edit:
I tried adding the tableView to self.scrollView instead of self.view. This anchored the tableView to the scrollview so it is possible to scroll the whole screen down and see the bottom of the tableview. However, this is not ideal because the rest of the screen is empty way down and you can't see the context for the tableview. (It's an autocomplete for a textfield at top of screen.)
In contrast when the tableview is added to self.view, it is in correct place, it semi-scrolls or bounces. It just doesn't scroll down to where I need it to scroll.
You need to set a limit so that the table view cannot be larger than the view itself. Tableviews are built on UIScrollView and will handle scrolling on their own, you don't need to try to size it manually. The reason the table view bounces but doesn't scroll is because it is extending below the bottom of the screen. It wont scroll because it has already scrolled to the bottom, you just can't see it because it's outside of the superview.
-(void) changeTVHeight: (float) height {
CGFloat limitedHeight = MIN(height, self.view.frame.size.height)
CGRect newFrame = CGRectMake(120, 80, 180, limitedHeight);
self.myTableView.frame = newFrame;
}
I'm using a table and image in my program.
I placed the image on top and table just below that.
Now I need to keep the Image static and On scrolling I want the table to go above the image according to the scroll height.
Use the contentInset of your UITableView to adjust the initial offset of the content. Make sure your tableView is front of your UIImageView.
[self.tableView setContentInset:UIEdgeInsetsMake(viewHeight, 0, 0, 0)];
contentInset will only adjust the initial content position, so when scrolling, the whole frame of your UITableView is used.
Update: UIView is UIImageView in your case
You can use it by Placing both the UIImageView and UITableView in UIScrollView
And set UIScrollView contentSize() according to need like
1.) scrollView.scontentSize = CGSizeMake(scrollView.frame.size.width, imageView.frame.size.height + tableView.frame.size.height + 10);
2.) Set UITableView scrolling to NO
This would help you.ThankYou
I want to get my UITableViewController to scroll only when there is not enough room on the screen for all of its cells. I am using static cells that are designed to be shown in an iPhone 5, 6, and 6 plus size screen. However, when shown in the 4s screen, the bottom cells get cut off.
Ideally I would like to use AutoLayout to anchor the bottom of the tableview to the bottom of its superview as I have with other tableviews in my application, but Xcode doesn't allow me to add constraints to the UITableView in a UITableViewController. The reason I have to use the UITableViewController is because I am using a pod for a slide menu (https://github.com/SocialObjects-Software/AMSlideMenu) that subclasses UITableViewController.
I have tried to change the size of the UITableView's frame based on the screen size because I assumed a scroller would automatically be added if the cells took up more room than the containing frame. I used the following code to do so:
CGRect frame = self.tableView.frame;
[self.tableView setFrame:CGRectMake(frame.origin.x, frame.origin.y, frame.size.width, [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height - HEADER_HEIGHT)];
However, it had no effect on the way the table was displayed.
Does anyone know how I might be able to set the bottom of the UITableView dynamically and add a scroller to the cells when the screen is too small? I would also welcome any suggestions that might help avoid having to do this at all, as I would prefer not having to do anything too hacky.
You can set the alwaysBounceVertical property to false so the tableView will only scroll when its contentSize is larger than the table view's frame which you can constrain to your view however you like.
tableView.alwaysBounceVertical = NO;
UITableViewController height is determined by automatically calculating number of UITableViewCell you have presented. You can customize the cell height so that height of UITableViewController will automatically changed as you wished.
Inside a UIViewController, I need to have the bottom half scrollable. So I added a UIScrollView and positioned it halfway down the view's height. And in the viewDidAppear method, I have put the below two code lines to make it scrollable.
self.scrollView.contentSize = CGSizeMake(self.view.frame.size.width, self.scrollView.frame.size.height);
self.scrollView.frame = self.view.frame;
This way works if the scroll view fills the entire view, I've tested. But this method didn't work for my need. The scroll view would automatically move up and take up the entire screen. I assumed it was the second line of code which causes this.
So I removed the scroll view, added two UIViews to the view controller. To the bottom view, I added the UIScrollView. And in the viewDidAppear method, I have put the same two code lines changing the second line to refer the frame of the UIView that contains the scroll view..
self.scrollView.contentSize = CGSizeMake(self.view.frame.size.width, self.scrollView.frame.size.height);
self.scrollView.frame = self.containerView.frame;
But it wouldn't scroll either.
Can anyone please tell me how to do this correctly?
Thank you.
Dude, you keep setting the frame of the scrollView to something completely different from what you're actually trying to achieve.
If all you want to do is setup your scroll view so that it only occupies half the space then why dont you just set the frame so that the height only covers the portion of the screen that you want it to cover; and then set the x & y coordinates so that you draw the scroll view from the right position.
Do something like this:
//Shortcut to view's frame.
CGRect viewsFrame = self.view.frame;
/**
CGRectMake takes 4 parameters: x, y, width, height
x: is set to 0 since you want the scrollview to start from the left with no margin
y: you want the y position to start half way, so we grab the view's height and divide by 2
width: you want your scrollview to span from left to right, so simply grab the view's width
height: you want your scrollview's height to be half of your screen height, so get view's height and divide by 2.
*/
CGRect frameForSV = CGRectMake(0, viewsFrame.size.height/2, viewsFrame.size.width, viewsFrame.size.height/2);
UIScrollView *myScrollView = [[UIScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:frameForSV];
[self.view addSubview:myScrollView];
Then set your content size not based on an ansolute value, its best to have it based on the size of the content that's actually inside your scrollview so that your scrollview always scrolls to cover all your content inside it.
Also, remember that your scrollview will only scroll if the contentsize is greater than the scrollview's frame
UPDATE 1 after reading your comment in this post simply comment out any code in your viewController.m file related to your scrollview since youre setting up everything in interface builder.
This is the result:
In my application, I rotated the table view for 90 degrees i.e., the table view is now horizontal table view. After rotation I tried to increase its scroll size as I was unable to view the last row but I couldn't increase it. As table view is sub class of UIScroll view, I tried to change it in Interface Builder but nothing solved my problem. Please tell me how to increase this table view scroll view width to view all the contents.
rotateTable = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(-M_PI_2);
tableView.transform = rotateTable;
[tableView setFrame:CGRectMake(40, 333, self.view.frame.size.width , 37)];
In IB,Size Inspector: Scroll View Size: Scroller Insets : Right : 500 (I changed the Right attribute to increase the width)
You don't need to manage it. Tableview does it itself. Your problem is frame of tableview. Your tableview is crossing bounds of it's superview(view in which tableview is added). Check tableview's frame. Make sure it will not exceed bounds of superview.
