On iOS 5, UIWebView is reporting wrong content size for scroll view
ios, ios5
Solution
I'll break down what finally solved this for me.
I had to wrap my content in this.
<html><head><meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"initial-scale=1, user-scalable=no, width=device-width\" /></head><body>%@</body></html>
implement the following view did load.
-(void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)webView {
[self layoutSubviews];
webView.scrollView.scrollEnabled = NO; // Property available in iOS 5.0 and later
CGRect frame = webView.frame;
frame.size.height = 1; // Set the height to a small one.
webView.frame = frame; // Set webView's Frame, forcing the Layout of its embedded scrollView with current Frame's constraints (Width set above).
frame.size.height = webView.scrollView.contentSize.height; // Get the corresponding height from the webView's embedded scrollView.
webView.frame = frame;
}
and
-(void) layoutSubviews {
[super layoutSubviews];
[body stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:
[NSString stringWithFormat:
@"document.querySelector('meta[name=viewport]').setAttribute('content', 'width=%d;', false); ",
(int)body.frame.size.width]];
}
and finally my webview does all the right things to scale itself to the content.
Problem
I have tried a bunch of "solutions" but for right now I am trying to figure out the content size of the scrollview of a UIWebView. It is currently always returning 1024 which is the width of the device. This doesn't make sense since I am querying the height and the view is in portrait orientation. The following code reports the height as 1024.00000 ``` -(void)webViewDidFinishLoad:(UIWebView *)webView { float sourcesWebViewHeight = [[webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:@"document.documentElement.scrollHeight"] floatValue]; NSLog(@"%f", sourcesWebViewHeight); } ``` But I only have a few lines of text.
