Re: View shifted up on iPhone simulator
Thanks for the input. I was just trying to load a particular XIB based on the device being used. Each XIB would communicate something different. It sounds like I can scratch this idea for something simpler using UIViewController. I'll reread the programming and reference guides and rethink my solution. Again, thanks for the input!

They'll let you take care of rotation and plenty of other stuff: read the view controller programming guide. Using a view controller gives you many more places to customize what happens. There's viewDidLoad for initial setup, viewDidUnload for cleanup, viewWillAppear, viewDidAppear, and related methods for more frequent stuff, you name it. See the documentation for UIViewController. What you want to achieve is easily done in viewDidLoad, or if you want to have complete control without using Interface Builder, in loadView. Depending on how different your views are depending on the device, there may be simpler solutions.

Re: View shifted up on iPhone simulator
I believe -[UIScreen applicationFrame] returns different values for phone and simulator in OS 3.0. From your screenshots I have no idea if that's your problem though. Did you layout your view in IB or did you do that programmatically? Best to set a breakpoint where you position your content, or at least in -viewDidLoad and find out where exactly the difference is.

Re: View shifted up on iPhone simulator
Views shouldn't be drawn to the full height of 480 unless you intend to hide the status bar. The application window extends behind the status bar, so if you add a view to the window with frame.origin.y = 0.0, it will be behind the status bar. Unless you're hiding the status bar, your view's frame.origin.y should be 20.0 Interface builder just shows you the view and knows nothing of its superview (the window) so that's why the apparent shift.

This seems like a bit of brute force... what are you really trying to
detect by looking at the device type?

Re: View shifted up on iPhone simulator
I second the previous poster's opinion: view controllers are definitely the way to go here. They'll let you take care of rotation and plenty of other stuff: read the view controller programming guide. Using a view controller gives you many more places to customize what happens. There's viewDidLoad for initial setup, viewDidUnload for cleanup, viewWillAppear, viewDidAppear, and related methods for more frequent stuff, you name it. See the documentation for UIViewController. What you want to achieve is easily done in viewDidLoad, or if you want to have complete control without using Interface Builder, in loadView. Depending on how different your views are depending on the device, there may be simpler solutions. Good luck, Hank On Oct 2, 2009, at 4:08 PM, Anthony Smith wrote: Hm, I opted to set the view's programmatically rather than through a controller so I could control what view is initially displayed depending on the device (iPhone, iPod, etc.). I'm assuming I will be able to achieve something like this even when using view controllers?

I always change mine to 480 before I start using them. From your pictures, it looks like this is the culprit - that, and the status bar covering up the top. In order to change it, you must disable the 'simulate status bar' option in the view's inspector. I believe that view is designed to be shown in a view controller who takes the status bar into account already. I also believe that you simply added the view as a subview of the window, which is what caused the status bar to cover up the top. (also, the interface builder shows you what the view would look like in a view controller that takes the status bar into account) From this, you have a few options: 1) Disable the status bar in your application, set the view's Simulated Interface Elements to not show the status bar, then change the hight of the view to 480. To disable the status bar in your application, go to its info.plist, add a new row, scroll to the bottom, select Status Bar is Initially Hidden and set it to TRUE. 2) Use a view controller to show your view. I didn't fully understand just what the controllers did until after a very long time of tinkering, but they're a godsend... or, an apple-send in this case. They'll help making stuff like that line up, though only after you understand them. or 3) Use both the above options (this is my recommendation) On 2 Oct 2009, at 12:28 PM, Anthony Smith wrote: When I run my app in the iPhone simulator the view seems to be shifted up on the screen. If that doesn't make sense I've uploaded some images. Take a look and see if you've run into this before. http://projects.sticksnleaves.com/iphonedev/ib.png http://projects.sticksnleaves.com/iphonedev/sim.png Thanks!___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
