Question

I have a TableViewController, that manages a UITableView. Now I want to make a header menu (different for the one in navigation bar by default) and a search bar (also different from the default one). The problem is that I try to drop a UIView above the TablewView, but I can’t, it always goes inside the tableview (in the storyboard).

Is it possible to do what I’m trying to do?

Thanks a lot!

You will need to use something else than UITableViewController.

Subclass UIViewController and add a tableview into it, but with a y position that is >0. Now, set your UIViewController subclass as the delegate and dataSource of that UITableView and implement all the necessary methods. ( references here and here )

You will be able to change the layout of that tableView and add whatever view you want to add to the self.view
