UIPopoverController strange resize behavior

Question

I developed a static library for iPhone using a UINavigationController & pushing some UIViewControllers.

I'm implementing a way to permit ipad developers to include my library to their iPad applications. To do so, I want to display my library controllers in a UIPopoverController whose size is the iphone one.

That's I have developed, but each time i'm pushing a new viewController, the Popover resizes itself a very strange way:

I've checked my view controllers (via interface builder), and the AutoResize behaviors are deactivated.

Anybody have a solution ?

Answer 1

The UIViewController that the UIPopoverViewController displays needs to set this property:

contentSizeForViewInPopover

to indicate its displaying size, and the UIPopoverViewController will get resized according to the value of that property. For example:

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    self.contentSizeForViewInPopover = self.view.frame.size;
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view from its nib.
}

Answer 2

As far as I understand your problem, the popover resizes whenever you push a controller to the UINavigationController, which is the root controller of your UIPopoverController. I cannot say why this happens but you can get rid of it by sending a reference of your popoverController (popoverControllerReference, you can create a singleton reference) to your view controller and manually setting the popoverContentSize whenever you push controllers: popoverControllerReference.popoverContentSize = CGSizeMake(320, 460);

Answer 3

The accepted answer uses a method that is now deprecated in iOS 7.0.

I was having the same issue and had success using popoverContentSize.

Something along this below:

[_popoverSegue.popoverController setPopoverContentSize:CGSizeMake(320.0f, 460.0f)];

where _popoverSegue is an instance of UIStoryboardPopoverSegue

Hope this helps future visitors...
