I am loading a XIB on top of a camera view, however I can't seem to find out how to resize the XIB to fit different screen sizes. please se below how my XIB is set up.
any help would be appreciated. :)
Before you add the view as a subview, set the view's frame to the parent view's bounds. Assuming the parent view is named parentview and the XIB you are loading is called subview:
subview.frame = parentview.bounds
parentview.addSubview(subview)

I've tried to create custom UIView, which contains another UIView as subview. But when I loaded it with "loadNibNamed", I cannot change the frame size of subview inside the custom view.
Pictures below is how I added the view to the viewcontroller. I still can change some property of subview, but not for the "frame". How can I change the frame size in my custom view ?
Snapshot:
Disable autolayout in MyView.xib. Constraints from XIB file resize redView back.
Go to the File inspector in interface builder, and untick "Use Auto Layout".
I have a UIView with labels and textfields and I tested it in the simulator and noticed that I cannot scroll to see the rest of the view, how can I make the view into a UIScrollView and what do I need to do so I can make the view scrollable? I don't want to move labels and stuff or delete the UIView, is there a simple way?
Take a UIScrollView in Xib file outside your view. drag your view into this scrollview. The subviews inside your view remains same. and set the scrollview's contentSize
I need a UIScrollview to show some static content in my app. I have taken a UIScrollView through XIB and started adding some UIImageViews and textViews in to it. But after coming to the end of the scrollView the view is not exapanding anymore. I need more space so that I can add some more views below. Is there any way in which I can do this (through XIB and not through code).
I struggled a lot to get this done in a more elegant way then the solution described by Csabi.
It's really simple:
In your xib file just add a generic view which is not a subview of your viewController.view (i.e although this view is in your xib file, it is not a part of your viewController's view hierarchy.)
Then select this view and using size inspector set the width and height that suits your need. Add whatever objects you want to this view. Hook up this view to your viewController with an IBOutlet. (Let's call it IBOutlet UIView *myBigView).
in your viewController.view drag a ScrollView and adjust the size of the scroll view as you like. Hook this up to your viewController. (IBOutlet UIScrollView *scrollView)
Now it's super simple:
-(void) viewDidLoad{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.scrollView.contentSize = self.myBigView.bounds.size;
[self.scrollView addSubview:self.myBigView];
}
Yes it is you can define the height of the UIScrollView simply for example height:1800
now you get bigger UIScrollView then your view you can put your objects to scrollview, and if it is filled simply pull it upward and drag and drop other items when you are finished simply pull the scroll view to its position and you have it.
It is simple :)
Hope it helps
Ask if you have any other question
I have created an iPhone UI programmatically but I just can't figure out how to fit a view so that it doesn't get overlapped by the TabBar. Here's the ownership hierarchy:
- AppDelegate
UITabBarController
UINavigationController x
UITableViewController
UIViewController (with XIB)
UIScrollViewController (in the same XIB as parent)
The problem is that my TabBar hides a part of my UIScrollView (and my tableviews as well, but that's not important). I tried manipulating the scrollview content size and the view frame size but with no luck.
So far the best I could do was to add a 60px padding on the scrollview's content size like this:
[scrollView setContentSize:CGSizeMake(self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height+60)];
Thanks for your help!
Sounds like you may have to make sure your scrollView's frame is set properly first. The contentSize will determine the dimensions of the content of the scrollView. In other words how far you can scroll in each direction. Take a look at the scrollView in your nib and make sure the frame is the right size you need to fill.
When I push a UIViewController within a UINavigationController, the UIScrollView in the view changes dimensions. Now even I am trying to resize the UIScrollView. It wont simply resize. It maintains the framework dimensions. Any idea why this would be happening.
Example:
My NIB has a view which has a scrollview with dimensions (320, 430)
now when I push the UIViewController associated with the view the scrollview still shows dimensions has 320, 430, but is drawn much smaller then 320,430 alt text http://img717.imageshack.us/img717/6554/screenve.png
Any suggestions in this regard.
This was happening because of the autosizing mask property of the view i created programmatically was set. Resetting the flag solved the problem.
