iOS 7: Custom container view controller and content inset

Question

I have a table view controller wrapped in a navigation controller. The navigation controller seems to automatically apply the correct content inset to the table view controller

Answer 1

FYI in case anyone is having a similar problem: it appears that automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets is only applied if your scrollview (or tableview/collectionview/webview) is the first view in their view controller's hierarchy.

I often add a UIImageView first in my hierarchy in order to have a background image. If you do this, you have to manually set the edge insets of the scrollview in viewDidLayoutSubviews:

- (void) viewDidLayoutSubviews {
    CGFloat top = self.topLayoutGuide.length;
    CGFloat bottom = self.bottomLayoutGuide.length;
    UIEdgeInsets newInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(top, 0, bottom, 0);
    self.collectionView.contentInset = newInsets;

}
