How to put a UISegmentedControl under a NavigationController?

Question

I was wondering what the best approach in order to have a UISegmentedControl appears just under the a navigationController just like in the AppStore application:

Answer 1

I would use UITableView's tableHeaderView property for that. That way it will scroll together with the table view's contents.

To prevent the bar from scrolling together with the table content, I would make it a sibling view (relative to UITableView) and place it just above the table view. If you choose this approach you will have the following view hierarchy: controller's view holds the toolbar and the table view. Note that you will have to set up the table view and handle row deselection in -viewWillAppear: yourself, duplicating functionality of UITableViewController.
