Adjust size of MPMediaPickerController's view ?

Answer 1

This could go two ways. Yes I'd say it's a bit of a bug that the picker doesn't resize accordingly, but it could also be argued that Apple expects the picker to operate in a non-full screen environment.

Rather than try to force it to work as you'd like, I'd instead recommend turning the status bar back on while the picker is visible:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO animated:YES];

(To confirm, you are turing the status bar off in a similar fashion with your app, not just somehow painting over it?)

Answer 2

[[picker view] setBounds:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480)];

Answer 3

Perhaps?

picker.wantsFullScreenLayout = YES;
picker.view.clipsToBounds = NO;
