ios - UITableView : viewForHeaderInSection: not called during reloadData:

Question

I've set up the tableview with correct delegate and datasource linkages.. the reloadData method calls the datasource and the delegate methods except for viewForHeaderInSection:.

Why is that so?

Answer 1

The use of tableView:viewForHeaderInSection: requires that you also implement tableView:heightForHeaderInSection:. This should return an appropriate non-zero height for the header. Also make sure you do not also implement the tableView:titleForHeaderInSection:. You should only use one or the other (viewForHeader or titleForHeader).
