UITableView is under the TabBar

Question

I have a custom UITableView with custom cells (70px height for each cell).

I have also a 49px UITabBar, but it\'s hides the tableView.

Answer 1

I ran into this issue when dealing with a table view in a navigation controller that did not have translucent bars. I performed a setup similar to the following:

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    // Without this there is some extra fast inertia when slowly
    // scrolling to the top.
    extendedLayoutIncludesOpaqueBars = true

    // Don't extend the tableview past the bottom bar, though.
    // If we do then a tab bar or bottom nav bar will block
    // content.
    edgesForExtendedLayout = [.top, .left, .right]
}

However, I later discovered that a couple of checkboxes were unchecked in a storyboard higher up the hierarchy. Specifically these two:

Checking these two boxes removed the need to care about the content insets and the layout extending behavior in that view controller
