Question

So, I have implemented this method to add a footer to my table view:

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
    return 60;
}

This is the result:

Now, you see, there are two problems:

1) I would like to add a button inside the table view footer but when I drag a button control in the storyboard, it does not work. How to add a button there?

2) As you can see, the footer is transparent and there is a table view cell visible under it. I would like there to be no cells under the footer (so the last visible cell would be the one above the footer). Second, I would like the footer not to be transparent.

I am using Xcode 4.2 and Snow Leopard.

Answer 1

-(CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section

is a delegate method. Try instead to access sectionFooterHeight property of your table.

To add a button you may consider adding a custom view to your footer. You can access tableFooterView and assign a custom view to it.
