UITableView contentInset allows you to watch a table horizontally in addition to vertical

Question

I create a UITableViewController in code and push it over the navigation stack. This table view is intended to simply show a simple list of text elements.

I need to add some content Change to the table view that I add in the init method of my UITableViewController

self.tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(7.0f, 5.0f, 7.0f, 5.0f); 

However, when I load the table view, it seems that the left and right ContentInset actually stretched the width of my table view by 10. Now I see a small horizontal scrollable area. I don't need horizontal scrolling on my desk. If I delete the ContentInset code, my table view behaves explicitly, that is, it just provides vertical scrolling. How can I keep it this way, but with my content? I tried to reduce the value of contentSize.width by 10 in viewWillAppear, this did not affect.

This seems like a duplicate, but without an acceptable answer: UITableView ContentInsets scrolls the content horizontally

In the layout, I marked the desired ContentInset with a dashed line ---

Thanks.

Answer 1

In the end, I installed only the top and bottom inserts. To achieve left and right insertion and appearance, I created a custom cell as wide as the screen. But the actual contents of the cell were limited to a slightly narrower subzone inside the user cell. Thus, there was free space left and right of the spy.

Perhaps you should set the bounces scrollView property to YES. And do not install ContentInset.

Answer 3

It looks like you need to do 2 things:

• Add a table view to the container view and make the frame table look thinner (add left and right borders).
• Add contentInset for top and bottom only.

Answer 4

Another way that might work is that instead of setting the tableView frame tableView you can set the frame for the contentView cell, something like this,

 - (void) layoutSubviews { [super layoutSubviews]; CGRect frame = self.contentView.frame; frame.size.width = frame.size.width * 0.9; //90% of total width frame.origin.x = self.center.x - (frame.size.width/2); //center the contentView self.contentView.frame = frame; } 

Using the above, you can add any left or right or left additions to the cell. and all sub-types will be added to the contentView , so there are no problems there.

happy coding ..!
