automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets not working

ios, ios7, objective-c, uiscrollview, uitabbar

Solution

I think that `automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets` only works when your controllers `view` is a `UIScrollView` (a table view is one).

You're problem seems to be that your controller's `view` is a regular `UIView` and your `UITableView` is just a subview, so you'll have to either:

Make the table view the "root" view.

Adjust insets manually:

UIEdgeInsets insets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(controller.topLayoutGuide.length,
                                       0.0,
                                       controller.bottomLayoutGuide.length,
                                       0.0);
scrollView.contentInset = insets;

Edit:

Seems like the SDK is capable of adjusting some scroll views despite not being the controller's root view.

So far It works with `UIScrollView`'s and `UIWebView`'s `scrollView` when they are the subview at index `0`.

Anyway this may change in future iOS releases, so you're safer adjusting insets yourself.

Problem

I've created an extremely simple demo app to test the functionality of `automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets`, but the last cell of the tableView is covered by my tab bar. My AppDelegate code: ``` UITabBarController *tabControl = [[UITabBarController alloc] init]; tabControl.tabBar.translucent = YES; testViewController *test = [[testViewController alloc] init]; [tabControl setViewControllers:@[test]]; [self.window setRootViewController:tabControl]; ``` My testViewController (subclass of UITableViewController) Code: ``` - (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad]; self.automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets = YES; self.tableView = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.bounds]; self.tableView.dataSource = self; self.tableView.scrollIndicatorInsets = self.tableView.contentInset; //[self.view addSubview:self.tableView]; // Do any additional setup after loading the view. } - (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section { return 20; } - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath { UITableViewCell *cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:@""]; cell.textLabel.text = @"test"; return cell; } ``` Is this a bug in iOS 7? If not, what did I do wrong?
