Solution

  • You can assign a transparent view with a fixed height to the tableHeaderView property of the tableView. This will push the table contents down by the height of the transparent view.

    You can do this from your UITableViewController's viewDidLoad:

    // force the table down 70 pixels
CGRect headerFrame = self.tableView.bounds;
headerFrame.size.height = 70;

UIView *header = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame: headerFrame];
header.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

self.tableView.tableViewHeader = header;

[header release];
