How to set the height of table header in UITableView?

Question

I have gone through Apple docs about UITableView class and delegate reference but couldn't find the way to set the table header height explicitly.

I set Table cell height using following delegate:

-(CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath 

and set section header/footer height using following delegates.

-(CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section -(CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section 

Could anyone please help me to set the table header/footer height?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Just set the frame property of the tableHeaderView.

Answer 2

I found a nice hack. Add the below line after modifying the frame propery

self.tableView.tableHeaderView = self.tableView.tableHeaderView; 

The trick is (I think) that the UITableView is caching the height (the frame actually) when you assign the view to the tableHeaderView property. The above line just assigns the height again.
