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

try something like this:

[self.tableView addSubview:overlayView];
overlayView.layer.zPosition = self.tableView.backgroundView.layer.zPosition + 1;
