I have a UIWebView displaying content of multiple pages in length.
The problem is this: a scroll bar never appears while the user is scrolling the content vertically (unlike in Safari, or in other apps using what appears to be UIWebView). I can't see any way to control this programmatically.
Behaviour is the same on iOS 3.1 through 4.2, on both iPhone and iPad, both device and simulator.
Anyone have any ideas?
Are you sure the WebView is not slightly bigger than its parent? If it's a bit too big the scroll bars might actually be there but off the screen.
[(UIScrollView*)[webview.subviews objectAtIndex:0] setShowsVerticalScrollIndicator:YES];

I have a view controller with some fixed labels, steppers etc. The layout looks fine in iPhone5, 6/6 plus, but when i try in iPhone4s the view just doesnt scroll down to show other content.
Should the scrollbar not appear automatically when the content does not fit in screen size?
Here is how the layout in iPhone 4s looks along with how it should actually look
It would be great if someone can help me identify why is the content not scrolling for iPhone4s
Thanks in advance
No, it should not scroll automatically. You need to embed your view into a scroll view or (better) use table view.
How would I go about making a browser window that has the same scrolling properties as Mobile Safari? If you scroll Mobile Safari the navigationbar up top follows with it. If there is no more content it stops scrolling, and it has a very special way of zooming. Mobile Safari has it, and now even Opera mini for iPhone has it. Any ideas? I have tried hooking in to the scrolldelegate of the UIWebView, but that's not perfect at all. I'm out of ideas. How have the Opera Mini guys solved this issue?
I haven't done this myself but it seems to me that you could create a holder view that has your a view handling the navigation and the UIWebView, this would be tucked into a UIScrollView to facilitate the scrolling and then in the UIScrollView delegate pass the UIWebView as the view for zooming in viewForZoomingInScrolView.
i am wondering how its possible to have an iphone nib that has some uitextfields and some labels to be automatically repotitioned if the device is an ipad. (i dont want a second nib) im trying to get my iphone nib to autoresize in the middle of the screen if the device is an ipad so that all the text fields and buttons arent placed in the top left corner. I tired using the autosizing masks however they wouldnt work for the textfield(im not sure why exactly the horizontal autoresize didnt work) is there any way i can do this without making a new nib if the device is an ipad?
thanks
I'm unsure if this would work, but you might try using a view that's the same size as the iPhone screen, set the autosize flags on that to keep it in the middle of the screen without stretching it, then put all of your views inside that view.
i create a new InputData.xib which has few text box which actually larger than iphone screen, but when i exe the app, text box which in beyond the iphone screen is hidden and i unable to scroll the screen, how this can resolve,
thanks
In general, the iPhone screen has a window that is of fixed size and position. All scrolling needs to be done with UIScrollView objects. UITextView is a subclass that works well for text. UITableView is for lists, like in the iPod app. UIScrollView itself can be used for anything else.
You should probably use a UITextView, rather than a UITextField. Make its bounds equal to the screen bounds; if there's more content than will fit, it will handle scrolling within it automatically.
I want to have a UIScrollView that scrolls less then the full screen so that it looks like the Safari app does when you go to make a new tab or look at all the tabs. What property would this be?
When viewing "tabs" in Mobile Safari each tab is a UIWebView placed in a paged UIScrollView. When you "zoom out" to switch between them a CGAffineTransform to reduce the scale of the web view is being applied.
