BlogReader on iOS 7.1 doesn't leave space for the header.

Hey all,

I am working on the blogReader, and my view doesn't take into account space for the header (i.e. where the Carrier, Signal strength, time, battery, etc). I assume I change that in the TableView or the TableViewController, but I'm not sure how to do so.

Does anyone else have this, and know how to fix it?

Thanks!

you can add a header view to your tableView with the following code 

-(void)viewDidLoad
{
     // ...
    UIView *headerView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(self.tableView.frame.origin.x, self.tableView.frame.origin.y,   self.tableView.frame.size.width, 20)];
     self.tableView.tableHeaderView = headerView;
     // ...
}

stick that code in your tableViewControllers viewDidLoad method and see if it works

that will push your tableView down a bit, giving room for the status bar.

That did it! Thanks Stone!

I've been diligent to follow along closely to the lecture. I wonder, is this something I missed, or are headers handled differently than they were when the lecture was recorded?

Thanks again.

yes, in io7 6 when this video was made this did not occur. in io7 they changed the way the status bar works. it is now transparent and content floats under it
