Advantages:
- Makes setFrame of
UIPickerView
behave like it should - No transform code within your
UIViewController
- Works within
viewWillLayoutSubviews
to rescale/position theUIPickerView
- Works on the iPad without
UIPopover
- The superclass always receives a valid height
- Works with iOS 5
Disadvantages:
- Requires you to subclass
UIPickerView
- Requires the use of
pickerView viewForRow
to undo the transformation for the subViews - UIAnimations might not work
Solution:
Subclass UIPickerView and overwrite the two methods using the following code. It combines subclassing, fixed height and the transformation approach.
#define FIXED_PICKER_HEIGHT 216.0f
- (void) setFrame:(CGRect)frame
{
CGFloat targetHeight = frame.size.height;
CGFloat scaleFactor = targetHeight / FIXED_PICKER_HEIGHT;
frame.size.height = FIXED_PICKER_HEIGHT;//fake normal conditions for super
self.transform = CGAffineTransformIdentity;//fake normal conditions for super
[super setFrame:frame];
frame.size.height = targetHeight;
CGFloat dX=self.bounds.size.width/2, dY=self.bounds.size.height/2;
self.transform = CGAffineTransformTranslate(CGAffineTransformScale(CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(-dX, -dY), 1, scaleFactor), dX, dY);
} - (UIView *)pickerView:(UIPickerView *)pickerView viewForRow:(NSInteger)row forComponent:(NSInteger)component reusingView:(UIView *)view
{
//Your code goes here CGFloat inverseScaleFactor = FIXED_PICKER_HEIGHT/self.frame.size.height;
CGAffineTransform scale = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(1, inverseScaleFactor);
view.transform = scale;
return view;
}
