UIButton in a UITableView header ignores most touches

Question

I\'ve got a button that I\'m adding as a subview of a table view\'s tableHeaderView. The button appears fine, and tap-and-holding on it works intermittently - for the most p

Answer 1

Strangely enough, but the table header view is apparently resized incorrectly. I use auto layout, so autoresizing mask was not an option for me. After inspecting my view hierarchy:

and noticed that my custom header view had incorrect height, so only less then half of it was tappable (see highlighted view):

Manual updating of its height fixed the problem:

- (void)viewDidLayoutSubviews {
    CGRect frame = self.tableView.tableHeaderView.frame;
    frame.size.height = 116.0;
    self.tableView.tableHeaderView.frame = frame;
}

Also, the table view header height can become invalid after the orientation is changed. This problem also can be fixed with the provided solution.
