Is it possible to disable floating headers in UITableView with UITableViewStylePlain?

Question

I\'m using a UITableView to layout content \'pages\'. I\'m using the headers of the table view to layout certain images etc. and I\'d prefer it if they didn\'t

Maybe you could use scrollViewDidScroll on the tableView and change the contentInset based on the current visible header.

It seems to work for my use case!

extension ViewController : UIScrollViewDelegate{

    func scrollViewDidScroll(_ scrollView: UIScrollView) {
        guard   let tableView = scrollView as? UITableView,
            let visible = tableView.indexPathsForVisibleRows,
            let first = visible.first else {
            return
        }

        let headerHeight = tableView.rectForHeader(inSection: first.section).size.height
        let offset =  max(min(0, -tableView.contentOffset.y), -headerHeight)
        self.tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(offset, 0, -offset, 0)
   }
}
