UITableViewCell - No Section Header only for first cell - ios

Question

Is it possible to hide/remove the first tableviewHeader only?
basically I want to show a custom cell which will be designed as an offer - I dont want this to have a header - could I add this logic to my heightForHeaderInSection method -
-(CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section{
return 40;
}

Answer 1

Check with this:
-(CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
if(section == 0)
{
return 0;
}
return 40;
}
Or you can implement viewForHeaderInSection
- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
if(section == 0)
{
return nil
}
//else return header view
}

Answer 2

Yes you should do:
-(CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
if (section == 0)
return 0.0;
else
return 40;
}
And also if you use titleForHeaderInSection: you should return nil when section = 0.

Answer 3

Try this:
-(CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section{
if(section == 0)
{
return 0;
}
return 40;
}

Answer 4

Try the following way for your table view's headers
- (CGFloat) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
if (section == 0)
return 1.0f;
return 40.0f;
}
- (NSString*) tableView:(UITableView *) tableView titleForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
if (section == 0) {
return nil;
} else {
// return some string here ...
}
}
- (void) viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(-1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0);
}
