I created a View in the UI Editor and I set the width to 650. However, when I run the app, the view is not that wide and the text in my textview is clipped. I tried manually setting the width, but it is still not working. I'm doing this on an iPad.
This should have been in questions. Sorry.
Post your code?
In the form (UI Editor), under Size, I have this set:
FRAME
Width: 600
Height: 575
where I load the form, I have
main_view = ui.load_view('menu')
#main_view.width = 600 # this line did not work
main_view.present("sheet")
Sheets have a static size AFAIK, they'll always be 540 by 575 px. Popovers are the only thing with fully variable size, sidebars have a variable width up to 200px, and everything else is static or dependant on screen size.
(btw, you can move a thread to a different section by editing the first post.)
Do you get the desired result if you:
main_view.present('full-screen')
It covers the full screen, so my text isn't clipped, but that doesn't solve the problem with the sheet not honoring the width I set.
Yes, sheets have a fixed size on iOS 7 (it looks like this will change with iOS 8).
