Animating height of view during Navigation animation

[djp_phillips]

I've got a UINavigationController and my root view is a UITableView.

When I drill to a detail view, I am animating the bottom buttons of the navigation down and out of screen. And I need to animate the Navigation's view to fill up the empty space left by the bottom tab bar.

The problem is I am animating the view by setting it's frame using setFrame.

This is obviously overriding the table view's default handling of the view's location on screen, so now there's no drill animation, it just jumps to the detail view and animates the height.

What I need to do is just modify the height and not the frame, I tried animating the view's bounds but the table drill animation would still not persist.

Any ideas what I could do?

If anyone's interested, I ended up setting an NSTimer and waited for 0.4 seconds to animate my frame, thus avoiding conflict with the NavigationController's animation
