How to ensure Search bar sticks to the top in iPhone SDK? - iphone

I have a table view along with search bar.
I want to ensure that while scrolling the tableview, the searchbar stays on top - always.
How can this be achieved?

I suggest you to Keep both of them separated.

You have to return your search bar in the table's delegate callback
- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
Note: don't forget to implement tableView:heightForHeaderInSection:

Pinterest's first tab is UITableView or UIWebView?

I wonder which view is used in the next image?
UITableView or UIWebView?
I always wondered how one can tell if a view is embedded inside a web view or not.
Anyway, anyone knows the answer for this specific view?
You can set individual height to individual UITableViewCell using this delegate Method
-(CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath;

Indexed UITableView without section header

I'd like to implement a grouped and indexed UITableView without section headers.
I'm using sectionIndexTitlesForTableView:(UITableView *)tableView to return my titles.
I also implemented tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section and returned nil as well as tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section and returned 0.0f.
Both doesn't remove the section headers. There is still a space between the different sections.
I had the same problem and could not find a solution. In the end, I had to subclass UIViewController (not UITableViewController) and use a UITableView with transparent background and the style set to UITableViewStylePlain. Then, I created custom cells for the first and the last row (with rounded corners) and some transparent margin left and right. I can give you more details if you want, but as it does not answer your question straight, I'll just share this link for now.

Tool bar below table view

I need some clever hints here :)
I need to add a tool bar to my page containing a table view. If the table does not fill up the entire page I need the tool bar to be positioned at the bottom at the page but if the table is longer than the page I need the tool bar to be positioned at the end of the table.
What to do?! :/
Thanks a lot for any help,

Use the footer view of UITableViewDelegate....
- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section
Simply return a view from this and it will be placed at the bottom of the specified section (either a single section or your last one).
Also use..
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section
To tell the Table view the height of the view.

Custom Section Title View for UITableView

In some apps such as Cool Iris, LiveShare, i see them using custom views for their plain UITableView section titles. Is there a way to replace the standard section title bar with a custom view?
In order to customize the look of your section header, there are two methods you will probably want to use.
- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
and
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
These are both found in the UITableView delegate protocol. The first will let you create a custom view to display as your section header. The second just makes sure you get the size you want for it so that your view doesn't get cut off

Displaying both section header and custom view for table section header

I have a table view with multiple sections. I want to display different section header titles and want to add a label on the right corner of each section at a right margin of 4px.
Can I implement both
- (NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)iTableView titleForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)iSection
- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
to achieve this?
Only one of them will ever get called successfully. tableView:viewForHeaderInSection: will get precedence.
Define a view with a title label and another label that sits on the right corner and return it in tableView:viewForHeaderInSection: with the values set.
