Why is there extra padding at the top of my UITableView with style UITableViewStyleGrouped in iOS7

Question

Starting in iOS7, there is additional space at the top of my UITableView\'s which have a style UITableViewStyleGrouped.

Here is an example:<

Answer 1

override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
        self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdge.None

 //  OR

self.sampleTableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(-64, 0, 0, 0);

   //OR

 self.automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets = false
        }

Answer 2

To be specific, to remove tableviewHeader space from top i made these changes:

YouStoryboard.storyboard > YouViewController > Select TableView > Size inspector > Content insets - Set it to never.

Answer 3

self.automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets = NO;

try, you can deal with it!

Answer 4

So I was trying every method here, and this time none of them helped. My case was a grouped table view on iOS 9. I don't really know why and how I found out this one, but for me, setting the tableViewHeader with a UIView with at least 0.01 height worked out. CGRectZero didn't help, nothing really helped:

tableView.tableHeaderView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0.0, y: 0.0, width: 0.0, height: 0.01))

Answer 5

This is the solution for iOS 10 using Swift 3:

You can get rid of top and bottom paddings by implementing the following methods from the UITableViewDelegate.

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

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, heightForFooterInSection section: Int) -> CGFloat
{
   return CGFloat.leastNormalMagnitude
}

Answer 6

I think making UIEdgeInsets -35 0 0 0 is tedious. In my case, I implemented tableView: heightForHeaderInSection: method and it has a potential to return 0.

When I changed 0 to 0.1f, the problem just went away.
