How to resize a tableHeaderView of a UITableView?

I'm having trouble resizing a tableHeaderView. It simple doesn't work.

1) Create a UITableView and UIView (100 x 320 px);

2) Set the UIView as tableHeaderView of the UITableView;

3) Build and Go. Everything is ok.

Now, I want to resizing the tableHeaderView, so I add this code in viewDidLoad:

self.tableView.autoresizesSubviews = YES;

self.tableView.tableHeaderView = myHeaderView;
self.tableView.tableFooterView = myFooterView;

CGRect newFrame = self.tableView.tableHeaderView.frame;
newFrame.size.height = newFrame.size.height + 100;
self.tableView.tableHeaderView.frame = newFrame;

The height of the tableHeaderView should appear with 200, but appears with 100.

If I write:

self.tableView.autoresizesSubviews = YES;


CGRect newFrame = myHeaderView.frame;
newFrame.size.height = newFrame.size.height + 100;
myHeaderView.frame = newFrame;


self.tableView.tableHeaderView = myHeaderView;
self.tableView.tableFooterView = myFooterView;

Then it starts with 200 of height, as I want. But I want to be able to modify it in runtime.

I've also tried this, without success:

self.tableView.autoresizesSubviews = YES;

self.tableView.tableHeaderView = myHeaderView;
self.tableView.tableFooterView = myFooterView;

CGRect newFrame = self.tableView.tableHeaderView.frame;
newFrame.size.height = newFrame.size.height + 100;
self.tableView.tableHeaderView.frame = newFrame;

[self.tableView.tableHeaderView setNeedsLayout];
[self.tableView.tableHeaderView setNeedsDisplay];
[self.tableView setNeedsLayout];
[self.tableView setNeedsDisplay];

The point here is: How do we resize a tableHeaderView in runtime ???

Have anyone able to do this?

Thanks

I think it should work if you just set the height of myHeaderView like so:

CGRect newFrame = myHeaderView.frame;
newFrame.size.height = newFrame.size.height + 100;
myHeaderView.frame = newFrame;

self.tableView.tableHeaderView = myHeaderView;

Its because the setter of tableHeaderView.

You have to set the UIView height before set the tableHeaderView. (Would be much easier if Apple open sources this framework...)

Did you try [self.tableView reloadData] after changing the height?
