iOS Overlay View - Masking UITableViewController with a view is partially masking UITableViewController - iphone

Question

iPhone - 5.1(9B176)
I have been encountering inconsistent behaviour in overlaying a mask view on top of a UITableViewController as shown in picture below. Anyone encountered this behaviour, if yes, please suggest any solutions used?
Below is the code i have used to add mask view:
//Add the overlay view.
if(ovController == nil) {
NSString *cellIdentifier = #"overlayVC";
ovController = [[self storyboard] instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
}
CGFloat yaxis = self.navigationController.navigationBar.frame.size.height;
CGFloat width = self.view.frame.size.width;
CGFloat height = self.view.frame.size.height;
CGRect frame = CGRectMake(0, yaxis, width, height);
ovController.view.frame = frame;
ovController.view.alpha = 0.85;
ovController.delegate = self;
UIView *aboveView = self.parentViewController.view;
[self.tableView insertSubview:ovController.view aboveSubview:aboveView];
I have also tried
`[self.tableView insertSubview:ovController.view aboveSubview:self.tableView]`

Hi use something like below code
-(void) showLoadingView {
//NSLog(#">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> loading view Landscape right ");
if (loadView == nil) {
loadView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 320.0, 480.0)];
loadView.opaque = NO;
loadView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
//loadView.alpha = 0.8;
viewBack = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(95, 230, 130, 40)];
viewBack.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
viewBack.alpha = 0.7f;
viewBack.layer.masksToBounds = NO;
viewBack.layer.cornerRadius = 8;
spinningWheel = [[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(5.0, 5.0, 30.0, 30.0)];
[spinningWheel startAnimating];
// spinningWheel.activityIndicatorViewStyle = UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleWhiteLarge;
[viewBack addSubview:spinningWheel];
[spinningWheel release];
UILabel *lblLoading = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(23, 6, 110, 25)];
lblLoading.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
lblLoading.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"Helvetica-Bold" size:16.0];
lblLoading.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;
lblLoading.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
lblLoading.text = #"Loading...";
[viewBack addSubview:lblLoading];
[loadView addSubview:viewBack];
}
if ([[UIDevice currentDevice] userInterfaceIdiom] == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone) {
loadView.frame = iphoneFrame;
viewBack.frame = loadiPhone;
}
else
{
loadView.frame = ipadFrame;
viewBack.frame = loadiPad;
}
[self.window addSubview:loadView];
}
-(void) hideLoadingView {
[loadView removeFromSuperview];
}
declare this methods in you APPdelegate class so you can call it from any view in your code.
here i have set a view over the window not in view this surelu solve your problem!!!!
