Today Extension height for iPad much larger than specified

Question

My Today extension needs to have a dynamic height based on the contents the widget is displaying. I was able to achieve this by adding a constraint on my bottom-most element: bo

Answer 1

I was facing the same issue. Have you added bottom padding constraint as shown in the image?

That worked for me.Hope it helps

Answer 2

Here's how to achieved this:

1. You should consider your constraint.

2. Your widgets default margin insets are not properly configured on the way you desired it, so setting this on your own is the only workaround here by calling 'widgetMarginInsetsForProposedMarginInsets:'

// Update widgets insets

func widgetMarginInsetsForProposedMarginInsets(defaultMarginInsets: UIEdgeInsets) -> UIEdgeInsets {

    println(NSStringFromUIEdgeInsets(defaultMarginInsets))
    return UIEdgeInsetsMake(20, 20, 10, 20)
}

I had to hardcode the value of the widget on the viewDidLoad delegate method in order to fix this:

import UIKit
import NotificationCenter

class TodayViewController: UIViewController, NCWidgetProviding {

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        self.preferredContentSize = CGSize(width: 0, height: 320)
    }

}
