I have a UITableView below a UITextField. Strangely, the upper part of the UITableView has a white background. The tableView scrolls nicely till just below the UITextField, so it is being placed correctly below it. It is just that the upper portion is somehow getting a white background. And this portion seems to scale with respect to the height of the UITextField. i.e. if I increase the height of the textField, the white portion will increase too.

I have tried setting the adjust scroll view insets to false but to no avail.

  • Check the last answer also, make sure you have not accidentally added some header to your tableView inside storyboard. –  Feb 28 '17 at 03:24
  • I have tried the suggested answers there. Mine is a little different. The tableView display properly. It is sitting just right below the textField, but the background of the upper portion is white. I have checked that there was no header under the tableView in storyboard. – Gavin Feb 28 '17 at 03:31
  • If you look at the screenshot, the spacing is the exact height as the UINavigationController. I would guess that you have some wierd hierarcy with multiple navigationControllers. Make sure you are pushing/presenting this UIViewController correctly. If this solves your issue let me know I will update as the answer since I don't find something similiar. I answered something like this before but I cant find the post unfortunately. –  Feb 28 '17 at 03:34
  • There is actually no spacing. Just white background, and it scales along with the `UITextField`'s height at the top. – Gavin Feb 28 '17 at 03:36
  • What happens if you remove the UITextField and simply constraint the uitableview to the top of the superView? –  Feb 28 '17 at 03:37
  • You could run the application and check in the debug view hierarchy what exactly is happening! – Rikh Feb 28 '17 at 05:09
  • @MaTaKazer remove your text field and add it as `tableview header` – Gokul G Feb 28 '17 at 06:56

layout and its constraints are looking fine, I think you might have added a header view in code. Can you check your delegate and data source functions in your class.

Go to storyboard and select view controller where your tableview is and enter image description here enter image description here

  • Give each view different color and then check which view it is ? Otherwise in viewdidload() {//give frame to tableview by setting y = textfield.frame.origin.y + textfield.frame.size.height } – Sahil Arora Feb 28 '17 at 05:00

By default an section height and footer of 28 is added to the tableview in xib.

Change it 1 for both header and footer in the size inspector.
