In my project,i have a 1.MovieplayerView,2.a label with dynamic content,3.a tableView with variable number of rows.

I was doing this with all these views in scrollView.But i always have the issue with dynamic height of the label.it sometime overlaps the tableView.

I came to know that we can use customView as the tableView header.How this can be done with variable content Height and autolayout?I am new to iOS.Any suggestion ??

I know how to add a view as the header to a table.But when the contents in the view changes,it overlaps the contents of the tableView.

I went through How to resize superview to fit all subviews with autolayout?,How do I set the height of tableHeaderView (UITableView) with autolayout?

Can some one give a simple example on how to do this?Or tell me if it is better to use a scrollview and add all these views as its subviews? any suggestion would be realy helpful.Thanks.

In viewDidAppear,
1. Get the height of the dynamic content, then set the height of your tableHeaderView accordingly. 2. Set the headerView again so the table view can refresh: self.tableView.tableHeaderView = headerView

It's hard to interpret your question regarding your use of the scroll view. If what you want is a custom view as the table view header, you could override this method in your table view class: 

- (UITableViewHeaderFooterView *)headerViewForSection:(NSInteger)section

Try using following code is this what u want to achieve can u clearify me please

-(UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
    UIView *view = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, tableView.frame.size.width, 40)];

    UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 5, 200, 40)];
    NSString *string = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"/ %@",selectedCategory];
    label.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica" size:15.0];
    label.textColor = ThemeColor;
    [label setText:string];
    [view addSubview:label];

    [view setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:0.933f green:0.933f blue:0.933f alpha:1.00f]];
    return view;
}

Don't forget to place this in nib of UITableView

  • Tanq for your effort nischal..but this question was asked 3 months ago.I added all those things(1.MovieplayerView,2.a label with dynamic content,3.a tableView with variable number of rows.)as the subview of uitableview header.It is working well.+1 for the answer.:) – abhimuralidharan Jun 22 '15 at 05:52
  • you are welcome dude i saw it on stack overflow active list so that i answered it. – Nischal Hada Jun 22 '15 at 05:59
  • if u find the answer appropriate the u can accept it too . i have gave u +1 too – Nischal Hada Jun 22 '15 at 05:59
  • This code alone won't work well.I had to reload the table,get the tableview height,label height etc and reset the tableVIew header frame.Also the autolayout constraints should work well.Here i have one tableview inside another tableview header.But it is better to use this method rather than using a scrollview to do this.Scrollview+autolayout is complicated. – abhimuralidharan Jun 22 '15 at 06:07
