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

Swift 4 answer     If the table view is selected in interface builder and in the attributes inspector the style  Grouped  is selected  enter the following code in your view controller to fix the extra header space issue    func tableView   tableView  UITableView  heightForHeaderInSection section  Int  - gt  CGFloat       return CGFloat leastNonzeroMagnitude

Please check if the tableview is grouped plain  In my case I have changed the style to plain and it worked  Now the extra spacing above the header has disappeared

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

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

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

A lot of the previous answers above are too hacky  They would break at anytime in the future if Apple decides to fix this unexpected behavior   Root of the issue    a UITableView doesn t like to have a header with a height of 0 0  If what s you re trying to do is to have a header with a height of 0  you can jump to the solution  even if later you assign a non 0 0 height to your header  a UITableView doesn t like to be assigned a header with a height of 0 0 at first    Solution   Then  the most simple and reliable fix is to ensure that your header height is not 0 when you assign it to your table view   Something like this would work      Replace UIView with whatever class you re using as your header below  UIView  tableViewHeaderView     UIView alloc  initWithFrame CGRectMake 0 0  0 0  self tableView bounds size width  CGFLOAT MIN    self tableView tableHeaderView   tableViewHeaderView    Something like this would lead to the issue at some point  typically  after a scroll       Replace UIView with whatever class you re using as your header below  UIView  tableViewHeaderView     UIView alloc  initWithFrame CGRectZero   self tableView tableHeaderView   tableViewHeaderView

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

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

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

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

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 have found the cause of my original bug and created a sample project showcasing it  I believe there is an iOS7 bug    As of iOS7  if you create a UITableView with the Grouped style  but do not have a delegate set on first layout  then you set a delegate and call reloadData  there will be a 35px space at the top that will never go away    See this project I made showcasing the bug  https   github com esilverberg TableViewDelayedDelegateBug  Specifically this file  https   github com esilverberg TableViewDelayedDelegateBug blob master TableViewDelayedDelegateBug ViewController m  If line 24 is active    self performSelector  selector updateDelegate  withObject nil afterDelay 0 0     there will be an extra 35 px space at the top  If line 27 is active and 24 is commented out    self tableView delegate   self    no space at the top  It s like the tableView is caching a result somewhere and not redrawing itself after the delegate is set and reloadData is called

When you use UITableView Style grouped or UITableView Style InsetGrouped the tableview will automatically add a top inset padding to the  section header  if no  tableview header  is present  the fix is simple    self tableview tableFooterView   UIView frame  CGRect init origin   zero  size  CGSize init width  tableview frame size width  height  1     self tableview tableHeaderView   UIView frame  CGRect init origin   zero  size  CGSize init width  tableview frame size width  height  1      If you are using UITableView Style Plain   self tableview contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior    never   Will generally be sufficient

User · Answer

if you choose the style of UITableViewStyleGrouped you need to implement the Header and Footer height delegate method and the return value need greater than 0  like this   -  CGFloat tableView  UITableView   tableView heightForHeaderInSection  NSInteger section      return CGFLOAT MIN     -  CGFloat tableView  UITableView   tableView heightForFooterInSection  NSInteger section      return CGFLOAT MIN

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

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

Another quick comment     even in XCode 6 1  there is a bug with vertical spaces appearing at the top of UIScrollViews  UITextViews and UITableViews     Sometimes  the only way to fix this issue is to go into the Storyboard and drag the problem control so it s no longer the first subview on the page      My thanks to Oded for pointing me in this direction    I m posting this comment  just to add a few screenshots  to demonstrate the symptoms and fix

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
