UITableView doesn't scroll down far enough

jordanclark1993 · July 2012

I have a UITableView and like it says in the title, I can't scroll down far enough to see all of the cells. Basically the whole app is an iPhone app, but I made it "Universal" so it upscales everything to fit the iPad size. It works fine on the iPhone version, but the iPad version won't let me scroll down far enough. Any help with this would be great! Thanks!

Is the table view physically large enough to display the contents? Can you post a picture of the issue?

Log the tableview's frame. It's possible it stretches beyond the bounds of the screen.

Sure. Basically it's a movie trailer app, and when you touch a cell it plays the trailer. This is all it displays, when I try and scroll down, it just bounces back up, essentially not letting me scroll down.

Judging from the offset title in the navigation bar, it would seem that your view is too big. How are you putting it on the screen?

Well here's my MainTableViewController.h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface MainTableViewController : UIViewController {
    UINavigationController *navigationController;
}

@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UINavigationController *navigationController;

@end

It's .m:

@interface MainTableViewController ()

@end

@implementation MainTableViewController

@synthesize navigationController;

- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
    self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
    if (self) {
        // Custom initialization
    }
    return self;
}

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view from its nib.
    [self.view addSubview:[navigationController view]];
}

- (void)viewDidUnload
{
    [super viewDidUnload];
    // Release any retained subviews of the main view.
    // e.g. self.myOutlet = nil;
}

- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation {
    return (interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft || interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight);
}


@end

And in this MyTableViewController is a RootViewController.

Your navigation controller should most likely not be inside another view controller. The navigation controller should be the root.

Ok so how exactly should I do that?

jordanclark1993 · July 2012

Never mind I figured it all out :D In my MainTableViewController.m (in viewDidLoad) I just put:
self.navigationController.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 480, 320);

It's still set up wrong. Make a new project using the master-detail template, and observe. Or find a navigation controller tutorial.

jordanclark1993 · July 2012

Ok thanks. This is from an example project of someone's online of a UITableView.

BrianSlick · July 2012

Then either it is wrong or you followed the directions wrong. A navigation controller should not be inside another view controller.

jordanclark1993 · July 2012

It must be wrong then because I downloaded the finished project from the website I got it from. Can't remember where?

Howdy, Stranger!
