in iOS 7 viewForHeaderInSection section is starting from 1 not from 0

Question

I am dealing with UITableView in my project and this project is created in Xcode 4.5 and now I am working with Xcode 5, so my question is when I will run my project in iOS 6 , the viewForHeaderInSection method section is starting from 0 it's ok but If I will use iOS 7 to run viewForHeaderInSection section is starting from 1 not from 0

What is the problem is there any UITableView frame's problem or not

I can't understand what is going on

Thanks in Advance

Solution 1

Just encountered exactly the same issue, and the resolution turns out very simple.

Just implement this delegate method:

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
    return 20;
}

Form Apple UITableViewDelegate Protocol Reference, it mentioned

Discussion

The returned object can be a UILabel or UIImageView object, as well as a custom view. This method only works correctly when tableView:heightForHeaderInSection: is also implemented.

Solution 2

Swift 3 Version:

override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, heightForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> CGFloat {
    return 60
}

I was having the same problem until I realized the frame of my section header view had origin.y set to something other than zero.

Quite ridiculous that this is necessary even if you've set the table view's section header height property.

What about Auto Layout?

Yep, this is correct. Also check the UITableViewDelegate of your UITableView is not nil.

Thanks it helped me but does not make sense to override two methods for header.

Even after implement above method. I'm still facing same issue
