Question

Hi i am new for ios and in my app i have created one UITableView and i have set background image for UITableViewcell but image not filling the whole width of screen as like below screen. Why this problem is occuring?
I mean UITableViewCell left and right sides gap is coming images is not filling whole cell width.
please help me someone
my code:-
#import "TableViewController.h"
#interface TableViewController ()
{
UITableView * tableList;
TableCell * Cell;
}
#end
#implementation TableViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
tableList = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, [[UIScreen mainScreen]bounds].size.width, [[UIScreen mainScreen]bounds].size.height) style:UITableViewStylePlain];
tableList.delegate = self;
tableList.dataSource = self;
tableList.separatorStyle = UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleNone;
[self.view addSubview:tableList];
}
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView {
return 1;
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
return 10;
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *simpleTableIdentifier = #"MyCell";
Cell = (TableCell *)[tableList dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:simpleTableIdentifier];
if (Cell == nil)
{
NSArray *nib = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:#"TableCell" owner:self options:nil];
Cell = [nib objectAtIndex:0];
}
//UIImageView *imageBackground = [[UIImageView alloc] init];
if (indexPath.row == 0) {
Cell.backGroundImage.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"cell_top.png"];
} else if (indexPath.row == 9) {
Cell.backGroundImage.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"cell_bottom.png"];
} else {
Cell.backGroundImage.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"cell_middle.png"];
}
//imageBackground.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleToFill;
//Cell.backgroundView = imageBackground;
return Cell;
}
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
return 44.0;
}
-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
if ([cell respondsToSelector:#selector(setSeparatorInset:)]) {
[cell setSeparatorInset:UIEdgeInsetsZero];
}
if ([cell respondsToSelector:#selector(setPreservesSuperviewLayoutMargins:)]) {
[cell setPreservesSuperviewLayoutMargins:NO];
}
if ([cell respondsToSelector:#selector(setLayoutMargins:)]) {
[cell setLayoutMargins:UIEdgeInsetsZero];
}
}
#end

Answer 1

Try to set the layoutMargins property of the cells and the UITableView to UIEdgeInsetsZero.
- (void) viewDidLayoutSubviews {
[super viewDidLayoutSubviews];
tableList.layoutMargins = UIEdgeInsetsZero;
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
[...]
Cell.layoutMargins = UIEdgeInsetsZero;
return Cell;
}
Also check for the contentMode of the UIImageview.
Cell.backGroundImage.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFill;

Answer 2

try set contentInset on Left = 0
self.tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, 0, 0);

Answer 3

Use Debug View Hierarchy to figure out UITableView, UITableViewCell or UIImage is not filling the whole width of screen

Answer 4

Please check your "TableCell" in the storyboard. Did you select custom insets option for your custom cell?

Answer 5

Rather than setting up your table view with code, you want to do this in a storyboard. Then you'll want to use auto layout to connect constraints from the table view to the view controller's view. There are lots of tutorials available to teach you how to do this. Learning this will make things much easier in the long run.
Change the name of your tableList property to tableView. That will make more sense to other developers (including yourself in the future), since that's what it is (a UITableView instance).
Your cell is named Cell with a capital C, but you don't want to name properties with capital letters. Also, it doesn't need to be a class property the way it's being used. Remove it from the #interface section.
Coding Guidelines for Cocoa
Remove the -numberOfSectionsInTableView: method. The default is 1, so you don't need code to return the default value.
Instead of -dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:, use -dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:forIndexPath:. Then you won't need to follow it with a test to see if a cell was returned (it always will be). You'll need to register your nib with -registerNib:forCellReuseIdentifier:. Or better yet, just design it in the storyboard.
It appears that your custom table view cell has a UIImageView named backGroundImage. That should be added as a subview to the cell's backgroundView property (which you'll need to create - the view, not the property, which is already part of UITableViewCell). Set the image view's autoresizingMask so it will resize with the backgroundView:
- (void)awakeFromNib
{
[super awakeFromNib];
self.backgroundView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:self.bounds];
self.backGroundImage.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;
self.backGroundImage.frame = self.backgroundView.bounds;
[self.backgroundView addSubview:self.backGroundImage];
}
Remove the -tableView:heightForRowAtIndexPath: method. You only want to use this if you return different values. The default row height is 44.0, so you don't need to do anything else.
