使用UITableViewController与将UITableView放入UIViewController的优缺点

Question

I am designing an tab bar / navigation style app and I've added TableViews using both methods. Is there a preferred method and what are the pros and cons of using a UITableViewController vs putting UITableView inside UIViewController

I will need navigation item bars on top, informational labels, and navigation buttons on the bottom.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

UITableViewController can have static cells. TableView in a ViewController cannot.

Your labels will scroll with the tableview if you use a TableViewController unless you implement extra code to prevent it. With a UITableView the labels on top would stay in place automatically when scrolling.

Navigation Bar on top will always remain on top regardless.
