Question

The solution is probably very simple, but I couldn\'t just find it .. !

Working with storyboard (iOS 5), I have a tableViewController, and a designed ST

FYI (would comment if I could), if you are overriding a Grouped static UITableView from the Storyboard, then you'll also need to override the Header & Footer views & heights for each section you are modifying/hiding.

I also needed to set the return value for the "GetHeight" methods to something other than zero - implying that a zero value means something else (autolayout, or "not set" or the like).

The below code is in Xamarin iOS C#, but translates directly to the appropriate Obj-C methods:

    public override void WillDisplayHeaderView(UITableView tableView, UIView headerView, nint section)
    {
        if (section == 0)
        {
            headerView = new UIView(new CGRect(0,0,0,0));
        }
    }

    public override nfloat GetHeightForHeader(UITableView tableView, nint section)
    {
        if (section == 0)
        {
            return 1f;
        }
        return base.GetHeightForHeader(tableView, section);
    }

    public override void WillDisplayFooterView(UITableView tableView, UIView footerView, nint section)
    {
        if (section == 0)
        {
            footerView = new UIView(new CGRect(0, 0, 0, 0));
        }
    }

    public override nfloat GetHeightForFooter(UITableView tableView, nint section)
    {
        if (section == 0)
        {
            return 1f;
        }
        return base.GetHeightForFooter(tableView, section);
    }
