When UITableView is scrolled, the section header gets left behind

[timominous]

Scrolling the tableview up leaves the section header at the bottom of the frame of the header and doesn't scroll along with the tableview. Is this fixable?

[Amnell]

Good find. This seems to be due to the tableView's contentInset not being changed while scrolling down.

I don't have a fix for this at this point.

[timominous]

I think I have a possible fix for this.

I've revisited this bug and sat down for a good couple of hours but I can't seem to find a good solution. It's a known bug without a clear workaround. Every "fix" creates another bug.

I've found a couple of blog posts and stack overflow posts that tries to fix this in other projects.
One is This blog post where a subclass of a uitableview repositions each table header view. May work for APParallaxHeader, but i don't think it's something that could be automatically integrated into the project. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong

The other fix is fixing the contentInset. I've already tried this for APParallaxHeader, and it breaks the scroll inertia and makes the parallax feel sluggish and buggy.

Has anyone made any progress on this?

It doesn't help when you guys leave +1 comment. It just annoys everyone who's watching the thread

[lukeirvin]

Has anyone solved this or is there an ETA?

[brucedaniel]

MobileMon: almost as annoying as the bug

Hi!
I solved this problem 1 year ago. Sorry, that I forgot to upload the code. Here it is.

#pragma mark - UITableView HackFix

• (void)fixTableView
  {
  [self.theTableView setContentInset:UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, self.theTableView.contentInset.left, self.theTableView.contentInset.bottom, self.theTableView.contentInset.right)];

  if (self.interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait || self.interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown)
  {
  [self.theTableView setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 20, [HelperFunctionForFloat screenShorterSizeValue],[HelperFunctionForFloat screenLongerSizeValue]-20)];
  }

  if (self.interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft || self.interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight)
  {
  [self.theTableView setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 20, [HelperFunctionForFloat screenLongerSizeValue], [HelperFunctionForFloat screenShorterSizeValue]-20)];
  }

}

[lukeirvin]

Mind sharing these as well? [HelperFunctionForFloat screenShorterSizeValue],[HelperFunctionForFloat screenLongerSizeValue]

[UBBproject]

Ok.

@implementation HelperFunctionForFloat

• (float)screenShorterSizeValue
  {
  float x;

  if ([[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.width > [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height)
  x = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height;
  else x = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.width;

  // NSLog(@"shorter %f",x);

  return x;

}

• (float)screenLongerSizeValue
  {
  float y;

  if ([[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.width > [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height)
  y = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.width;
  else y = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height;

  // NSLog(@"longer %f",y);

  return y;

}

Still not scrolling for me

[robertofrontado]

This worked for me http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5466097/section-headers-in-uitableview-when-inset-of-tableview-is-changed

[akshaypakanati]

@robertofrontado it is working but there is a missing of smoothness in scrolling.
@Amnell is there any update on this bug..

is there anyone who fixed this bug??

[Ronaldoh1]

Is there an update for this bug? I'm also experiencing the same problem.

[RishabhTayal]

Have you tried setting the tableView type as grouped? I haven't tried it myself though.

[Ronaldoh1]

i need the header to stick to the top of the tableview

[RishabhTayal]

@Ronaldoh1 I believe that should fix the issue. Can you please try that?

[Amnell]

@RishabhTayal Grouped wont give you a sticky header thou, and thats the main issue with this bug.

I have not been able to find a solution for this bug, and I'm very certain that it is not possible to solve it and maintain a natural deceleration/inertia.

[Ronaldoh1]

the sticky header doesn't stay with group style
:(
