Resize a TableView inside a TableViewController Swift - ios

I have a TableViewController which comes from a TabBarController. Now my problem is that, the TableView becomes scrollable under my NavigationBar on the top which is transparent and I don't want this to happen.
The second thing is that the TableView's last cell goes below the TabBar which makes it impossible to select the last cell.
Can someone suggest me how to resize the TableView, so that I place it perfectly in between the navigationBar on the top and the TabBar on the bottom.
Thanks in Advance.

Select your UIViewController in storyboard and go to Attribute inspector. In Top Bar combo select Opaque Navigation Bar and in Bottom Bar combo selct Opaque Tab bar.

How can I remove this bottom margin on my UITableView in iOS?

I have a UITableView as one of the (two) view controllers of a UITabBarController. The tab bar on the UITabBarController is hidden though, but this suits our UX because we wanted the user to be able to switch back and forth between two main screens.
The problem we're seeing, is a margin at the bottom of each of the UITableViewControllers inside the UITabBarController—I assume this is because the tab bar controller expects the tab bar to be visible.
The "Load more" button is the last UITableViewCell in the UITableView.
As you can see in the screenshot below, there's a bottom-margin between the scroll-bar on the right and the actual bottom of the UITableView.
How can I get rid of this margin, and reduce all of the white (grey) space between the last cell and the bottom of the view?
Goto Storyboard -> Attribute inspector
ViewController Section -> Layout -> Uncheck Adjust Scroll View Insets
Hope this help.
Go to the storyboard, and uncheck "Adjust Scroll View Insets" in the ViewController that contains the tableviews.

Can't get translucent navigation bar on tableviewcontroller. Works fine with view controller and tableview

I've got a gradient background that I want to show through both the navigation bar and the tab bar. I have them set to "translucent black". If I create a ViewController and put a TableView on it, this works perfectly. However, I can't get it to work properly with a TableViewController. The tab bar works fine, but the navigation bar ends up black. If I turn off "Adjust Scroll View Insets", then the navigation bar looks the way I want it, but the top half of the first table view row gets cut off (see examples). The gradient is on the background view. The background colour of the tableview is clear.
Is there any way to get the same effect on a TableViewController? Do I need to somehow make the heading or first row of the tableview be the background that goes under the nav bar?
ViewController with TableView added:
TableViewController with "Adjust Scroll View Insets" ON:
TableViewController with "Adjust Scroll View Insets" OFF:
After doing a test I think you'd need:
Adjusts Scroll View Insets ON
Extend Edges - Under Top Bars ON
No. 1 allow the UITableView to cover the entire screen (including under the navigation bar) and No. 2 adds a space at the top of the UITableView content so that the content is not hidden under the navigation bar.
I ran into a similar issue trying to set a full screen background on a static table view controller with a clear navigation bar. I solved it by using a backgroundView on my tableView instead of setting backgroundColor. For example:
myTableView.backgroundView = UIImageView(image: UIImage(named: "backgroundImg.png"))
I set my navigation bar to clear, but you could style that however you like:
navigationController?.navigationBar.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear
I also had to set Extend Edges - Under Top Bars ON

Add a UIImageView to the back of NavigationBar (NOT background image)

I am trying to add a UIImageView to the back of a navigation bar.
The reason is because I want to create a UITableView whose navigation bar is actually a picture (with back button on the left) but I want the picture to scroll with the tableview and when the picture is fully scrolled out. The navigation bar is shown as per normal.
My solution to this problem:
Add a UIImageView to the top of the UITableView and make the navigation bar transparent. Set a contentOffset for the UITableView which is a subclass of UIScrollView so that when the view is presented, it looks like the picture is filling the navigation status bar.
Problem:
If I scroll up, instead of bouncing back, the transparent status bar is shown (with a color of the background as it is transparent).
Possible way to solve this new problem:
I was thinking of trying to limit the ScrollView size to get around with problem but failed.
So I feel is it possible to add the UIImageView to the "back" of the navigation bar so that it is there without any offset? Since that way, my life will be much easier.
Any suggestions on solving this or another new approach to get the same UI/effect?
Related question.
I would do this by adding either a table header or cell at the top of the table which contains your image.
Create the table view so that it extends all the way to the top of the screen. Extend Under Top Bars option. I have not done this with a UITableViewController but I have done this with a UITableView embedded inside a UIViewController's view with the top constraint set to 0 for the view rather than the top layout guide.
Now when you run this your table will fill the whole screen and the top header or cell will be at the top showing your picture.
When you scroll you can either use the UIScrollViewDelegate to detect the movement or implement tableView:didEndDisplayingCell:forRowAtIndexPath:
I'm not 100% sure when you want the navigation bar to go non clear. If its when the image goes off screen then didEndDisplayingCell should be good. If its when the cell bottom passed under the bottom of the navigation bar then scroll view might be your only option.
This will also bounce as you expect when you pull down and it should snap back to the top.
Hope this helps.

TabBar in TableViewController is not at the bottom

I am trying to add a tabBar to my TableViewController but it is not a the bottom it just act like a cell
Here is a screenShot:
When using a UITableviewController storyboard scene, every Tab Bar or Toolbar you drag in it is automatically put into the tableView tableFooterView.
If you don't want that, you have to create an UIViewController scene. You will therefore be able to drag your Tab Bar or Toolbar in it, set its auto layout constraints and then add your UITableView in the UIViewController scene (see image below).
However, there is another solution. Select your Navigation Controller scene and go to the Attributes Inspector. In the Simulated Metrics, go to Bottom Bar and select "Translucent Tab Bar" or "Translucent toolbar". Then, select your UITableviewController scene and repeat the previous operation (see the picture below).
If you do so, all controllers following your Navigation Controller will have a Tab Bar or Toolbar (that's another problem that can also be fixed).
Use autoLayout to pin it to the bottom

UITableViewController Inside UINavigationController and UITabBarController Bottom Inset Off

I have a UITableView inside a UINavigationController that's inside a UITabBarController. There is a view on the bottom (I'll call it bottomView) between the table view and the tab bar that needs to stay at the bottom as the table view scrolls, so I can't put it as a footer in the table view.
The issue is that when i scroll to the bottom of the table view, there is an empty space the same height as the tab bar between the lowest content (and the scroll bar) and the top of bottomView.
I think this is because the table view is trying to automatically compensate for the tab view at the bottom, but I can't position it all the way at the bottom because of bottomView.
here's my IB layout:
and the display (last tableViewCell highlighted):
If I understand your question correct you need to set a contentInset to your tableView like this:
[self.tableView setContentInset:UIEdgeInsetsMake(0,0,44,0)];
Edit:
Ok I think I got it. Set:
self.automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets=NO;
I've seen this same nav controller->tab bar->tableview situation frustratingly cause the tableview to partially overlap with the navigation bar, instead of not reaching the tab bar. To anyone having this issue when using a UITableView: ensure your navigation bar is not translucent. If you want to use this setup with a translucent navigation bar, select the UITabBarController in the Interface Builder and uncheck the "extend edges under top bars" option in the attributes inspector.
