I'm picking up some iOS programming and am trying to put a UITableView into a storyboard. Unfortunately, I am trying to put the content at the top of the view but it is putting in some space. I have tried to adjust the values in the inspector for View -> Mode but this doesn't seem to have any effect.
I have made the background green and put a border color to show the issue. I'm not a sophisticasted iOS dev, so I'd assume that this is the simplest solution and not something complex. How do I make the contents of the table view sit flush with the top? I've seen this Why is there extra padding at the top of my UITableView with style UITableViewStyleGrouped in iOS7 but not sure if it's related.
thx for any help
Updated with changes and screen shot of properties for this table view

Starting in iOS7, there is additional space at the top of my UITableView 's which have a style UITableViewStyleGrouped . The tableview starts at the first arrow, there are 35 pixels of unexplained padding, then the green header is a UIView returned by viewForHeaderInSection (where the section is 0).
UITableView manages the basic appearance of the table, but your app provides the cells ( UITableViewCell objects) that display the actual content. The standard cell configurations display a simple combination of text and images, but you can define custom cells that display any content you want.
To scroll to the top of our tableview we need to create a new IndexPath . This index path has two arguments, row and section . All we want to do is scroll to the top of the table view, therefore we pass 0 for the row argument and 0 for the section argument. UITableView has the scrollToRow method built in.
UITableView with sections allows us to separate the list into different categories, so the list looks more organized and readable. We can customize sections as per our need, but in this tutorial, we are covering the basic UITableview with sections. Here's is the video if you prefer video over text. Let Create An App.
Yes, that other question is very much related. UITableViewStyleGrouped divides each section into a "group" by inserting that extra padding…similar to what it did pre-iOS7, but clear instead of colored by default, and just at the top instead of all the way around. If you don't want the padding by default, use UITableViewStylePlain.
Otherwise, if you need to keep the style the same, do what this other posted from that link recommended and change the content inset:
self.tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(-36, 0, 0, 0);
Or do what this poster suggested and set the tableHeaderView's height to .-1, i.e. nearly 0:
self.tableView.tableHeaderView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, self.tableView.bounds.size.width, 0.01f)];
Go to the attributes inspector of the View Controller by selecting the xib or the controller in Storyboard. Uncheck the Adjust Scroll View Insets in Layout. It will solve the problem
