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

I had the same fix as arielyz. Once I moved the UITableView to be not the first subview of the parent view, it went away. My space was 20 px, not 35.

I wasn't able to recreate it in a portrait xib, only a landscape xib. I'll file a radar bug later if I can reproduce it in a simple demo app.

Answer 2

I was helped by the following:

YouStoryboard.storyboard > YouViewController > Attributes inspector > Uncheck - Adjust scroll view insets.

Answer 3

While using grouped TableView use this to avoid border cutting in viewWillAppear

self.tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(-35, 0, 0, 0);

Answer 4

Thanks to the answer by @Aurelien Porte. Here is my solution

Cause of this issue:-

1. a UITableView doesn't like to have a header with a height of 0.0. If what's you're trying to do is to have a header with a height of 0, you can jump to the solution.
2. even if later you assign a non 0.0 height to your header, a UITableView doesn't like to be assigned a header with a height of 0.0 at first.

In ViewDidLoad:-

self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdge.None

self.automaticallyAdjustsScrollViewInsets = false

No Need For Something Like This :-

self.myTableview.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(-56, 0, 0, 0)

In heightForHeaderInSection delegate:-

if section == 0
    {
        return 1
    }
    else
    {
        return 40; // your other headers height value
    }

In viewForHeaderInSection delegate :-

if section == 0 
{  
   // Note CGFloat.min for swift
   // For Objective-c CGFLOAT_MIN 
   let headerView = UIView.init(frame: CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, self.myShaadiTableview.bounds.size.width, CGFloat.min)) 
   return headerView
}
else
{ 
   // Construct your other headers here 
}

Answer 5

use this one i think this help...

 - (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
 {
    return 0.005f;// set this according to that you want...
 }

Answer 6

For IOS 7 if you are allocing a tableview in a view controller you may look into

self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdgeNone;

your problem seemed similar to mine

Update:

Swift in iOS 9.x:

self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdge.None

Swift 3 :

self.edgesForExtendedLayout = UIRectEdge.init(rawValue: 0)
