UITableView section header creeps under navigation bar - uinavigationbar

Due to navigation bar style being translucent, I get my first section header (section # 0) hidden under my navigation bar.
I know this has been asked before, and a workaround to it is to do:
self.navController.navigationBar.translucent = YES;
This places the problematic view correct - section header appears beneath the navigation bar instead of hiding behind it, which is what I want.
However, this invalidates my other view designs and leaves extra spaces in all of them, right under my nav bar.
How do I get the section header at correct place?

Resolved:
Open storyboard file
select UITableView
Under attribute inspector -> Scroll view size -> Content insets, set Top = 44 (or whichever is your nav bar height).
See image below - it is under size section:
And here is how to fix it programmatically.

To solve this while using SVPullToRefresh. I created the method below and inplace of [self.tableView.pullToRefreshView stopAnimating];
-(void)stopPullToRefreshAnimation
{
[self.tableView.pullToRefreshView stopAnimating]; // call to stop animation
UIEdgeInsets inset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(44, 0, 0, 0);
self.tableView.contentInset = inset;
self.tableView.scrollIndicatorInsets = inset;
} //stopPullToRefreshAnimation

For others having this issue while using (SVPullToRefresh).
It can be solved by changing the view.originalTopInset in UIScrollView+SVPullToRefresh.m to whatever point you want your header to start at.

Easiest solution:
tableView.tableHeaderView = UIView()

Empty white space above UITableView inside a UIView

I'm trying to position a TableView inside my ViewController view but leaving a 44 height gap between the bottom of the navigation bar and the top of the table. I then wanted to place a UITextField inside that gap to act as a stationary header. For some reason, the TableView has an empty white space above the start of the "Prototype Cells". Its just white space. Here is what it looks like in the storyboard.
When viewing the app display, this is what it looks like:
When scrolling the table, it goes all the way up to the correct place:
Try to look in the 'attribute inspector' (in the right menu) of the Participants ViewController.
Check for the option 'Extend Edges' and uncheck the 'Under Top Bars', and then relocate your tableview.
Another possible solution is to just uncheck the option 'Adjust Scroll View Insets'.
The reason is that when the viewController extends its edges, let's say under the top bar, the tableView's scrollView automatically adjusts its inset top, so that the content of the tableView will start exactly under the top bar. But in your case this is not needed, since your tableView itself starts under the bar.
Focus on the ViewController and got to the Attribute Inspector tab:
Try this one:
self.tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(-65, 0, 0, 0)
Just add this in you ViewDidLoad method
self.automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets = NO;
change your table view style from grouped to plain
You should not need to change the default setting for Extend Edges.
Looks like the real problem is a blank table header view in your storyboard. It's showing in the screenshot you provided of your storyboard, right below the Enter Name view and right above the Prototype Cells view. Delete it.
My issues is, I set tableHeaderView as new UIView like this
self.tableHeaderView = UIView(frame: .zero)
Remove this line, the issue is gone. Try this:
//self.tableHeaderView = UIView(frame: .zero)
This is the 2022, iOS 15 solution if anyone stumbles upon this.
if #available(iOS 15.0, *) {
UITableView.appearance().sectionHeaderTopPadding = CGFloat(0)
}
I just found a solution for this.
In my case, i was using TabBarViewController, A just uncheck the option 'Adjust Scroll View Insets'. Issues goes away.

For Objective-C folks, add this in your ViewDidLoad method.
[self.tableView setContentInset:UIEdgeInsetsMake(-20, 0, 0, 0)];

How to create a Tab Bar appear on the left instead of the Bottom/Top?

Hey guys here is my dilemma. I am trying to create a tab bar that spans top to bottom anchored at the left side instead of left to right anchored at the bottom. I created a toolbar item that places the bar exactly where I want it but I want the tab bar to be the same, with the same functionality except of course with the hairline in place, and the bar items lining up top to bottom.
This is my code for the tool bar, I know the tab bar will be coded similarly, I just hit a slump.
UIToolbar *toolBarLeft = [[UIToolbar alloc] init];
toolBarLeft.frame = CGRectMake(0, 20, 50, 568);
toolBarLeft.layer.borderColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor].CGColor;
toolBarLeft.layer.borderWidth = 0.5f;
[self.view addSubview:toolBarLeft];
I appreciate the help guys!
The gist of what you need to do is this:
Subclass UITabBarController.
Make sure the default tabBar property's hidden property gets set to YES (so its hidden) and stays that way.
Add any custom view you want to use as the tabbar to this subclass's view property (just as you'd add a view as a subview to a UIViewController).
The subview you add in step 3 should respond to touches and have a delegate property. The UITabBarController subclass should delegate the view so it can respond to different tabs being selected (as well as many other things).
As long as the navigation is logical and easy to understand, your app won't be rejected simply for modifying how a tab bar works.
ADDENDUM:
For step 3, given you want tabs stacked vertically, I'd actually recommend a UITableView subclass where the value returned from tableView:heightForRowAtIndexPath: is calculated something like this:
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath*)indexPath {
CGFloat totalHeight = tableView.frame.size.height;
CGFloat totalTabs = (CGFloat)[tableView numberOfRowsInSection:0];
return totalHeight/totalTabs;
}
And scrolling is disabled.
Because now when tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath: is fired, we can tell the tab bar controller: tabBarController.selectedIndex = indexPath.row;

iOS 7 TableView in a ViewController and NavigationBar blurred effect

I started building a TableView in my app by using a TableViewController in a storyboard. When you do this, you have a very cool effect when you scroll down your list : the cells moving behind the nav bar get blurred.
Some time later, I had to move from this TableViewController to a ViewController with a TableView inside (I had to add other views at the bottom of the table).
In order to avoid having the first cells hidden by the navigation bar (being over it), I added constraints to the Top and Bottom Layout Guides, and to the left and right edges of the view.
This works fine, but I lost the cool blurred scrolling effect : the cells seem to be disappearing before going behind the navigation bar.
I've seen workarounds with people not using constraints and putting magic numbers in interface builder. I cannot do this, first because I dislike it, and second because I have to be iOS 6 compatible.
What did I miss to be able to benefit again from the blurred navigation bar effect ?
You have to manually adjust the contentInset of the table view and make sure the table view frame origin is 0, 0.
In this way the table view will be below the navigation bar, but there will be some margin between the content and the scroll view edges (the content gets shifted down).
I advise you to use the topLayoutGuide property of the view controller to set the right contentInsets, instead of hard coding 64 (status bar + navigation bar).
There's also bottomLayoutGuide, which you should use in case of UITapBars.
Here is some sample code (viewDidLoad should be fine):
// Set edge insets
CGFloat topLayoutGuide = self.topLayoutGuide.length;
tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(topLayoutGuide, 0, 0, 0);
By the way, this properties of UIViewController might help you (you should not need to change their default values, but I don't know what your view hierarchy is):
automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets
edgesForExtendedLayout
extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars
The tableView needs to be full screen. That is underneath the top and bottom bars. Note don't use the top and bottom layout guides as they are used for positioning relative to the bars not underneath.
Then you need to manually set the content inset of the tableview. This sets the initial scroll position to under the top bar.
Something like:
CGSize statusBarSize = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] statusBarFrame].size;
CGFloat h=MIN(statusBarSize.width, statusBarSize.height);
UIEdgeInsets e = UIEdgeInsetsMake(self.navigationController.navigationBar.bounds.size.height + h,
0.0f,
0.0f,
0.0f);
self.tableView.contentInset = e;
Not you get this functionality for free when using a tableView controller and the "Automatically Adjust content inset" settings
You probably have the coordinates of your tableView not set to (0, 0) to map to those of the viewController.view.frame or viewController.view.bounds. If you have done that, try setting
self.navigationController.navigationBar.translucent = YES;
UIViewController property edgesForExtendedLayout does the trick. If you are using storyboards just make sure Extended Edges Under Top Bars is on (and it is by default).
If you are creating your view controller programmatically try this:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdgeAll;
}
And of course, your table view needs to have proper autoresizing mask/layout constraints
edgesForExtendedLayout is not what you want here, as this will limit the table view underneath the navigation bar. In iOS 7, the view controllers uses fullscreen by default, and the property controlling where the tableview content starts is automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets. This should be YES by default, so check if it is somehow set to NO, or try setting it explicitly.

iOS 7 Custom TableView Is Under TabBar

Im trying port my app to iOS7, but my custom TableViewController is showing the last row (cell) under the TabBar :(
Im searching a lot for it, but i dont find any solution. Can anyone help me?
My Custom Table View class
The error is shown in the blow screenshot (only is showing a part of last product because im draging to up to show the hidden product under the tabbar):
Thanks.
I've got the same problem and solved it using storyboard.
At Tab Bar Controller, go to attribute inspector, Simulated Metrics, and set the Bottom Bar to Opaque Tab Bar. That's it!
See image bellow for description.
Saudações! (Greetings!)
I found the answer to your question on another post, answered by dariaa, here:
Tab Bar covers TableView cells in iOS7
It worked great for me.
Please no credit for me, because I'm not the original guy who solved it.
In your custom TableViewController, add these two lines under [super viewDidLoad]:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdgeAll;
self.tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0., 0., CGRectGetHeight(self.tabBarController.tabBar.frame), 0);
}
My friends, I cannot tell you how badly I struggled from this. Not a single re-configuration of Story Board never helped me. The issue was exactly like in Original Post, I've managed to fix it using:
for swift 3
self.edgesForExtendedLayout = []
for objective-c
self.edgesForExtendedLayout = NO;
2 lines in viewDidLoad and that's it !
self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdgeAll;
self.tableview.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0.0f, 0.0f, CGRectGetHeight(self.tabBarController.tabBar.frame), 0.0f);
In iOS 7 viewController uses full height. There is a property introduced as
self.automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets = NO;
set it to no. then check, or set UIEdgeInset if is not set right after it.
UIEdgeInsetsMake(top, left, bottom, right)
See here
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/userexperience/conceptual/TransitionGuide/AppearanceCustomization.html
Edit: try also this
self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdgeNone;
The root cause of this problem is that automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets is effective only on the First scroll view in your VC's view Hierarchy. It is not documented by Apple, but it is the only way the VC will detect the scroll view needing to be modified unless you're using a UITableViewController.
So in order to fix your issue without manually adjusting the insets, do this:
Make sure "Adjust Scroll View Insets" is checked.
Make sure that the tableView is the first subview in the view Hierarchy.
(Move it upwards above all other elements)
UIViewController has two new properties to assist you : topLayoutGuide and bottomLayoutGuide. They return the height of the parent view controller's controls you need to avoid. In this case, bottomLayoutGuide will return the offset of the tab bar.
Your custom view controller is probably overriding a method and not invoking super's implementation where this would be done for you. I am guessing you are installing AutoLayout constraints or setting a view's frame manually to fill the view. You just need to include the value from [bottomLayoutGuide length] to your layout calculation. If you support rotation, you should update that value in willAnimateRotationToInterfaceOrientation:duration:.
UINavigationController and UITabBarController both have a transparency flag that can be set programmatically or in the storyboard.
The UINavigationController also has two flags that control if the content extends under the top or bottom bar. Again you can set them programmatically or in the storyboard. This will apply to all subviews.
Each UIViewController can set its own preference in code. The property is called edgesForExtendedLayout and you can set up all combinations.
Using those properties will allow AutoLayout and Springs'n'Struts to adjust the views the way you want them regardless of the device.
There are a lot more new properties in UIViewController that you will want to have a look at.
Try the following:
if ([self respondsToSelector:#selector(edgesForExtendedLayout)])
self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdgeBottom;
I've got the same problem. One solution to it is to make the ToolBar not Translucent. Here's how to do it:
First select the tool bar from the document viewer
like here
Then uncheck Translucent like here
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
The problem was masked using:
-(void)viewDidLayoutSubviews
{
[super viewDidLayoutSubviews];
self.tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, 112, 0);
}
But it doesn't solve, because on each iPhone and on each app tableview i have a different space on bottom.
So this is a poor solution.
I dont know a way to solve it.
I solved my problem now, changing my BaseTableViewController to inherit from UIViewController to UITableViewController.
But using a TableView inside a UIViewController is not solved :(
Thanks.
maybe is not a right answer, also for that reason I post this answer so you can tell me if this answer could be a possible solution.
In my case, I like the translucent effect, so I have added a footer in the table and I have modified the scrollIndicators.
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
[super viewDidLoad];
UIView *footer = [[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.agendaItemsTable.frame.size.width, self.tabBarController.tabBar.frame.size.height)];
self.agendaItemsTable.tableFooterView = footer;
self.agendaItemsTable.scrollIndicatorInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, self.tabBarController.tabBar.frame.size.height, 0);
}
What do you think?
I had the same problem, and the up-voted answers did not solve it. See my answer to a similar question, Tab Bar covers TableView cells in iOS7.
I solved the issue by manually setting the table view's frame in the table view controller's viewWillAppear: method to the height of the screen - (status bar height + nav bar height + tab bar height).
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
// Adjust height of tableview (does not resize correctly in iOS 7)
CGRect tableViewFrame = self.tableView.frame;
tableViewFrame.size.height = [self heightForTableView];
self.tableView.frame = tableViewFrame;
}
- (CGFloat)heightForTableView
{
return CGRectGetHeight([[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]) -
(CGRectGetHeight([[UIApplication sharedApplication] statusBarFrame]) +
CGRectGetHeight(self.navigationController.navigationBar.frame) +
CGRectGetHeight(self.tabBarController.tabBar.frame));
}
If anyone finds a better solution to this problem, please share!
For those like xarly who want the translucent effect, and for an Autolayout solution (without setting frames), see my answer here https://stackoverflow.com/a/26419986/1158074
I had a similar problem with collection view. Changing the collection view frame and content inset below fixed it for me...
guard let cv = collectionView,
let tabBar = tabBarController?.tabBar else { return }
// Resize collection view for tab bar
let adjustedFrame = CGRect(origin: cv.frame.origin,
size: CGSize(width: cv.frame.width, height: cv.frame.height - tabBar.frame.height))
cv.frame = adjustedFrame
// Adjust content inset for tab bar
let adjustedContentInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, tabBar.frame.height, 0)
cv.contentInset = adjustedContentInsets
cv.scrollIndicatorInsets = adjustedContentInsets
Good luck!

Black bar flashes at top of UITableView when pushing to view with "Hides Bottom Bar When Pushed" in IB

This is a weird error that may just be an issue in Xcode for all I know. I have a tab bar controller where the first view is a UITableView with (obviously) a number of cells. When you select a cell, I've set up a segue on the MainStoryboard to go to a detail view controller. I want the tab bar to be hidden when I go to the detail view, so I went into the storyboard, chose my detail view, and clicked "Hides Bottom Bar on Push" in the editor screen that starts with "Simulated Metrics."
Everything works just fine, except that when I tap on a cell, a black bar flashes at the top of the UITableView screen, dropping the tableview cells down (as if the cells are falling down below the tab bar at the bottom), just before the screen pushes over to the detail view. The effect isn't harmful at all, but it's very disconcerting, and I'd like to smooth that out.
The only fix I've found is to uncheck the "Hides Bottom Bar when Pushed" option on the storyboard. That indeed does get rid of that black bar flash, but of course the tab bar stays on the screen when I go to the detail view, which is what I don't want.
Any ideas?
Just for completeness' sake, I went ahead and ran
[self.navigationController setToolbarHidden:YES animated: YES];
on the detail view controller's viewWillAppear method (and even tried it with the storyboard option both on and off), but there was no difference. The toolbar did indeed hide just fine, but I still got that black line at the top. So weird.
I know it is too late !!! I ran into same issue. It seems like the Auto resizing mask for the view was incorrect to be exact the UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleTopMargin. I checked this on in the xib file. If you are trying to do it in code make sure this flag -UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleTopMargin - is not included in the autoresizing mask.
Hope this will help some one in the future
I know it is a bit late, but I have same problem and I can't solve it with any of the previous answers. (I suppose this is the reason non was accepted).
The problem is that view size of the SecondViewController is same as view size of a previous ViewController, so too small to fit in a ViewController with Toolbar hidden. Thats why black background of a UITabBarController is visible at the top when transition is happening, and on a viewDidAppear view will stretch on right size.
For me it help to subclass root UITabBarController and set background color to same background color as SecondViewController has.
class RootViewController: UITabBarController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.view.backgroundColor = Style.backgroundColor
}
}
Then you can leave checkbox checked inside storyboard and it will look ok.
P.S.
If you have some views, that is position on the bottom part of the view, you need to set bottom constraints so they are smaller by 49 (because this is the height of the toolbar), and then on viewDidAppear set the right constraint.
For example:
I have view that need to be position 44 px from bottom edge. Before, I have constraint set to 44 and I have some strange behaviour of that view. It was placed to height and then jump on the right place.
I fix this with setting constraint to -5 (44-49), and then in viewDidAppear set the constraint back to 44. Now I have normal behaviour of that view.
Wow I just had the same issue now, very painful, and no info on the net about it.
Anyway, a simple workaround for me was to change the current view's Frame moving the y coordinates up and making the height bigger by the height of the tab bar. This fixed the problem if done straight after pushing the new view onto the navigation controller. Also, there was no need to fix the Frame afterwards (it must be updated when the view is shown again).
MonoTouch code:
UIViewController viewControllerToPush = new MyViewController();
viewControllerToPush.HidesBottomBarWhenPushed = true; // I had this in the MyViewController's constructor, doesn't make any difference
this.NavigationController.PushViewController(viewControllerToPush, true);
float offset = this.TabBarController.TabBar.Frame.Height;
this.View.Frame = new System.Drawing.RectangleF(0, -offset, this.View.Frame.Width, this.View.Frame.Height + offset);
Objective C code (untested, just a translation of the monotouch code):
UIViewController *viewControllerToPush = [MyViewController new];
viewControllerToPush.hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = YES; viewControllerToPush.hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = YES;
float offset = self.tabBarController.tabBar.frame.size.height; float offset = self.tabBarController.tabBar.frame.size.height;
self.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, -offset, self.view.frame.width, self.view.frame.height + offset); self.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, -offset, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height + offset);
Do this in viewWillAppear of detailViewController, it should work fine
subclass your navigation controller, or just find the navigation bar
override func viewDidAppear(animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(animated)
let backdropEffectView = navigationBar.subviews[0].subviews[0].subviews[0] //_UIBackdropEffectView
let visualEffectView: UIVisualEffectView = UIVisualEffectView(effect: UIBlurEffect(style: .Light))
visualEffectView.frame = backdropEffectView.frame
backdropEffectView.superview?.insertSubview(visualEffectView, aboveSubview: backdropEffectView)
backdropEffectView.removeFromSuperview()
}
