I wanted to generate one fix view using interface builder, but the size of that view is exceeding the size of iphone screen,and I am not able to maximize screen. I wanted to show table view in that screen.
I did enabled scrolling but that didn't work,
Update 1:
Actually I wanted to show thumbnail image inside cell and i want to show 5 cell so 5 thumbnail image,those images are static. So which is a better way to achieve this ,interface builder or programming?
Hope this is clear enough.
Your question is not terribly clear, so this is the question that I am attempting to answer here:
You want to have a table view which has five rows, each of which has a small image.
Short answer: you can't do this entirely in the Interface Builder. What you can do is define your table view, including the "look," scrolling abilities, etc. And then in the same XIB file you would define the table cells (which can include your pictures, captions and what have you).
You then have to connect the two together programatically. Apple provide plenty of examples in the SDK on how to do this.

i am just developing some simple app which show the periodic table but my problem is how can i achieve the periodic table like layout in my iPhone app in just landscape format.
i have tried to search some CustomGridLayout sdk for IOS but not suitable for me
have goggled the things but not succeeded
following is the reference of periodic table layout which i want to implement
There is a couple way to do this:
1) You may use UICollectionView with custom cell. for this.With cell size equal element cell. But you will hit a several problem here: Some cells should be disabled, and customized in non standard way. In this case section is not useful for you. Overlay button in top on collection view may be difficult to positioning in storyboard.
2) You can use UIContainerView with totally custom view and colors. Dynamically added to custom row and column. This ofc have some flaws. Harder to build layout in storyboard (compared to (1) solution), memory management issues.
I'm an iOS developer looking for a solution to a tricky problem.
I need to create a grid view/ mosaic view to layout cells of different sizes (both width and height).
I basically need the functionality of a GMGridView, with horizontal scrolling/paging, the ability to edit, and drag cells to new locations, thus rearranging the entire grid view. I've looked at all of the current open source grid views out there, and found none with variable sized cells.
One solution I have thought about is 2 tableviews both rotated for the horizontal scrolling, and then intercept some UITableView scrolling methods, to then scroll the other tableview together. This is not ideal, as I will be unable to move a cell from one view to another, and I'm not sure how happy apple will be about it.
I also know of some possible (confidential?) support for this coming in the next version of iOS, but would like to keep my app supporting previous versions of iOS.
Thanks for any insight you can provide.

GridViews on iOS are a pain. Fortunately Apple is coming up with UICollectionViews that are optimized to build grids. This is coming in iOS6 and it's still under NDA so check out the documentation on Apple's website for more information.
The question you need to solve now is whether you want iOS5 retro-compatibility or not
I've been searching the internet for quite some time and didn't find anything useful.
I want to make a basic app for the iPhone using simple views and hierarchical data nothing too fancy. The only problem is that I can't seem to find any tutorial that makes the first/main view like a thumbnail gallery that leads to other views.
To clear it a bit up:
I want my first view to be a 2D array of thumbnails and a little text below each of these thumbnails. When I click on a thumbnail it takes me to a sub-view containing more detailed info and options.
So is there any relatively painless way to make something like this using Table Views or something like that or do I have to make a custom view with methods to populate it as my heart pleases.
Please take note that I want to avoid any third party libraries like Three20 or similar.
Thanks
Just to make sure I understand, you want to make an application that acts similar to the Contacts on the iPhone? In other words, a list that when an item is clicked will take you to a new view with detailed information about the clicked item? But in your case, you want an image next to/above the text?
In either case, you will want to use a tableView. If you want an image beside the text, just set the imageView.image property of the cell to a corresponding image. If you want a different layout, however, you will need to create your own custom UITableViewCell, which is not a hard task at all. Here is a tutorial on how to create a custom cell using IB. It can also be done programmatically if you prefer to do it that way. I hope this helps to solve your problem.
In reference to my previous question, I would like to know how to implement a large grid of cells in an iPhone application.
I'm working on an interface which would be similar to an Excel spreadsheet, with many rows and columns. Do I have to handle each cell separately? How can I handle user interaction in each cell?
Is there a standard way to create this type of control?
There is no real standard mechanism.
If all of the cells in a given row will always fit in the width of the screen, one way to do it would be to create a UITableViewCell with several UILabels and vertical separators between them. If all of these rows had "columns" of the same width, you would get the appearance of a grid.
If that isn't possible, it might be helpful to think about what the table view control truly is. A table view is just a scroll view that automatically adds, removes, and recycles its subviews so that only the ones that are visible at a given time are in memory. There is no reason you could not write a GridView control that did the same thing, but in two dimensions. It wouldn't be as easy as using the built-in table view, of course, but if the table view can't do what you need, well, that's why Apple isn't writing all the apps.
Sounds like the exact thing that UICollectionView was made for!
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/UIKit/Reference/UICollectionView_class/Reference/Reference.html
Look at my answer to this question: MS Excel type spreadsheet creation using objective-c for iOS app.
Basically there's no standard way to do this. You will need to made everything by hand and there's 3 ways to go:
Use a UIWebView and layout everything using html/js.
Modify a UICollectionView.
Make everything by hand using Core Data.
I have a probaly large list of images and want something like the photo app but with custom toolbar.
I wonder how do this. I see the sample of Apple http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/samplecode/Scrolling/index.html but that not will work for a large set of images.
I have a product list and some of my customer need download as much as 12,000 products in the device (I have a solution for the PocketPC I'm porting to iPhone).
In this thread How make a view of thumbnails in landscape mode? somebody suggest is possible use a TableView, but then I'm not sure... mainly how hide the section caption then could be...
UPDATED correct the link
The "Scrolling" demo won't work as-is for a large image set, but some minor adjustments can easily fix that. The trick is to use UIScrollView delegate methods to load images on demand and then unload them after they disappear. For decent performance you'd want the central image and one or two on either side to be loaded-- meaning that you can extend that design to support as many images as you like but still never have more than 3-5 in memory at a time.
The Stackoverflow link you post doesn't actually mention table views, so I'm not sure what approach you have in mind there. If by "section caption" you're referring to section header and/or footer text, then just don't provide any. Table views don't have a default for this, so if you don't give one to a table view then it won't show one.
