I'm writing my first iphone app and through several examples I've got a UITableView which is displaying some records from an sqlite db. I placed the element through IB and then had to set it's height inside of my view controller, in the viewDidLoad method:
self.tableView.frame = CGRectMake(0,150,320,300);
While the positioning appears to be working properly, a text field, button and label I originally had on the page are now being covered by a white area. Am I not positioning this table properly?
They're all within the same view - do I need to use multiple views?
Here is what the running app looks like: http://tinypic.com/r/2n7qj35/5
Here is what the IB view looks like: (before the table was ever added, the text/button stuff showed up just fine): http://tinypic.com/r/1491kw4/5
You'll need to resize the tableView or move the other objects ( a text field, button and label ) around to accommodate the tableView.

I'm developing an app and I need a view with these elements:
- UITableView
- UITextField and UIButton
- TabBar
As you can guess, I am developing a chat, but when I put the elements in the .xib, I can't show de layer: UITextField and UIButton. If I put them without a view, they dont appear.
If I put a view under the table, and in that view I put the text and the button I get this error: http://pastebin.com/CKfxijz9 (I put the error there because it's to long)
Thanks in advance
There are some ways of dealing with that, depending on how it should behave. Some of them are:
Provide a table footer or header view that holds the button and
the text field.
Nest the table view into another view. The table
view and the view containing the button and text fielt are on the
same level within the view hierarchy. They are rather siblings than
sub- and superview to each other.
Use a UISlider instead of a table. (However, I personally would use the table.)
Here's an approach I've used in the past (not sure if it's best practice, but it works).
Add your button and textfield to a new view (let's call it, bottomView)
Add bottomView to the superview of your tableview
Set the frame of your bottom view so that it fits to the bottom of the screen (this will make it so your tableview will scroll, but keep your bottomView always attached to the bottom of your mainview)
I am making an iPhone App.
I have used table view in some View Controller.
In iPhone it is scrolling Ok.
I have converted the app to the iPad and autoresized the table view via IB and changed the size of CELL.
It is not showing me the last cell and giving me a jerky feel so I could not select it.
I don not know where I am going wrong?
Actually It is a problem of resizing autoresizing.
In my case
Table view is showing the correct result now.
You can see below tabe view I have used Image view, so by autoresizing property (IB) some part of the table hides below the Imageview because of extra stretching.
Otherwise table view is working perfectly well.s
I am creating a grouped table with two sections.In the first section i have 5 cells and in the second section i have two buttons in the lass cell of it.
I have created labels and buttons on each of the cells in the first section and the labels are populated dynamically by the values selected in the previous screen.
Everything works fine as expected,except the borders of the table view gets ruined,it looks like half drawn and incomplete.When i make the table view to scroll up and when its back in the original position,the top borders are spoiled and when i scroll to the bottom the lower borders of the group gets affected making them incomplete.
I am setting the label's and button's attributes in each of cell after initializing them in the viewDidLoad method.
Please suggest me an idea to solve this issue.
Thank you one and all
I am setting the label's and button's attributes in each of cell after
initializing them in the viewDidLoad method.
This is incorrect. You should save the texts for the labels & buttons in a model class & set them in the cellForRowAtIndexPath: method. As, you are not doing this in the aforementioned method, your cell is redrawn when you scroll and the texts are nullified.
I'm looking for a clean way to implement a login screen in my iPhone application. I'd like it to appear as a grouped UITableView section with rounded corners and a separator line below between rows (like e.g. the sections in the Settings app). However, I'd like to give it a slightly smaller cornerRadius than the default setting of a UITableView section.
Another thing I'd like to do in that screen is to add a "register as new user" button which causes the whole screen to slide up, presenting the registration screen. There will be a background image that spans both screens vertically and should slide up with together with the content.
I was first thinking to just make a UITableView, set it to grouped, add two sections (one for login and one for registration), add some space between them and disable manual scrolling on the UITableView. However, I found that putting a background image correctly behind a UITableView and to make that scroll together with its content is a bit tricky..
Perhaps I shouldn't be using a UITableView and just write some code myself that can wrap multiple views (each containing a label and a textfield) together into something that appears like a UITableView section? I've been searching around but surprisingly it appears that not too many others are trying to solve this same problem.
Any suggestions would be very welcome!
Sounds like a UITableView is overkill for what you need. I would just create a custom UIViewController and have it handle the layout of all of your subviews as well as any animation you desire.
Just have the parent view take up more space than the device's screen. Then, when you want everything to slide up, animate a change to that view's frame property.
I have a UITableView as a subview in a ScrollView with other widgets around like a button. I'd like to put the button always at the end of the ScrollView and I'd like to have the UITableView to show dynamically more section. How and where shall I determine the Table size, correctly set it and visualize it?
From Interface Builder it seems that I can only set static size to the TableView (which of course limits the number of sections visible) and stick the button position to the bottom whether a rotation happens.
If you have only few simple controls after the table then I'd suggest putting them to the table itself and get rid of the unhealthy (in my opinion) combination of table view inside scroll view.
You might add the button you are talking about to the table's footer.
It may be done in the Interface Builder (drag-n-drop the button to the bottom of the table view) or in the code ([tableView setTableFooterView:myButton];).
If your button should be smaller that table's width then put it inside UIView and locate as you need.
You can also add table header in a similar way...
