ios - How to scroll the header along with the UITableView?

Question

I have a UITableView with a header. the problem I currently have is that the header doesn't scroll with the table. I need it to scroll off screen (above) when the user scrolls the table view up. the tableview scrolls but the header is locked at the top of the UIView.

thanks

Answer 1

create sectionHeader view in a new method and then add to the end:

self.tableView.tableHeaderView = sectionHeader;
