tableView.tableHeaderView being set but not drawn.

Question

Hi, whenever I set my tableHeaderView I'm not seeing it in the Simulator. If I add it as a subview, it ends up getting drawn underneath the section header. Any idea what I'm missing here?

I do have a XIB file. I didn't see any properties in IB to affect headerViews though.

- (void)viewDidLoad {   
[super viewDidLoad];
MyTitleView *titleView = [[MyTitleView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(60,0,260,40)];
titleView.label.text = @"My Title";
self.navigationItem.titleView = titleView;
[titleView release];

StandardTableHeaderView *headerView = [[StandardTableHeaderView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,320,44)];
self.tableView.tableHeaderView = headerView;

// [self.view addSubview:self.tableView.tableHeaderView]; [headerView release];

NSLog(@"Header: %@",self.tableView.tableHeaderView); //Logs ] Header:     <StandardTableHeaderView: 0x5a508b0; frame = (0 0; 320 44); layer = <CALayer: 0x5a51130>>

Edit: StandardTableHeaderView.m init method:

- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame {
if ((self = [super initWithFrame:frame])) {
    self.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
    self.label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(frame.origin.x,0,frame.size.width,frame.size.height)];
    self.label.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
    self.label.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
    self.label.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica" size:16];
    [self addSubview:self.label];
}
return self;
}

First of all your code looks fine.

2 possible problems:

• self.tableView is not set
• tableHeaderView is overridden after viewDidLoad
