Why is there extra padding at the top of my UITableView with style UITableViewStyleGrouped in iOS7

Question

Starting in iOS7  there is additional space at the top of my UITableView s which have a style UITableViewStyleGrouped  Here is an example   The tableview starts at the first arrow  there are 35 pixels of unexplained padding  then the green header is a UIView returned by viewForHeaderInSection  where the section is 0   Can anyone explain where this 35-pixel amount is coming from and how I can get rid of it without switching to UITableViewStylePlain   Update  Answer   In iOS 11 and later  tableView contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior    never

User · Answer

Just pin your tableview  or make it begin  at the absolute top of the view  The additional unwanted space is exactly the height of a navigation bar

User · Answer

in iOS 7 you view starts a the of the screen instead of beneath the navBar  its vry simple to set that to the bottom of ur navbar  Check THIS answer for the solution  its not the same question but very related to yours

if self automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets   NO  doesn t work for you  make sure the height of either tableview header or section header is CGFLOAT MIN not 0   For example if you want to make tableview header 0 high  you can do       CGRect frame   self tableViewHeader frame      frame size height   CGFLOAT MIN    not 0     self tableView tableHeaderView frame   frame      self tableView tableHeaderView   self tableViewHeader    Hope it helps

I noticed there are many answers to this question depending on what you re trying to do  so I d share mine in case anyone is going for something the same effect     In my view controller  I have a grouped UITableView whose tableHeaderView is composed of a 200-point tall UIScrollView  and a single attributed UILabel that contains an ad title  price  location  and time posted  Below it are the contents of the table view   With the default dimensions of a grouped table view header  the  MORE INFO  header is too far below the  5 days ago  label  I fixed it  already the above image  by overriding the heights for the header and footer of each section   -  CGFloat tableView  UITableView   tableView heightForHeaderInSection  NSInteger section       return section    kMoreInfoSection   33   UITableViewAutomaticDimension     -  CGFloat tableView  UITableView   tableView heightForFooterInSection  NSInteger section       return UITableViewAutomaticDimension      I learned about overriding the heights from  erurainon s comment in the accepted answer  and UITableViewAutomaticDimension from https   stackoverflow com a 14404104 855680  I didn t have to set self automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets to NO in my view controller unlike what the accepted answer suggests   I also already tried setting the UIEdgeInsets and giving the table view a negative value for the top  but it didn t work--the entire table view moves up  including the tableHeaderView

Make sure that you have given constraints to the table  I hadn t and faced the similar issue of having an unexplained padding at the bottom of table

According to this transition guide for iOS7 by Apple  the scroll view   s content insets is automatically adjusted   The default value of automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets is set to YES   The UIViewController which has the UITableView should set this property to NO   self automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets   NO    This will do the trick    EDIT 1    Also  one could try -   self navigationController navigationBar translucent   YES    This also removes the extra padding on the top

Yet another way of doing it    but I like it because it avoids hardcoding any height value   In a UITableViewStyleGrouped table  static or dynamic   just assign the desired height in tableView   heightForHeaderInSection   I m calculating the new height based on the bottom padding for the section header label   override func tableView tableView  UITableView  heightForHeaderInSection section  Int  - gt  CGFloat        var height   UITableViewAutomaticDimension      if section    0  let header   tableView headerViewForSection section            if let label   header textLabel                  get padding below label             let bottomPadding   header frame height - label frame origin y - label frame height                use it as top padding             height   label frame height    2   bottomPadding                       return height     Tested on iOS 9  Xcode 7 3   Hope it helps

So I was trying every method here  and this time none of them helped  My case was a grouped table view on iOS 9  I don t really know why and how I found out this one  but for me  setting the tableViewHeader with a UIView with at least 0 01 height worked out  CGRectZero didn t help  nothing really helped   tableView tableHeaderView   UIView frame  CGRect x  0 0  y  0 0  width  0 0  height  0 01

2021 Xcode 12 3 update To solve this problem one would need to disable the standard section footer  The following snippet does the job  override func tableView   tableView  UITableView  viewForFooterInSection section  Int  - gt  UIView        return nil    override func tableView   tableView  UITableView  heightForFooterInSection section  Int  - gt  CGFloat       return 0    Usage of tableView contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior    never  is completely unrelated here

User · Answer

I played around with it a bit more and it seems like this is a side-effect of setting the tableView s tableHeaderView   nil     Because my tableView has a dynamically appearing tableHeaderView  when I need to hide the tableHeaderView  instead of doing self tableView tableHeaderView   nil   I do   self tableView tableHeaderView     UIView alloc  initWithFrame CGRectMake 0 0f  0 0f  self tableView bounds size width  0 01f      I like this solution better than setting a somewhat arbitrary contentInset top because I use the contentInset top dynamically as well   Having to remember to remove an extra 35px whenever I recalculate contentInset top is tedious

I had this exact problem  but with a tableView inside a tableView cell  Nothing worked from the numerous answers from above  A very odd and simple thing worked   - Put the estimated heights before assigning the delegate for the tableView        override func awakeFromNib             super awakeFromNib            tableView estimatedRowHeight   58         tableView estimatedSectionHeaderHeight   45         tableView estimatedSectionFooterHeight   10         tableView dataSource   self         tableView delegate   self         Putting the estimates after the delegate assignment  caused my inner tableView to have an odd white space above the header  I hope it helps someone here

self automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets   NO   This was deprecated in iOS 11  so you should use new property  contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior in your code  it should fix the problem   if  available iOS 11 0           collectionView contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior    never     There is a new property on UIScrollView called contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior added in iOS 11 to determine adjust content offset

None of the previous answers worked for me  What did end up working for my situation  which was seeing that padding after dynamically adding a header to my Table View  was selecting the Navigation Bar from the Document Outline and rechecking the Translucent box  contrary to some answers that were saying to force it to be translucent   I had previously unchecked it because it had made my red look a little orange  but I could not try the solution of reordering the elements in the scene since the Table View was the only element in this scene  This solution works as long as you are okay with the Navigation Bar s color having a translucent layer over it  Hope this helps

This is the solution for iOS 10 using Swift 3   You can get rid of top and bottom paddings by implementing the following methods from the UITableViewDelegate   func tableView   tableView  UITableView  heightForHeaderInSection section  Int  - gt  CGFloat        return CGFloat leastNormalMagnitude    func tableView   tableView  UITableView  heightForFooterInSection section  Int  - gt  CGFloat      return CGFloat leastNormalMagnitude

You could detect if your app is running iOS7 or greater and add this two methods in your table view delegate  usually in your UIViewController code   - CGFloat tableView  UITableView   tableView heightForHeaderInSection  NSInteger section       return CGFLOAT MIN     - CGFloat tableView  UITableView   tableView heightForFooterInSection  NSInteger section       return CGFLOAT MIN      This maybe is not an elegant solution but works for me  Swift version   override func tableView   tableView  UITableView  heightForHeaderInSection section  Int  - gt  CGFloat       return CGFloat leastNormalMagnitude    override func tableView   tableView  UITableView  heightForFooterInSection section  Int  - gt  CGFloat       return CGFloat leastNormalMagnitude

According to the Apple documentation      When assigning a view to this property  set the height of that view to   a nonzero value  The table view respects only the height of your   view s frame rectangle  it adjusts the width of your header view   automatically to match the table view s width    Swift  5  If you have a grouped UITableView where you want a tableHeaderView   Before assigning a view to tableView tableHeaderView  set the height of that view to a nonzero value  e g      Set the initial height of your custom view to the smallest value   myTableHeaderView frame size height    leastNonzeroMagnitude     Assign your custom view to the header view tableView tableHeaderView   myTableHeaderView     Set width constraint  height should grow based on your view   tableView tableHeaderView  widthAnchor constraint equalTo  tableView widthAnchor  isActive   true   No need for magic with contentInsets or handling delegate methods

Doing below  Swift  solves the problem  but this works when you don t need a header   func tableView tableView  UITableView  heightForHeaderInSection section  Int  - gt  CGFloat       return CGFloat min     If you do  you ll have to abandon the very first section and use other for content   UITableViewDataSource implementation   func numberOfSectionsInTableView tableView  UITableView  - gt  Int       return  lt number of data sections gt  1    func tableView tableView  UITableView  numberOfRowsInSection section  Int  - gt  Int          the first section we don t use for data     if section    0           return 0               starting from 1  there are sections we use     if section    1            let dataSection   section - 1             use dataSection for your content  useful  when data provided by fetched result controller   For example         if let sectionInfo   myFRC  sections  dataSection  as  NSFetchedResultsSectionInfo               return sectionInfo numberOfObjects                      return 0    func tableView tableView  UITableView  cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath  NSIndexPath  - gt  UITableViewCell       let dataIndexPath   NSIndexPath forRow  indexPath row  inSection   indexPath section - 1           return cell using transformed dataIndexPath    func tableView tableView  UITableView  heightForHeaderInSection section  Int  - gt  CGFloat       if section    1              return your header height           return CGFloat min     func tableView tableView  UITableView  viewForHeaderInSection section  Int  - gt  UIView        if section    1              return your header view           return nil    func tableView tableView  UITableView  heightForFooterInSection section  Int  - gt  CGFloat          in my case  even when 1st section header was of zero heigh  I saw the space  an that was a footer  I did not need footer at all  so always gave zero height     return CGFloat min     And that s it  Model does not know anything about the change  because we transforms the section number upon accessing the data

My answer is going to be more general answer  but can be applied on this as well   If the root view  of the ViewController  or the first child  subview  of the root view is subclass of the UIScrollView  or UIScrollView itself   and if   self navigationController navigationBar translucent   YES    framework will automatically set pre-calculated contentInset      To avoid this you can do  self automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets   NO    but in my case I wasn t able to do this  because I was implementing SDK which has UIView component which can be used by other developers  That UIView component contains UIWebView  which has UIScrollView as the first subview   If that component is added as the first child in the UIViewController s view hierarchy  automatic insets will be applied by system   I ve fixed this by adding dummy view with frame  0 0 0 0  before adding UIWebView    In this case system didn t find subclass of the UIScrollView as the first subview and didn t apply insets

Swift  iOS I had tableview on scroll view    when I was click  Back  on the same screen  Scroll view take more space on top   to solve this I have used      self automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets   false   A Boolean value that indicates whether the view controller should automatically adjust its scroll view insets  Default value is true  which allows the view controller to adjust its scroll view insets in response to the screen areas consumed by the status bar  navigation bar  and toolbar or tab bar  Set to false if you want to manage scroll view inset adjustments yourself  such as when there is more than one scroll view in the view hierarchy

I m assuming that is just part of the new UITableViewStyleGrouped styling  It is in all grouped table views and there doesn t seem to be any direct way to control that space   If that space is being represented by a UIView  it would be possible to search through all the subviews of the UITableView to find that specific view and edit it directly  However  there is also the possibility that that space is just a hardcoded offset before headers and cells start and there won t be any way to edit it    To search through all subviews  I would run this code when the table has no cells  to make it a little easier to read the output    -  void listSubviewsOfView  UIView   view           Get the subviews of the view     NSArray  subviews    view subviews           Return if there are no subviews     if   subviews count     0  return       for  UIView  subview in subviews             NSLog        subview               List the subviews of subview          self listSubviewsOfView subview

I had faced the extra top space issue  I had to club a bunch of answers to reach the solution   5 hours of checking all answers given   first if your concerned  Table view - mode is  Group  please change it to  Plain   no need to do any changes to header or footer section  or add additional delegate methods related to them  Then in the ViewController that has your TableView in InterfaceBuilder  - Uncheck Adjust Scroll View Insets  - Uncheck Extend edges  Under Top Bars   Also  make sure you are deleting derived data and re-installing your app in simulator or phone to reflect the changes done effectively   UI changes sometimes don t reflect because of IDE also

2019 answer   You just do this  tableView contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior    never   Bizarre subtle gotchya -   Tableviews have a very strange behavior these days    On devices with a notch  XR  etc  it will without telling you add more inset BUT ONLY IF the table starts at the physical top of the screen  If you start NOT at the top of the screen  it won t do that  but Both of those cases are    unrelated  lt  lt  to safeAreaInsets         which is very confusing   All of that is totally undocumented     you can waste hours figuring this out   If you do need your measurements to start actually from the top of the screen table   in fact simply go   tableView contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior    never   A good example is obviously when you add some sort of banner or similar thing over the top of a table  which is common these days  and you just set the top inset of the table to whatever height your banner etc becomes when it s running   To do that  you must use the  tableView contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior    never   call     Bonus gotchya  Don t forget that almost always these days  you re loading some information  user pictures  description  whatever  dynamically  so you can t set such values to the final needed value until the info arrives   Another gotchya       So you d have code like   func setTableOffsetOnceFlagAreaSizeIsKnown         tableView contentInset top   yourSpecialFlagViewUpTop bounds height    override func viewDidLayoutSubviews         super viewDidLayoutSubviews       setTableOffsetOnceFlagAreaSizeIsKnown

I ve been banging my head against this one as well  Pretty sure this is an iOS7 bug  What helped me eventually  is the order of views in the xib  I had one view in which table view was displayed correctly  and another in which the table view had that extra 35px space  The only difference between then  UITableView wise   is that in the bad-displaying view UITableView was the first child  whereas in the view which was displaying correctly  it was the second    That did the trick for me  just changing the order of views  I really prefer not to add extra lines of code for a workaround
