As other answers say you shouldn't put a tableview in a scrollview. A UITableView inherits from UIScrollView anyway so I guess that's where things get confusing. What I always do in this situation is:

1) Subclass UITableViewController and include a property UIView *headView.

2) In the parent UIViewController create all the top stuff in a container UIView

3) Initialise your custom UITableView and add the tableView's view to the view controller full size

[self.view addSubview: self.myTableView.view];

4) Set the headView to be your UIView gubbins

self.tableView.headView = myHeadViewGubbins.

5) In the tableViewController method

-(UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger *)section;

Do:

if ( section == 0 ) {
    return self.headView;
}

Now you have a table view with a bunch of other shizzle at the top.

Enjoy!

Answer 2

I have the same problem with nested UITableView and have found a work-around for this:

innerTableView.scrollEnabled = YES;
innerTableView.alwaysBounceVertical = NO;

You'll need to set the height of the inner table view to match with the total height of its cells so that it'll not scroll when user scrolling the outer view.

Hope this helps.
