Question

My iPad app uses a DetailView, which is embedded in a TabBarControl to switch between multiple data views.

The DetailView is designed as TableViewController, which has a large header view (to add charts later, the header view makes up approximately 40% of the vertical space) and a toolbar on top.

How can I prevent to scroll the toolbar and header out of the view window when the table has more rows that can be displayed?

I want to have the table rows scrollable but fixed header and toolbar.

What improvement to my design would you suggest?

Thank you in advance!

Don’t use a UITableViewController, simply create a subclass of a UIViewController. In viewDidLoad just add your header views to the UIViewControllers view and add a UITableView below the header views. This way only the UITableView scrolls and your header views have a fixed position.
