Add button on top of UITableViewController (Swift)

Question

I am trying to add a button ontop of a uitableview controller table view. The view controller has a navigation controller and static cells, which is why it is a uitableviewcontroller and not a uiviewcontroller. Now I am trying to add a button at the bottom of the screen that is attached to the navigation controller so that it doesn't scroll with the table view.

I am trying to make something similar to what is below. It has a navigation controller for the top bar, a table view with static cells and then a button, but how did they do the button?

Thanks!

UPDATE: How can I use a uiviewcontroller with a tableview with static cells using Swift?

Answer 1

I find Container Views very useful in this scenario! A clean solution and very easy to implement.

Just create a normal UIViewController, add your button and a ContainerView as subviews of this UIViewController (the middle one in the image below). Finally create Embed Segue from ContainerView to your UITableViewController (the one on the right).

This way you can use static cell prototypes, not being limited only to UITableView at the same time.
