iPhone UITableView with a header area

Question

Hi,

I have a view that was created with all of the default UITableView stuff, but now I need to add a header area above where the UITableView is (so the UITableView will scroll normally, but the top 100px of the screen or so will have static header content). I don't see where I can resize the UITableView in IB, and am not sure how to do this.

Does anyone know? Thank you.

Answer 1

Why don't you use the UITableView provided header?. As follow:

- (NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section

{
     return @"My Title"
}

Additionally you may resize your table view in IB by dragging the borders.

Answer 2

You will have to embed the UITableView in a UIView alongwith another view (which you are referring to as header section).

So, the UIView will have 2 subviews. The header view followed by the table view.

• UIView(parent)
  • UIView (header)
  • UITableView (table)

Hope this helps.
