    <p>I have seen several similar questions to this, but none that addresses my specific need. I want to be able to write a generic helper method that returns the maximum usable frame size for a UIView, taking into account whether the app has any combination of a status bar, navigation bar and/or tab bar as I find myself doing this all the time.</p> <p>Method definition would be as an extension of UIScreen:</p> <pre><code>+ (CGRect) maximumUsableFrame; </code></pre> <p>Getting the size with or without the status bar can be got from the</p> <p><code>[UIScreen mainScreen].applicationFrame</code> </p> <p>property, but I cannot figure out a way of determining if there is a navigation bar or tab bar present. I've thought about maintaining some global flags in my app delegate but this seems really clunky and stops the code being generic and re-usable. I have also considered passing a UIView as a parameter, getting the view's window, then the rootViewController and then seeing if the navigation controller property is set. If so then checking if the navigation controller is hidden. All very clunky if you ask me.</p> <p>Any thoughts would be appreciated.</p> <p>Dave</p> <p>EDIT: Incorporating ideas from Caleb's answer in case this is of use to anyone else:</p> <pre><code>// Extension to UIViewController to return the maxiumum usable frame size for a view @implementation UIViewController (SCLibrary) - (CGRect) maximumUsableFrame { static CGFloat const kNavigationBarPortraitHeight = 44; static CGFloat const kNavigationBarLandscapeHeight = 34; static CGFloat const kToolBarHeight = 49; // Start with the screen size minus the status bar if present CGRect maxFrame = [UIScreen mainScreen].applicationFrame; // If the orientation is landscape left or landscape right then swap the width and height if (UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape(self.interfaceOrientation)) { CGFloat temp = maxFrame.size.height; maxFrame.size.height = maxFrame.size.width; maxFrame.size.width = temp; } // Take into account if there is a navigation bar present and visible (note that if the NavigationBar may // not be visible at this stage in the view controller's lifecycle. If the NavigationBar is shown/hidden // in the loadView then this provides an accurate result. If the NavigationBar is shown/hidden using the // navigationController:willShowViewController: delegate method then this will not be accurate until the // viewDidAppear method is called. if (self.navigationController) { if (self.navigationController.navigationBarHidden == NO) { // Depending upon the orientation reduce the height accordingly if (UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape(self.interfaceOrientation)) { maxFrame.size.height -= kNavigationBarLandscapeHeight; } else { maxFrame.size.height -= kNavigationBarPortraitHeight; } } } // Take into account if there is a toolbar present and visible if (self.tabBarController) { if (!self.tabBarController.view.hidden) maxFrame.size.height -= kToolBarHeight; } return maxFrame; } </code></pre>

    1. COIf NavigationBar and TabBar are visible, you can find heights this way:`self.navigationController.navigationBar.frame.size.height;` and `self.tabBarController.tabBar.frame.size.height`. Why variable for tabbar height called kToolBarHeight? =)

    2. CODepending how you want to use this, at least in my case, I also updated the frame origin for the navController so I knew exactly where I could position my view in the ViewController. Otherwise you could still end up under the nav bar.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
