How to add a UIView above the current UITableViewController

Question

I have difficulty adding a subview (UIView) from within the viewDidLoad method of a UITableViewController

This works:

[self.view addSubview:self.prog         


        

Answer 1

You can increase the zPosition of the layer of your view.

This will make it display above the other views (which have a zPosition equal to 0, by default)

self.progView.layer.zPosition++;
[self.view addSubview:self.progView];
