Changing width of footer for Section not work - ios

Question

Hey i try to change the width of my footer for sections with:
-(UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section{
UIView *viewFooter = [[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 0, 300, 44)];
[viewFooter setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blueColor]];
return viewFooter;
}
But the footer is always as width as the tableview (320.0f).....

Answer 1

Yes, the table view will always make the section head the full width of the table.
The easiest solution is to make your "real" footer a subview of the actual footer view.
Something like this:
-(UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section{
UIView *mainFooter = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 44)];
UIView *viewFooter = [[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 0, 300, 44)];
[viewFooter setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blueColor]];
viewFooter.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingMaskFlexibleWidth;
[mainFooter addSubview:viewFooter];
return mainFooter;
}
// You must implement this when you implement viewForFooterInSection
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section {
return 44;
}

Answer 2

You need to add a container around your desired footer custom view if it will have a different size than the actual tableview. This should work:
- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section {
UIView *viewFooter = [[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 0, 300, 44)];
[viewFooter setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blueColor]];
// Create a footer container that has a fixed width
// but in which you can adjust subviews frame as you want.
//
UIView *footerContainer = [[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 0, 320, 44)];
[footerContainer addSubview:viewFooter];
return footerContainer;
}
