Question

I\'ve been struggling with this now for a little while, and I want to make sure I\'m doing this the right way. For reference, I am using AutoLayout with Storyboards, and it

Answer 1

A table view header view is given to a table view via the tableView:viewForHeaderInSection: delegate method.

- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
    // create your header view here (read the docs on this method, there are some specific requirements)...

}

I don't know if it's possible to design the header view in storyboard; I guess you'd have to use an individual XIB file or do so programmatically.

In other words, I think you're headed towards creating constraints in code if you need to provide table view header views.

On the other hand, maybe you don't really need a table view header view. Maybe, what you're after is just a subview above the table view that doesn't move when the user scrolls the table. To do that, you need to re-work your view hierarchy in IB. Right now your so-called header view is inside the table view. You don't want that.

Or, since it looks like you're using static cells, you could make the top static cell take on the appearance of your so-called header view.
