I have two view controllers myViewControllerA and myViewControllerB.
myViewControllerA has modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal.
Then I call presentModalViewController:animated: to load myViewControllerB. After calling dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:, suddenly all the views of myViewControllerA display shifted up by the height of the status bar.When I repeat the process, the views of myViewControllerA display properly once more.
So, the problems appears only upon the first call of the modal view controller. After dismissing and calling it again everything looks fine again.
What can cause this?
I know this is an old question, but it could still be helpful to someone.
The solution is so simple, its easy to pass it.
When you remove the simulated status bar of that view in Interface Builder, the frame still has a height of 460 (it should be 480, the height of the iphone screen)
Go to the Size tab (ruler icon), in the Attributes inspector, and set the frame to 480 again.

I've got this simple problem that is really making me crazy.
I've got a navigation controller, the root view controller is a VC that has a view that should be presented without displaying the navigation bar. To achieve that I've set the navigationBarHidden property of the navigationController bar to YES in the -viewWillAppear: method, inside the rootVC.
To display it again I've set in the -viewWillDisappear: method of the rootVC the same property to NO.
If I ask the view its frame.size it will answer correctly 320 width and 460 height.
When I push another view (I can see navbar appear) if I ask the view for its size it says me that is 320x460 and this wrong it should tell me something like 320x416.
If I push another view and ask for its size now I get the correct size 320x416. If now I pop pressing back I get again the correct size.
The fact is that the "middle" view is overlapped for 44 points by the navigation bar and I'm not able to make it the correct size except for hardcoding its size and I don't want.
The view autoresizing mask is blocked by IB because is the one of the file's owner. The status bar style is blck opaque.
Do you have some hints for me?
THX,

Try setting the property to YES in the second view instead of the first view.
I am facing few problems while using tabBar with navigation controllers.Each tabBar item is associated with a separate navigation controller.Problems are listed as follows:
1.There are more than five tabBar items in my tabBar so a more tabBar item comes by default.Now when i tap the more tabBar item the remaining items come in a tableview which is actually the view of a navigation controller(which comes by default).Now when i select any of the row, my new view controller gets pushed into that navigation controller.I want my view controller to be the navigation controller.So there is a situation like pushing a navigation controller onto the sack of another navigation controller.The compiler gets confused and it does nothing.
2.Although I have set autoresizing of each controller of tab bar controller nothing happens on rotating the device.However when I keep only five or less tabBar items,autoresizing works perfectly.
3.I want an ImagView at the top throughout the application, so I attached an imageview on the window itself and than increases the y-coordinate of the tabBar controller's view so that the navigation bar of each tabBar controller's view starts just below the imageview.Everything is fine for the portrait mode but as soon as i rotate the device the imageview dissappears.And when i again come to portrait mode the imageview does not appear and the tabBar controller's view starts from the top.
I tried it every ways(like tabBar instead of tabBar controller etc.) but fail to achieve anything helpful.
I've never heard of that problem before. Can you paste some code? Also, are you sure that the tabs on the view more page work correctly?
In order for a TBC to rotate, all of the root view controllers of each tab must support rotation. In each of those files make sure shouldRotateToInterfaceOrientation: returns YES for all orientations (if you're using the default iPhone VC template take out the if(interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait) statement and associated brackets).
I've actually done this before, and trust me when I say you're opening up a can of worms. To achieve this you need to add the TBC as a subview of a view that has an imageview on top. You must manually set the TBC.view frame to not cover up the top image. The best way to do this is: in the .xib for the container file, add an image view up top, and under it another view. Connect the view to the code via an IBOutlet, and set that frame as the TBC.view.frame. Then add the TBC.view as a subview programmatically.
With this solution, however, you must add in a willRotateToInterfaceOrientation:duration: method that calls the same function in all the TBC's viewcontrollers, and all of those viewcontrollers must be navigation delegates that call viewWillAppear: and viewDisappear: manually. The rotation is also a bit "sticky" when you do this, so beware.
My suggestion: don't put a static image up top. It causes a lot of issues, and takes up a lot of screen real estate, especially on the iPhone's smaller screen. Look at The Weather Channel app if you want to see how bad it looks.
Let me know if you have any more questions!
i need to shrink the height of a UINavigationBar (attached to the UINavigationController)
i've done this via the UINavigationControllerDelegate's navigationController:didShowViewController method, and it's working fine.
the problem is the visible viewcontroller that's in the main view. it wasn't resizing itself to reflect the new navbar height. thus, the didShowViewController method also resizes the viewcontroller's view frame, which works fine.
however, when i go to push on a new ViewController, or pop, i always see the view shift down to the original position during the animated transition to the next view. then, due to the code i have in the didShowViewController in the NavControllerDelegate, it shifts it back up.
i'm curious as to the best way to ensure that the shift down never happens.
i tried placing the code that resizes the frame into the willShowViewController, but that doesn't do anything.
i've also made sure that the UIView's frame that is the view of the UIViewController that's being popped, is also of the proper/shifted dimensions. no go there.
it's like i need to intercept the drawing actions after the pushViewController is invoked, and before the UINavigationController's didShowViewController is called.
i've been staring at my code for hours & hours... not getting anywhere. hopefully this makes sense to someone out there.
thanks!!!
Another option I think would be to set the NavigationControllers navigationBarHidden equal to YES. This will hide the nav bar completely and then you can then draw whatever view you want in the place the bar would have resided. Just put controls on the view that wrap the navigation methods (push, pop, etc...). It might be a challenge to get it to have the same style as a nav bar though.
I have a paged scrollview. Each page has a viewcontroller (buttonViewController) that manages a grid of buttons. If you press one of the buttons, the buttonViewController pops up another viewcontroller (detailViewController) modally.
The problem is, when I dismiss the modal view controller, the visible buttonViewController is shifted down by what looks like about 20 pixels. The weird thing is that only the visible page is shifted. If I scroll over to another page that is already loaded, it is still in the correct position.
My question is basically the same as dismissing modalViewController moves main view buttons around iphone
However, the accepted answer to that question assumed that the status bar is hidden. I am not hiding the status bar in my application.
Any other ideas?
One more note: The shift only happens the first time I launch a modal view controller. If I keep opening and closing the modal view controller, everything stays the same.
One further note: if I add the following code:
CGRect frame = self.view.frame;
frame.origin.y=0;
self.view.frame = frame;
after I dismiss the modal view controller, then I can work around the problem. The frame seems to move by 20pixels in y. I still don't know what's causing the move though.
Well I had this problem and it was due to the way my first viewController was set up (on the UIWindow), it is very weird since this had never happened to me before, the behavior I was observing was that when you add a subview at point (0,0) it would overlap with the status bar, which is not usual, usually the views know about the status bar and they behave appropriately. As a side effect, when one pushes a modal view that takes off the status bar, after dismissing it I saw the same problem you are seeing. What I did to fix was to set the UIWindows view to my controllers view in the nib, this seemed to fix everything. Once again I don't know why simply adding to the window programmatically with CGRectMake(0,0,320,460) had this odd behavior, since I have been doing this for all my previous projects and saw the correct behavior. But when I set it up in the nib, it worked as expected. Maybe this is your problem as well.
Turns out this was related to:
ModalViewController doesn't display during animation when paged scrollView is scrolled
I had mismatched the heights of some of my viewcontrollers, and that was throwing everything off.
Some of the views had heights of 460pixels, some had 480pixels. For some reason, this made it shift by 20pixels evertime a modal view controller disappeared. Once I made everything 460pixels, everything worked great.
My application has a paged scrollview. Each page of the scrollview has an instance of a view controller (buttonViewController) that shows a grid of buttons. If the user clicks on one of the buttons, buttonViewController launches a detailViewController modally, with animation set to YES.
If I'm viewing the first page (furthest left) or the scroll view, everything work's correctly. However, if I am scrolled to any of the other pages, the modal view animation (sliding up from the bottom in this case) doesn't appear. Instead, the whole view goes black for the same length of time that the animation would run for, and then the modal view controller appears fully displayed. The same thing happens when dismissing the modal view controller.
The code is completely standard. In my buttonViewController I call:
[self presentModalViewController:detailController animated:YES];
The same code runs no matter which page I'm looking at (though on different instances of buttonViewController of course.)
How would I start debugging this?
This might have to do with the frame of the detailController...When you are in a UIScrollView, the first page is between 0 and 320, however when you scroll that offset increments, so (assuming you have full screen pages) the next view will be 320 and 640, the next one will be in 640 and (640+320), and so on and so forth. So when you are setting up your detailController with frame CGRectMake(0,0,320,460), when you are in the first page, the animation will look fine, but when you are in any other page the animation will take place at (0,0) and then im guessing the viewcontroller sees this is not the active screen a nd moves the modal view controller to where the active screen is. If you initialize your frame like this CGRectMake(320*pageNumber,0,320,460) I think youll have the d esired behavior you are looking for. Let me know if this works im curious myself.
You need to insert a UIView (or any kind of view e.g. UIScrollView) under the view you are trying to animate, you will get the animation work correctly. I guess this is because you are providing a view that the animation is based on.
