ios - UITable inside Scroll View or a Table View Header? -

i'm building app parse data uitableview. using custom uitableviewcell class.

i want add uiimage before , on top of uitableview, uiimage down below. question if should go head , make custom uitableview header view containing uiimage? or if should put uitableview , uiimageview inside uiscrollview?

and how can that?

when scroll in uitableview want uiimage on top disappear, if row in table view.

you answered own question when

i want image on top disappear, if row in table view

the image should row in tableview. best set different section, image in section #0, rest in section #1.

you going create different type of cells, 1 have breaking news, 1 image.

- (uitableviewcell *)tableview:(uitableview *)tableview cellforrowatindexpath:(nsindexpath *)indexpath {     if (indexpath.section == 0) {         static nsstring *identifier1 = @"celltype1";         // cell type 1         celltype1 *cell = [tableview dequeuereusablecellwithidentifier:identifier1];         if (cell == nil) {             nsarray *nib= [[nsbundle mainbundle] loadnibnamed:@"celltype1" owner:self options:nil];             cell = (celltype1 *)[nib objectatindex:0];             }          //set image on cell          return cell;     } else {         static nsstring *identifier1 = @"celltype2";         // cell type 2         celltype2 *cell = [tableview dequeuereusablecellwithidentifier:identifier2];         if (cell == nil) {             nsarray *nib= [[nsbundle mainbundle] loadnibnamed:@"celltype2" owner:self options:nil];             cell = (celltype2 *)[nib objectatindex:0];              }          // set cell breaking news stuff          return cell;     } } 

make sure have number of sections set

- (nsinteger)numberofsectionsintableview:(uitableview *)tableview {     return 2; } 

also make sure use different cell identifiers each cell type

and 1 row in first section, make sure set accordingly

- (nsinteger)tableview:(uitableview *)tableview numberofrowsinsection:(nsinteger)section {     if (section==0) {         return 1;     } else {         return breaking_news_count;     } }
