How to resize UITableView in UITableViewController with section header

Question

I\'ve got a grouped UITableView in a UITableViewController and I want to resize it horizontally.

I tried many different ways but none of them was perfect.

Answer 1

The main issue is that the table view of a UITableViewController is the main view so it's not meant to be resized.

The best option is not to use UITableViewController. Instead, use UIViewController and add your own UITableView as a subview of the view controller's main view. This way you can size as needed.

Of course there is extra work to hook up all of the plumbing so your view controller works like a table view controller but there isn't too much to do.
