autoresize of uiview

Question

I have a uiview in a tab controller

And in it is a uitableview

When toggling in call status bar it doesn't do anything

The view is not automatically resized

It assumes the right size based on whether the in call status bar was toggled when the app starts but if the status bar is toggled whilst the app is running nothing changes

another tab view with a navigation controller seems to resize fine

Here is the code

if ([indexPath indexAtPosition:0] == 0 || [indexPath indexAtPosition:0] == 1) {
        if (!airportChooser) {
            airportChooser = [[AirportChooserController alloc] init];
            airportChooser.targetController = self;
            airportChooser.view.autoresizesSubviews = YES;  
            airportChooser.view.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;
            [airportChooser.view setAutoresizingMask:UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth];
        }
        airportChooser.target = [indexPath indexAtPosition:0];
        [self.parentViewController.parentViewController.view addSubview:airportChooser.view];
        self.parentViewController.parentViewController.view.autoresizesSubviews = YES;
        self.parentViewController.parentViewController.view.contentMode = UIViewContentModeRedraw;
        [self.parentViewController.parentViewController.view setAutoresizingMask:UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth];
        airportChooser.view.contentMode = UIViewContentModeRedraw;
        //[airportChooser open];
    }

Answer 1

Did you set the resizing mask of the UIView correctly? You can set it in Interface Builder in the size tab, it's the red lines that you can click.

You can also set it in code using something like:

[view setAutoresizingMask:UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth];

Also make sure the superview has set autoresizesSubviews to YES.

You can find more information about this in the UIView documentation.

Whilst klaaspeiter's answer makes sense and in some cases may be the right answer in my specific case it was because I was adding a sub view to a UINavigationController's view with addSubview instead of pushViewController:view animated:NO;
