I'm having an issue with UITableViewController's tableView changing its frame position when presented from a UITabBarController, within a UINavigationController. The frame is fine when displayed from a regular tab. However, if I move and show the UITableViewController from the 'More' Section, the tableview moves down the same height as the navigation bar (which I don't want it to). When I tested the runtime frame coordinates between proper and nonproper positions, it shows as the same (0.0, 0.0, 320.0, 411.0).
This issue only happens AFTER I've shown the tableView in one Nav Controller and then it's moved and shown in another, like the 'More' VC to the tab, or tab to the 'More' VC
What's going on here and how can I fix this?
The last image is how it looks like when the app launch, as it should be, with he table view right below the nav bar. In the first two however, you can see that the tableview has been moved down.
Thanks in advance!
I was able to solve the issue. It turns out that when you move a UITableView controller within a UINavigationController to the moreNavigationController, 44 pixels are added to the 'top' variables of contentInset and scrollIndicatorInsets. I'm not sure why this is happening or why those 44 pixels aren't being removed when the tableView leaves the 'moreNavigationController', but here's the answer. I'm calling these two lines from within viewWillAppear.
self.tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(44.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
self.tableView.scrollIndicatorInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(44.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
The UITableViewController has this behaviour that it always try to best fit the screen size. UITableViewController is perfect for fullscreen tableview but otherwize I recommend not using the UITableViewController but instead implement a tableViewControler yourself by implementing both the datasource and delegate. Some did set resizeSubViews to NO and solve their problem but I really advice recreate the controller yourself which is not that much work.
Reset autosizing property of table view nib file.
You can find it inside :
Tool>Attribute Inspector
First take a UITableView in the view using XIB. Then add navigation bar and resize the tableview. You will get what do you actually want.
If you still find any problem then please let me know.
If you can display your code, or take a screenshot of your setup, it would be a lot easier. From my experience, creating UITableViewController instances and hooking them up in Interface Builder will expand to fill the screen.
How are you connecting it to the "More" tab? If it's in two tabs, and you're doing ANYTHING dynamic, check your UITableViewController class viewDidLoad method. You shouldn't have to add / delete / re-add the table unless they're separate instances.
Some places to check:
NSLog your tableHeaderView height and position
NSLog your tableFooterView height and position
Create a backgroundView and assign it to the tableView's backgroundView property to see what it's true dimensions are and where it's being displayed
Check where the UITableViewController's view starting position is.
Wish I could help more. Would like to see your setup / code.

So I have a UITableView. Its dataSource is an NSArray of custom objects beeing loaded after a search. When I scroll to bottom, everything works fine, the scrollIndicator scrolls to bottom as desired.
Now when I scroll back to top the scrollIndicator stops about 50pixel below my UINavigationbar.
I have no idea why this behaviour occurs only in this tableViewController, since my UITabBarController consists of 5 UITableViewcontrollers each inheriting from the same super class.
Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance :)
EDIT:
Putting the following code in viewWillAppear:
self.tableView.scrollIndicatorInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, 0, 0);
Solved the issue. Although I still don't know why this issue only occurs in one of the five tableViewControllers...
It looks like you might have set the scrollIndicatorInsets property of the scroll view wrongly. It might be the same for both bottom and top. Set it so that that you only have the margin for bottom.
i.e
use UIEdgeInsetMake( <top> , <left>,<bottom>,<right>); for this. i.e for your case
yourScrollView.scrollIndicatorInsets = UIEdgeInsetMake(0, 0,bottomInset,0); //Here bottom inset would be the value you have right now .
As UITableView's superclass is UIScrollView, its better to set UIScrollView's scrollIndicatorInsets property to required position.
I have a xib tableview controller and i can't get the size of the table view to shrink so that i may add additional things before the view(I would like to add some buttons). I try changing the frame in viewdidload and viewwillappear but nothing seams so work. I am using
self.tableView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 100, 320, 200);
but the view remains in place(just under the navigation bar). What am I doing wrong?
Why dont you resize in the xib tableView itself? What's preventing you to do that?
EDIT: Why cant you change the height in xib or x and y coordinates? Attaches image should help you do this easily in IB - (make sure to select your tableView and open the right hand sidebar to get this menu. Once right sidebar opens goto - Size Inspector & here you can do this.
I had the same problem and i realized that my tableView was inside another TableView with its own x and y (so probably i was not able to change it). So you have to make sure that your TableView is a subview of your view or is your main view
Use a UIViewController, drag and drop a UITableView in it, resize as per your wish and there you've got what you were looking for.
I'm really scratching my head over this one: When I make visible the Toolbar of the navcontroller in my view hierarchy, strange black bars appear at the top and bottom of the table view. http://grab.by/8pgz
The app is universal, and on the iPhone simulator (or device) this does not show up, although they use the same UITableViewController subclass.
I cannot even figure out what the extra bars are, which makes it even harder to come up with a solution.
They are, however, not navbar / toolbar. They are not section or table view header / footer. It does not merely seem to be a resizing of the table view either, since its background is not black.
The custom table view controller sits inside a UINavigationController, which in turn is inside a UISplitViewController. Pretty standard, as far as I understand.
Like said, they do not show up on the phone - nor do they appear in the popover in portrait orientation.
I'm really out of clues here. Any suggestions would be most welcome.
Cheers,

Update: Problem solved by moving the code for making toolbar visible to -(void)awakeFromNib method instead of -(void)viewDidLoad. Still don't know what went wrong, but now at least it works.
I believe there is a problem with the frame you're trying to use to initialize the tableView.
myTableView = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, height, width);
Try changing the height width variables in code, to reflect your height & width on the iPad.
I have a TabBarController, one of the tabs of which contains a sub view which is a navigationController. I am then loading into the navigation controller a view which inherits form UITableViewController.
My problem is thta for some reason the table view starts behing the navigation controller, not the top of the screen but about half way down the navigation bar, hence the top of the first cell in the table view is cut off.
Can anyone suggest how to move the UITableViewController down?
Fix it programmatically:
- (void)viewDidLoad {
UIEdgeInsets inset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(20, 0, 0, 0);
self.tableView.contentInset = inset;
}
This "tucked in behind the Navigation bar" issue is due to iOS 7 using fullscreen layout automatically. See the iOS 7 Transition Guide.
It's a bit devious since it displays as in iOS 6 in the Simulator (layout-wise; ie. not tucked in behind).
Is your navigation bar translucent? Mine was, and setting it to non-translucent fixes it on Iphone iOS 6, iPhone iOS 7, and Simulator 7.0 building with XCode 5. (In my case I set it to translucent for visual appearance.)
You can set the frame of the UITableView to an explicit X,Y position by setting the frame property on the view. Or you can change the same property using interface builder depending on whether you've added the tableview via IB or in code.
eg.
myTable.frame = CGRectMake(0.0, myTable.frame.origin.y + NAV_BAR_HEIGHT, myTable.frame.size.width, myTable.frame.size.height);
This will position the table myTable (which is a pointer to the UITableView) below the navigation bar, you may also need to adjust the height of the table accordingly. The height of the nav bar which I am indicating with a constant is 44.0.
I typically do this type of view adjustment if it has been necessary in the viewWillAppear of the view controller responsible. It's not common that you'll need to make this type of adjustment so it may be something you can fix by changing the way your views are being setup.
Without more details of how your view is setup it's hard to be more specific.
Is it possible to resize the UITableView on the RootController of a nav based app? When RootViewController.xib is opened in IB, there isn't a view. Just the UITableView. Clicking the inspector and then the little yellow ruler, frame height is grayed out. I'm adding a toolbar programmatically to the RootViewController:
[toolbar setFrame:rectArea];
That works fine but the bottom cell in the tableview is partially hidden because the tableview doesn't know about the toolbar.
The easiest way, is to adjust the contentInset (which is inherited from UIScrollView). Resizing by setting the frame can cause crazy drawing bugs in cells.
For example, if you are trying to resize a tableview for the keyboard, do something like this:
tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0.0, 0.0, 216.0, 0.0);
tableView.scrollIndicatorInsets = tableView.contentInset;
Hope that helps someone. This way worked best for me.
Yes, but you need to have a ViewController (not a UITableViewController) as the root controller for the nav, and wrap the actual UITableView in the UIViewControllers view.
You can still have the UIViewController conform to the UITableViewDelgate and Datasource protocols, and use all the same methods you have now in your UITableViewController.
P.S. you'll get more responses if you use the plain "iphone" tag.
You could also just set the Content and Scroller inset of the tableview
I encountered a similar issue when attempting to display the detail controller by itself, see: http://vimeo.com/13054813
The issue is that the SplitView controller applies its own transform to the sub-controllers, taking them out of the orientation detection loop, which blows goats and seems incredibly 'hackish' for built-in classes. (The video illustrates what happens when you make the detail view the root view, then add it back to the split view and make the split view root while in landscape; you get double rotation of the detail view.)
Unfortunately I've again run into these transformation issues while attempting to resize a SplitViewController's detail sub-view in response to the keyboard appearing/disappearing. In portrait, all works fine, in landscape it's fscked.
Yes, adjust the contentInset and scrollIndicatorInsets are the convenient way to resize the UITableView.
As the answer of Sam Soffes posted, I succeed resize UITableView in UITableViewController for the bottom UIToolbar.
