Resizing tableview inside of view controller

[thomashocking]

Hi, I'm sorry if this is not the correct place to ask for specific help.

I was wondering if there is a way to add a view above the tableview and have the tableview resize to under the added view.

I attached a screen shot of what I'm trying to do. The scroll bar and content are still under the blue view so if I scroll up, the view hides the content. I was thinking I could just add a constraint from the top of the tableview and the bottom of the blue view. But I'm not sure if that'll break anything else.

Thanks

Not sure if this fixes your problem, but for readability and real estate maximisation, I'd recommend that you use a tableHeaderView, or tableFooterView, instead of using a fixed view.

Otherwise, if you still need to have a fixed view, the best way is to add it to the table view, and scroll it in the opposite direction of the tableview scroll.

One even easier way is to change the tableView's contentInset, and give to top the height value of your custom vien. If that isn't enough and you really need a static container at the top, I would suggest to fork the project and add it to you SLKTextViewController super class directly and modify the internal view constraints.
