Adding View to top of AQGridView ScrollView

Question

I am using AQGridView to create an image gallery that has about 21 items. I'd like to add a view that contains the app logo and name to the top of this list/scrollview so that users see it but as they scroll to look at images the view with name and logo scroll with it. Has anyone implemented something like this before?

Thanks to @skram I was able to add the logo, but now the image is block the first row of images.

Here is where I define the logo and add it to the gridView:

 self.gridView = [[AQGridView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 367)];
        UIImageView *logo = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"paramythLogoTest.png"]];
        [logo setFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,logo.frame.size.width,logo.frame.size.height)]; 
        [gridView addSubview:logo];
        self.gridView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth|UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;
        self.gridView.autoresizesSubviews = YES;
        self.gridView.delegate = self;
        self.gridView.dataSource = self;



        [self.view addSubview:gridView];


        [self.gridView reloadData];

then the images are loaded here:

- (AQGridViewCell *) gridView: (AQGridView *) aGridView cellForItemAtIndex: (NSUInteger) index
{
static NSString * PlainCellIdentifier = @"PlainCellIdentifier";

GridViewCell * cell = (GridViewCell *)[aGridView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"PlainCellIdentifier"];

if ( cell == nil )
{
    cell = [[GridViewCell alloc] initWithFrame: CGRectMake(3.333, 3.333, 100, 100)
                               reuseIdentifier: PlainCellIdentifier];
}
NSString *stringURL = [[featuredStories objectAtIndex:index] objectAtIndex:1];

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:stringURL];
[cell.imageView setImageWithURL:url placeholderImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"example0.png"]];
cell.storyID = [[featuredStories objectAtIndex:index] objectAtIndex:0];\

return cell;
}

Here is a screenshot of the simulator:

Yes. You can easily do this with addSubview:. On your AQGridView instance, add a UIImageView as a subview. AQGridView is nothing more than a subclassed UIScrollView, which you can use addSubview: on.

....
AQGridView *_grid;
....
UIImageView *logo = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"logo.png"]];
[logo setFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,logo.frame.size.width,logo.frame.size.height)]; // Set the Frame's position on where you want it in the grid.
[_grid addSubview:logo];

Hope this helps.

EDIT: Editing Answer to reflect adding the logo as the first subview to the AQGridView so all images overlap the logo. Instead of using [_grid addSubview:logo], Assuming these are UIImageView's Use:

[_grid insertSubview:logo belowSubview:(UIImageView*)[_grid.subviews objectAtIndex:0]];

While skram version does work I wanted to mention that for my purposes the gridViewHeader is the best option, see code:

UIImageView *logo = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"paramythLogoTest.png"]];
[logo setFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,logo.frame.size.width,logo.frame.size.height)]; 
[gridView setGridHeaderView:logo];
