iPhone: Make UIScrollView from UIView - iphone

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

Moving UIButton from UIScrollView to UIView in iPhone SDK

I am stuck with a problem actually the scene is like this in my view controller i have place several buttons which i can move within the view now in same view half of the screens is occupied by uiscrollview in this scrollview also i have several uibuttons which i want to move from uiscrollview to uiview Now when i try to move uibutton from uiscrollview to uiview it hides as it moves from the scrollview similarly as i move uibutton from uiview to uiscrollview then also it hides as my drag reaches the scrollview area.
Please help me out with this problem
Thanks in advance....
Your UIButtons each have a superview. For the UIButtons in the scrollview, the UIScrollView is the superview. When you have scrollView.clipsToBounds == YES, then the UIButtons in the scrollview will become obscured if you move them outside of the visible area of the scrollview.
There are several possible solutions, including:
Add code to change the superview of the UIButtons once they reach the edge of the scrollview (but this is tricky, and I wouldn't do it unless there was an easier option, check out Apple's UIView documentation, especially (UIView)removeFromSuperview and (UIView)addSubview:). You would have to perform this switch of superview in the code that moves the button (or tracks the move).
Add the UIButtons to a UIView which is the parent of the scrollview, maybe even your viewcontroller.view (but your UIButtons in the scrollview will no longer move with the scrollview upon scrolling). You would add the buttons to the view behind the scrollview, but so that they show above it.

Setting static content in a UIScrollView through XIB

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

iPhone : TabBar overlaps above UIScrollView

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.

Resizing content in a UIScrollView

I am creating a scrollview programmatically and adding subviews to it programmatically. The subviews are created programmatically as well.
I am just wondering how to rotate / resize the subview so that it remains visible in landscape mode.
I have set the scrollview to autorotateSubviews:YES and in my subview i have set the mask to be flexiblewidth|flexibleheight is this correct?
I am used to doing this in IB with the springs and struts section of the inspector.
Thanks
Your scroll view is probably contained in a view witha corresponding controller that receives willAnimateRotationToInterfaceOrientation:duration: and didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation: notifications. Use these opportunities to resize the subviews of the scrollview.

Prevent subview from scrolling in a UIScrollView

I have a UIScrollView subclass with a certain subview I'd like to prevent from scrolling (while all the other subviews scroll as normal).
The closest example to this I can think of is UITableView's "index strip" on the right side (look in the Contacts app to see an example). I am guessing this is a subview of the table (scrollview) but it does not move as the user scrolls.
I can't seem to make my subview stay put! How can I accomplish this?
The trick is to adjust the frame of the "non-scrollable" subview inside -layoutSubviews.
Add the view that you want not to move as a sibling view of the scroll view on top of the scroll view instead of as a subview.
You can set it's property called userInteractionEnabled to NO
