Step 1) Create a header view as, set outlet to that view.

@property(nonatomic,strong)IBOutlet UIView *viewHeader;

Setp 2) Add following single line code on viewDidLoad

[self.tableview setTableHeaderView:self.viewHeader];

Done!!!

you need to implement following UITableview delegate methods

- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section

Views are maintained in a hierarchy in iOS. They are maintained essentially as an array with the latest view first. To insert some view below one view or above another you just need to manipulate this.

All this is theory, I have not done what you want. So dont hold a grudge against me ;) this is a friendly suggestion.

[self.view insertSubview:yourNewView belowSubview:navigationController];

You can do this by setting the UITableView's tableHeaderView property.

UITableView class reference

tableHeaderView

Returns an accessory view that is displayed above the table.

@property(nonatomic, retain) UIView *tableHeaderView

Discussion The default value is nil. The table header view is different from a section header.

Availability Available in iOS 2.0 and later.

Add UIView and UITableView as subviews of UIView and then position their height, width and x, y position from the Size Inspector in Interface builder or Use CGRectMake in objective-c
