mobilePick with long list

Post by richardmac » Sat Nov 09, 2013 7:58 pm

I'm using mobilePick in an iPad app to display a list with 11 items in it. In the simulator, the list pops up with the native iOS look, but it only displays lines 1 - 8. If you touch the list, you discover you can scroll down to the last three lines. But this is bad because it doesn't give the user any hint that the list is scrollable. There's plenty of room on the screen to draw the last three lines, but for some reason mobilePick on iPad iOS 7 only shows you the first 8 lines. I've looked in the documentation but I did not see a way to display all 11 lines. Anyone?

That's standard behaviour. The picker is a fairly common interface element on iOS and so users should be familiar with it's function.
