iPhone object not to be scrollable

Question

I have UITableView that scroll as per expected. I want the table to take up 80% of the space and I want another object at the top. No biggie there. My problem is that I don't want the object at the top to scroll when the table does. Any help/examples of how this can be done would be greatly appreciated. This is seen quite a bit with the search bar. Thanks.

Answer 1

You need to arrange your view hierarchy so the other object is not in a scrollable view. So it should look like the following.

UIView
   |
   |-- UIView - this one won't scroll
   |
   |-- UIScrollView
            |
            |--UITableView

Answer 2

The Gary's answer is good already. I just want to elaborate it.

You have a UIViewControler A (that should not be a UITableVIewController or UIScrollViewController).

Then you have a UITableView B and UIView C.

You can do like this : [A.view addSubview:C] and then [A.view addSubiew:B]. Remember to init the view with the correct frame

Ok, I got the concept, but now I am lacking the execution. How can I go about adding code in my rootViewControler? I tried the following and I see the two "headers" but they are still both scrolling. I have added them to my viewDidLoad in my RootViewController

     UIView *containerViewA =
 [[[UIView alloc]
   initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 300, 60)]
  autorelease];

 UIView *containerViewB =
 [[[UIView alloc]
   initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 60, 300, 60)]
  autorelease];

 UILabel *headerLabelA =
 [[[UILabel alloc]
   initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 20, 300, 40)]
  autorelease];

 UILabel *headerLabelB =
 [[[UILabel alloc]
   initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 80, 300, 40)]
  autorelease];

 headerLabelA.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
 headerLabelA.shadowColor = [UIColor blackColor];
 headerLabelA.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0, 1);
 headerLabelA.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:22];
 headerLabelA.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
 headerLabelA.text = NSLocalizedString(@"A", @"");

 headerLabelB.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
 headerLabelB.shadowColor = [UIColor blackColor];
 headerLabelB.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0, 1);
 headerLabelB.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:22];
 headerLabelB.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
 headerLabelB.text = NSLocalizedString(@"B", @"");


 [containerViewB  addSubview:headerLabelA];
 [containerViewA  addSubview:containerViewB];
 [self.view addSubview:containerViewA];
