Question

I’ve got a grouped UITableView in a UITableViewController and I want to resize it horizontally.

I tried many different ways but none of them was perfect.

What I’ve tried:

1.) Overriding - [UITableView setFrame:], but it didn’t move the headers of the sections and there are black areas on both sides (because there isn’t anything behind the table view).

2.) Overriding - [UITableViewCell setFrame:], but it still doesn’t move the headers (which is important).

3.) Calling - [self.view setFrame:] from UITableViewController, but it doesn’t do anything.

If you’ve got any idea how to solve it please share it with me!

Answer 1

If you call - [UITableView setFrame:] from - [UITableViewController viewDidAppear:], it works:

- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
    [self.tableView setFrame:CGRectMake(x, y, w, h)];
}

In order to avoid having black bars on each side of the table view, set the background color of the application’s main window to white:

[[[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow] setBackgroundColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
