Not getting a correct height for bounds of iphone screen

Question

I am having trouble setting up the frame for one of my views. I know that the height in points of the iPhone 5 is 568, but when I enter this code into the viewDidLoad in my ViewController:

    var height = self.bounds.height
    println(height)

output:

    640.0

Why does it come out as this when it should be 568? Is it a problem with the simulator?

And I think you have to put that code in viewWillAppear since the frame of the view isn't updated until then. — Lyndsey Scott, Jul 29 '14 at 18:57

I thin your viewController height is more than 568.You have did FreeForm.Check the height in Size inspector of your view controller. Make simulated size fixed.

EDIT: You can make it portrait and iPhone 4 inch to show it correctly see below.

To get the height of the screen you want the height of the VIEW. To do that you would want:

DO NOT PUT:

var height = self.view.bounds.height

DO:

var height = self.view.bounds.size.height

What are you getting as height? – Wyetro Jul 29 '14 at 19:03
@heinzelmanB Take the suggestion from my second comment underneath your post – Lyndsey Scott Jul 29 '14 at 19:05
@LyndseyScott no, it should be fine in the viewDidLoad. I ran my example code on the iPhone 4 simulator and got 480. – Wyetro Jul 29 '14 at 19:06
Did you change it to self.view.bounds.size.height -- Instead of self.view.bounds.height – Wyetro Jul 29 '14 at 19:06
maybe there is something wrong with my simulator if you got it right. @WyattMufson – bhzag Jul 29 '14 at 19:07
