Adding iOS UITableView HeaderView (not section header)

Question

I want to add a table header (not section headers) like in the contacts app for example:

exactly like that - a label beside an image above of the table.

I want the all view be scrollable so I can't place those outside of the table.

How can I do that?

Answer 1

UITableView has a tableHeaderView property. Set that to whatever view you want up there.

Use a new UIView as a container, add a text label and an image view to that new UIView, then set tableHeaderView to the new view.

For example, in a UITableViewController:

-(void)viewDidLoad {      // ...      UIView *headerView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(XXX, YYY, XXX, YYY)];      UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(XXX, YYY, XXX, YYY)];      [headerView addSubview:imageView];      UILabel *labelView = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(XXX, YYY, XXX, YYY)];      [headerView addSubview:labelView];      self.tableView.tableHeaderView = headerView;      [imageView release];      [labelView release];      [headerView release];      // ... }
