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

As UITableViewController is a subclass of UIViewController, you need to add your desired view to its superview.

Swift:
self.view.superview?.addSubview(viewTobeAdded)

Objective C:
[self.view.superview addSubview: viewTobeAdded];
