Question

I have a UIPopoverController with a subclass UINavigationController. Both the parent and child views are UITableviews.

When i call parent view originally with contentSizeForViewInPopover = (320,480) it works great.

When i click into the child view i resize the popover to contentSizeForViewInPopover = (320,780)

When return back to the parent view i cannot get the popover to resize back to contentSizeForViewInPopover = (320,480). the popover stays at the (320,780) size.

Been trying everything but just missing something. Anyone know how resize the view with UIPopoverControllers in the above scenario?

Thanks in Advance!!

I had the same problem, but none of the above solutions worked for me. However, in trying to combine their approaches, I was inspired to try a slightly different way to attack the problem. This works for me:

-(void)navigationController:(UINavigationController *)navigationController willShowViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController animated:(BOOL)animated
{
    viewController.contentSizeForViewInPopover = navigationController.topViewController.view.frame.size;
}

I have three different popovers that each use navigation view controllers. This solution has the nice side effect of working for all of them because it doesn’t make a specific reference to any of the popover controllers, but ends up using the popoverContentSize from the popover controller currently being used.
