Question

I have this code linked to a button on a ViewController with a UITableView as subview:

-(IBAction)Action:(id)sender{


  [tableView setContentSize:CGSizeMake(320, 1000)];

}

This makes tha tableView scrollable to the bottom so that I can use a couple of buttons I programatically added to the bottom. So far so good.

However, I want the tableView to be ok from the beginning, so I added the code inside viewDidLoad. Surprisingly, it doesn’t work at all.

Could somebody give me a hand?

thanks!

If your datasource methods are being fired after viewDidLoad, the tableView content size will be reset when it’s loaded. You’ll need to make sure you’ve called reloadData for the table before the code above. If you’re using a UITableViewController, the order the methods are called is:

viewDidLoad
ViewWillAppear:
<your datasource methods>
ViewDidAppear:

However, if you want buttons at the end of table, you should put them in the tableFooterView. You can do this in interface builder easily by dragging a view to the bottom of the tableView. Or you can do it in code (in your viewDidLoad method, for example)

Per @Justin’s answer… your question isn’t very clear
