programmatically added tablview's scroll disabled - iphone

I added tableview to scrollview programmatically but it is not scrolling. While i tried the same using XIB. but it is working fine.
here is my code
CGRect frame = CGRectMake(30, 30.0f, 900, 300.0f);
eappTable = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame] style:UITableViewStylePlain];
eappTable.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight|UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth;
eappTable.delegate = self;
eappTable.dataSource = self;
eappTable.scrollEnabled = YES;
eappTable.scrollsToTop = YES;
[eappTable reloadData];
[scrollView addSubview:eappTable];

eappTable = [[UITableView alloc] nitWithFrame:YourSize style:Table_Style]];
eappTable.delegate = self;
eappTable.dataSource = self;
eappTable.scrollEnabled = YES;
[scrollView addSubview:eappTable];
And set self.scrollView.contentSize

You have to set the Content Size of ScrollView.
Hope it Helps !!!

Try to enable bouncing (because if all cells size are smaller than the uitableview size it self, it won't scroll if bounce is set to NO) :
eappTable.bounces = YES;

[eappTable setContentSize:CGSizeMake(320, 680)];

I know this is not the answer you are looking for. But I would like to mention one point :
Never add tableview as the subview of your scrollview.
Important: You should not embed UIWebView or UITableView objects
in UIScrollView objects. If you do so, unexpected behavior can
result because touch events for the two objects can be mixed up and
wrongly handled.

The right way to implement loadView?

I have a question regarding the implementation of loadView:
Right now, I have it like this:
- (void)loadView
{
image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"plan.gif"];
scrollView=[[UIScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame]];
imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:
CGRectMake(0, 0,scrollView.frame.size.width + 40, scrollView.frame.size.height)];
imageView.image = image;
[imageView setContentMode:UIViewContentModeCenter];
scrollView.contentSize = image.size;
scrollView.maximumZoomScale = 3.0;
scrollView.bounces = NO;
scrollView.delegate = self;
// do any further configuration to the scroll view
// add a view, or views, as a subview of the scroll view.
[scrollView addSubview:imageView];
// release scrollView as self.view retains it
self.view=scrollView;
[scrollView release];
}
I suppose some of it should be in viewDidLoad:?
Thanks in advance.
This seems fine to me.
viewDidLoad is normally used as your hook after getting a view returned from IB. In this case you are essentially just doing the work of IB in code (setting up the view heirachy and configuring it).
Therefore in this case I think splitting out the logic may be superfluous unless it makes your code more readable.

UITableView implementation "how to" (like in twitter app for iphone)

I was about to implement a table view behavior like the one used in a certain part of the twitter app for iPhone, precisely I'm talking about the tableview shown when, in a geolocalized tweet, I tap on the location displayed under the tweet. . .here's some pictures just to give it a look:
as you can see the table view has a background beneath (actually the map), but it is not just a background UIView (or Mapview) because the table view pulls it up and down with herself if the scrolling is about to "bounce". . .and it is certainly not a section header/footer, because the table floats on it. . .so, do you have any ideas on how to implement that table view? Could it be a webview?
edit: I found a solution and posted it down
just add the tableview and the mapview to a scrollview and you should be all set.
//CREATE THE SCROLL VIEW
scrollView = [[UIScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 300)];
scrollView.delegate = self;
scrollView.backgroundColor = [UIColor grayColor];
scrollView.contentSize = CGSizeMake(320, 650);
//ADDING TABLE VIEW
CGRect cgRct = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 600);
tblSimpleTable = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:cgRct style:UITableViewStyleGrouped];
tblSimpleTable.delegate = self;
tblSimpleTable.dataSource = self;
[scrollView addSubview:tblSimpleTable];
//ADDING MAP VIEW
myMap = [[MKMapView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 50)];
myMap.delegate = self;
[scrollView addSubview:myMap];
self.view = scrollView;
Maybe you can use UIView animations.
You add a mapview at the same height as your table view but with its alpha set to 0 in interface builder.
After that you can do as follow in your IBAction method:
[UIView beginAnimations:#"displayMapView" context:nil];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.3];
mapview.alpha = 1;
CGRect tableviewFrame = tableview.frame;
tableview.origin.y += 200; // Height of your map view
tableview.frame = tableviewFrame;
[UIView commitAnimations];
This should do it !
Or you can try somthing like this in your (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath:
IWebView* webView = [[UISynchedWebView alloc] initWithFrame:
CGRectMake(0, 0, cell.bounds.size.width, cell.bounds.size.height)];
webView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight|UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth;
webView.tag = 1001;
webView.userInteractionEnabled = NO;
webView.delegate = self;
[cell addSubview:webView];
And load a Google Maps request or maybe put directly your mapview in your cell, haven't tried that.
Take a look at three20 library.
http://three20.info
and download source code from github at https://github.com/facebook/three20
In this framework there is a class named TTTableViewController that implement TTTableViewDragRefreshDelegate.
More, there an example application TTTwitter that use this class!
You can start from that and subclass to implement all features you need!
Ok I just figured it out. . .it was easy as hell. . .and was all about playing with the tableview first row, that has to be hidden to show the underlaying image, and the scrollview delegate that has to drag down with the tableview the underlying image when the dragging direction is down. . .here is the xcode project for you to give it a try :)

Expedia app sectionIndex: how they do that?

I noticed that Expedia app ( http://a5.mzstatic.com/us/r1000/027/Purple/4c/f4/6c/mzl.wcipbyyg.320x480-75.jpg) has a customized sectionIndex for UITableView on hotels list. (image attached)
I'm figuring that it could be a custom view, maybe with a vertical UISlider but, as I know, UISlider cannot recognize touch events on slides but just dragging ones.
So, how they do that ? A vertical sequence of buttons ? But, in this case, how to recognize dragging events ?
I would like to replicate that control but I need some hints ;)
thanks
There are more ways how to achieve the effect. Assuming you have a self.view initialized from a nib file and it's ordinary UIView, you can put this code into viewDidLoad:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
CGRect tvFrame = self.view.frame;
tvFrame.origin = CGPointZero;
UITableView* tv = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.frame];
tv.delegate = self;
tv.dataSource = self;
tv.showsVerticalScrollIndicator = NO;
[self.view addSubview:tv];
CGRect svFrame = CGRectMake(290, 10, 30, 400);
UIScrollView* sv = [[UIScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:svFrame];
sv.contentSize = CGSizeMake(10, 780);
sv.showsVerticalScrollIndicator = NO;
sv.bounces = YES;
CGRect vFrame = CGRectMake(10, 380, 10, 20);
UIView* v = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:vFrame];
v.backgroundColor = [UIColor blueColor];
[sv addSubview:v];
[self.view addSubview:sv];
[super viewDidLoad];
}
This will create a table with a narrow scroll view with a blue rectangle over the table. Now you can scroll both scroll views (the table is also a scroll view) independently.
Then you will have to setup delegates and receive scroll events via UIScrollViewDelegate. When one of the scroll views starts dragging, you have to start setting offset of the other scroll view.

Why is my UITableView not occupying the bounds of the screen?

I'm building a UITableView programmatically without NIB files here. I'm doing something silly however, as my navigationBar shows up fine, as does my UITableView. However, the UITableView is not properly fitting onto the screen. You'll see roughly 20 pixels separating the UINavigationBar and the UITableView. I set my window's backgroundColor to black, as you can see in this screen shot:
Here's the code to reproduce the problem:
- (void)loadView
{
[super loadView];
// TableViews that wish to utilize tableView footers/headers should override this method.
UITableView *aTableView = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame] style:UITableViewStylePlain];
aTableView.autoresizingMask = (UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth|UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight);
aTableView.separatorStyle = UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleSingleLine;
aTableView.delegate = self;
aTableView.dataSource = dataSource;
self.tableView = aTableView;
[self.view addSubview:self.tableView];
[aTableView release];
// style navigation bar.
//self.navigationController.navigationBar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlackOpaque;
}
use bounds instead of applicationFrame

Why does my UIToolBar scroll with my UITableView?

I'm having a bit of difficulty trying to build my view. Everything works out great up to the point where I need to insert a UIToolBar into my view. The tableView is placed where I expected it to be placed. The UIToolBar on the other hand, scrolls up and down with the table, it doesn't remain fixed as it should. It also looks rather odd when put on the screen -- I'm guessing because the calculation to place it isn't right? Attached to this question is a screenshot as well as the code I've used to build this. Thanks for your help in spotting out what I'm doing incorrect. Screenshot: http://dl-web.dropbox.com/u/57676/screenshots/broketoolbar.png
The code:
- (void)loadView
{
[super loadView];
// TableViews that wish to utilize tableView footers/headers should override this method.
UITableView *aTableView = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame] style:UITableViewStylePlain];
aTableView.autoresizingMask = (UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth|UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight);
aTableView.separatorStyle = UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleSingleLine;
aTableView.delegate = self;
aTableView.dataSource = dataSource;
self.tableView = aTableView;
self.view = tableView;
[aTableView release];
UIToolbar *toolbar = [UIToolbar new];
[toolbar setBarStyle:UIBarStyleBlackOpaque];
[toolbar sizeToFit];
CGFloat toolbarHeight = [toolbar frame].size.height;
CGRect mainViewBounds = self.view.bounds;
[toolbar setFrame:CGRectMake(CGRectGetMinX(mainViewBounds),
CGRectGetMinY(mainViewBounds) + CGRectGetHeight(mainViewBounds) - (toolbarHeight * 2.0),
CGRectGetWidth(mainViewBounds),
toolbarHeight)];
[self.view insertSubview:toolbar aboveSubview:self.tableView];
[toolbar release];
}
because self.view is tableView onto which you added toolbar.
