Scrolling up UICollectionView don't move a UIView above it - ios

I am working in a profile ViewController. This profile has a main image in a UIView subclass and a CollectionView gallery with some images. I would like to be able to scroll up the UICollectionView and move the UIView too, and if I scroll down, I want to watch again the UIView when the collectionView first item is showed again.
I have tried to do this adding the collectionView and the UIView to a ScrollView, but the UIView only scroll up if I touch it.
In this picture you can see my problem
Thank you in advance

You need to make the view at the top a Header View of the collection view.
Essentially it needs to be an actual part of the collection view if you want this action. (That's the easiest way anyway).
So the collection view will take up the whole screen but it will have a header view. Then when you scroll the collection view the header will move out of view and then come back in when you scroll down again.

UICollectionView Scrolling the ViewController

Im trying to implement a CollectionView inside my viewController.
And it works just fine.
The problem Im having is that the CollectionView scrolls inside the Parent controller.
I wish to make that if you scroll the collection view - the whole view is scrolled and not just the collection view bit.
I tried disabling scrolling on the Collection View but then nothing is scrolling anymore.
So how would I go about setting the collection view, so that once you scroll on it the whole page scrolls and not just the collection view scrolling inside the parent view controller?
It should be simple, and you've done one right thing already.
Disable scrolling of your collectionView (or tableView, in the future just in case you'll use it, they're basically the same).
Add your collectionView (or tableView) inside a scrollView.
That scrollView is of course in your controller's view.
Make sure every constraints are set properly.
You might need to get the size of your collectionView (say height), and set that height value to the constraint height of your collectionView.

Voila. The only scrolling enabled is your scrollView that contains your collectionView (or tableView).

How to implement non-scrollable UICollectionView inside UIScrollView?

In shorts, my desired screen layout is basically a user profile (iOS 7 + Xcode 5). I used UIScrollView as the top level view. The reason is that I want all its subviews to scroll (user info view - the view with a profile image and some buttons you see on the screen, and the photos collection view - the one with black background) when it is scrolled.
The region with black background will show user photos. I'm wondering if I could use a UICollectionView here, or there's a better way to implement it. The UICollectionView in this case shouldn't be able to scroll itself, it just shows all cells, while the scrolling work is handled by the outermost UIScrollView.
I read following posts:
UICollectionView inside of UIScrollView
UICollectionView in UIScrollView -> Scroll Order
iOS 7 Collection View inside Scroll View
Some said it's not possible (or at least, weird) implemeting UICollectionView inside UIScrollView because UIScrollView is UICollectionView's superclass which leads to unexpected behaviour. Some said it should be implemented in another way (but I didn't see a clear suggestion).
Yes, you can put a UICollectionView inside a UIScrollView. iOS has fully supported nested scroll views since iOS 3.0, and UICollectionView is a subclass of UIScrollView. For example, check out the App Store app on your iOS device. The screen scrolls vertically - it's either a UIScrollView or a UITableView (which is itself a subclass of UIScrollView). And each row of icons scrolls horizontally - each row is a UICollectionView.
However, it's not clear why you need to put a collection view inside a scroll view. It sounds like you only want the photos view to scroll, so just make the photos view be a collection view. Why do you need to put the collection view inside a scroll view?
UPDATE
Just use a collection view. Set the header of section 0 to the profile info view. You don't need a scroll view.
If you put all the photos in one section, you can set up the header in your storyboard with no code. If you use multiple sections, you'll need to implement collectionView:layout:referenceSizeForHeaderInSection: in your delegate and collectionView:viewForSupplementaryElementOfKind:atIndexPath: in your data source.

UICollectionView as subview of UIViewController

I want to use a collection view thats horizontally scrollable along the bottom 25% of my screen full of pictures and then use the top 75% of the screen to display information about the selected cell (zoomed in picture, caption, people in it, etc.) of the collection view. My question is how to go about implementing view controllers in this situation.
Will I need a UIViewController to handle the whole screen and UICollectionViewController to handle the collection view (how do I get them to work together?) Or could I implement the whole screen with just one view controller? (if so, which one?) Should I use a custom CollectionViewController with one section being my main info, and another section being the bottom scrollable part?
No, just have one UIViewController and add the UICollectionView as a subview. Then set the dataSource and delegate and tell it to reloadData. If it seems too easy, you're overthinking it.

ios : tableview not appearing in subview of a scrollview

I have a scrollview with multiple views.Enabled horizontal scrolling.Each view contains a tableview.I have page control in scrollview. when i drag horizontally, the views are appearing without tableview except the first view. Please give me suggestions.
Make sure if setContentSize to your scrollview means scrollview content size is the size of your main view.
When you scroll to next view or if you scroll to view displayed for first time, make sure you reload table. You can implement his through delegate and protocols. For example, when you scroll to second view for first time, then controller should call some method on subview to reload its table.

UITableView grouped with transparency above to reveal content behind it?

Is it possible to make a grouped UITableView transparent above and below it's content. I am not looking for a parallax-type solution, but I have a UITableView that I add to my view controller. When pulling down on the table view, I would like to display the view controller view (that the table view us a subview of).
Right now, when I add a UITableView with the same frame as my view controller's view and add it as a subview, when I drag down on the UITableView the header above the first cell is the same colour as my UITableView's background. Instead I would like for it to reveal the content behind it more and more as the user drags down.
Is this possible and how? Thanks.
