How do you shrink a UIPickerView on the iPhone?

by

Actually, you can slightly shrink the whole UIPickerView by applying an affine transform to an enclosing view. For example:

CGSize pickerSize = [pickerView sizeThatFits:CGSizeZero];

pickerTransformView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, pickerSize.width, pickerSize.height)];
pickerTransformView.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(0.75f, 0.75f);

[pickerTransformView addSubview:pickerView];
[self.view addSubview:pickerTransformView];
[pickerTransformView release];

will scale a picker to 75% of its original size by placing it within a containing view and applying a scaling transform to that view. Applying a transform directly to the UIPickerView leads to undesirable drawing artifacts.

However, the kind of resizing you’re looking for would be best served by creating a custom control.
