Rescaling a UITableView for the iPad?

Question

Recently, I have begun porting my iPhone app to the iPad and I have a view with a UITableView subview. Is there any way to rescale the table? The autoresizing masks don't blow up the font and I basically just want a rescaled, crisp, larger version of the table for the iPad. Is there an easy way to go about doing this?

Answer 1

You could set cell.textLabel.font to a bigger one in cellForRowAtIndexPath:.

You could up the height of each cell by implementing heightForRowAtIndexPath:, e.g.

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
    heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath 
{
    return 123.f;
}

Those are the ones I can think of, off hand.

Answer 2

you can set the table's rowHeight in the viewWillAppear.

self.tableView.rowHeight = 130.0;

Answer 3

Or use the UISplitViewController. The Tableview on the left and show the data, which should be displayed if you click one cell in the right view. ;-)
