UIViewController as Apple PodCast application

Question

I want to make an application with an UI looks like apple podcast application.

There are 2 parts on this UIViewController:

1. fixed part with buttons and Image
2. tableview with refreshcontrol

This is this last point my problem: refreshcontrol. I found a previous SO solution, but adding refreshcontrol directly on my view breaks all cells and table styles.

Do you know how can I make a view with these traits: fixed part, refreshcontrol and tableview?

Answer 1

You can use UIViewController containment.

You can have a parent view controller that includes the a view for the fixed part at the top, and a UITableView at the bottom.

For the UITableView you can contain a UITableViewController as a child view controller, so you can use the UIRefreshControl as intended.
