What is the best practice to calculate the view size in the loadView
method (in an UIViewController
) without a XIB file?
Here is my solution:
- (void)loadView {
//Calculate Screensize
BOOL statusBarHidden = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] isStatusBarHidden ];
BOOL navigationBarHidden = [self.navigationController isNavigationBarHidden];
BOOL tabBarHidden = [self.tabBarController.tabBar isHidden];
CGRect frame = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds];
if (!statusBarHidden) {
frame.size.height -= [[UIApplication sharedApplication] statusBarFrame].size.height;
}
if (!navigationBarHidden) {
frame.size.height -= self.navigationController.navigationBar.frame.size.height;
}
if (!tabBarHidden) {
frame.size.height -= self.tabBarController.tabBar.frame.size.height;
}
UIView *v = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame: frame];
[v setBackgroundColor: [UIColor whiteColor] ];
[v setAutoresizingMask: UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight ];
[self setView: v ];
[v release];
}
Is this code okay, or should I edit something?
The docs recommend using [[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame]
to get the screen bounds without the status bar
