Remove empty space before cells in UITableView

Question

I am currently trying to put a UITableView in a different location rather than at the top of my view controller  With this said  it is trying to add the header in the top to account for the navigation bar  but this is not needed since I do not have at the top of my controller   If I put the top left corner of the UITableView where I want the cells to be  it doesn t put the cells there     Now  if I just move the table view up so the cells are in the correct place  I get a different problem - the cells can be moved up to there when scrolling  this is with my finger above the navigation controller      When I let go  yes - the cells will go right below the search bar  but this is obviously a problem how you can bring them above it   How would I go about doing this  Is there any easier way

In my application also I ve experienced an issue like this  I ve set top edge inset of tableView zero  Also tried set false for automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets  But didn t work   Finally I got a working solution  I don t know is this the correct way  But implementing heightForHeaderInSection delegate method worked for me  You have to return a non-zero value to work this  return zero will display same space as before    override func tableView   tableView  UITableView  heightForHeaderInSection section  Int  - gt  CGFloat        return 0 1

Check your tableview frame in storyboard or xib  Mine by default has a y position value  hence the bug

NONE of the above helped me  but doing this did help   self tableView contentInset   UIEdgeInsetsMake -64  0  0  0    instead of  -64  you can put any other number depending on the height of your navigation bar

I can t say for sure but it looks like you ve got an extra UIView stuck between where the Prototype Cells begin and the top of the UITableView  My image looks exactly like yours if you remove the text lines I added in

Do the cells of the UITableView show on the empty space when you scroll down   If so  then the problem might be the inset that is added to the UITableView because of the Navigation controller you have in your view  The inset is added to the table view in order for the content to be placed below the navigation bar when no scrolling has occurred  When the table is scrolled  the content scrolls and shows under a transparent navigation bar  This behavior is of course wanted only if the table view starts directly under the navigation bar  which is not the case here    Another thing to note is that iOS adjusts the content inset only for the first view in the view hierarchy if it is UIScrollView or it s descendant  e g  UITableView and UICollectionView   If your view hierarchy includes multiple scroll views  automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets will make adjustments only to the first one    Here s how to change this behavior   a  Interface Builder   Select the view controller Open Attributes inspector There s a property called  Adjust scroll view insets  in IB s attribute inspector  when a view controller is selected  which is on by default  Uncheck this option     Image courtesy of Dheeraj D    I m not sure which Xcode version introduced this option  didn t spot it in the release notes   but it s at least available in version 5 1 1   Edit  To avoid confusion  this was the third option mentioned in the comments  b  Programmatically  Add this to i e  viewDidLoad  credits to Slavco Petkovski s answer and Cris R s comment      Objective-C self automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets   NO      Swift self automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets   false   c  This might be relevant for old schoolers  You can either fix this by adding  tableView contentInset   UIEdgeInsetsZero    Swift 3 Change tableView contentInset   UIEdgeInsets zero   Or if you are using IB and if the navigation bar is not transparent  can t tell from the screenshot    Select the view controller  Open Attributes inspector In View Controller options Extend Edges section deselect  Under Top Bars
