我应该在哪里将子视图添加到UITableViewController中的表视图下？

Question

I'm using parse's PFQueryTableViewController , which is almost exactly the same as a UITableViewController except it handles some querying in the background.

My goal is to place a static toolbar at the bottom of the screen. I decided to do this by giving tableView a smaller frame, and creating and adding my toolbar subview below the tableView , as a subview to the same view that the tableView is a subview of.

Here's a photo. I am trying to add my toolbar to the little white space at the bottom of the screen. That whitespace does NOT scroll with the table view:

I have tried [self.view addSubview: toolbar] , however, this just adds it to the tableView, and as a result, my toolbar scrolls with it. I can't seem to find any documentation on the view hierarchy for a UITableViewController. Anyone know where I should add my toolbar subview? I should also mention that all of this is sitting inside of a UINavigationController .

Answer 1

A PFQueryTableViewController (like all UITableViewController s) has a table view as its view .

If you want to have other views within the view controller, either don't use a table view controller, or subclass UINavigationController .

Alternatively, you can set the view controller's toolbarItems property, and the navigation controller will take care of making and configuring a standard toolbar.

Answer 2

implement viewFAorHeaderInSection delegate method of UITableView:

- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
 {

    UIView* customView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, tableView.frame.size.width, 90)];
    customView.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
    return customView;
 }

and heightForFooterInSection

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return 80;
}

it should solove your problem.
