Tableview backgroundColor

[cconstable]

I think we have a couple of options:

1. Move the map on top of the table view. This will cause the map to redraw it's labels when it's resized so I don't think this is a good solution.
2. Make a special case for small tables that fixes the height of map view or disables scrolling. This also doesn't sound ideal.
3. I think the best solution would be to create an intermediate UIView that starts out the top of the first cell and goes all the way to bottom of the page to obscure the map view. This view would need to grow / shrink as the page is scrolled. This solution would also allow cells to be transparent. It would act as a background view for the table view.

I'll try to get that added this week but if you want to take a stab at it feel free :)

The way I do it is to set background color for each uitableviewcell,
although I know it is quite inefficient.

Hmmm, that's a good question. There's a couple solutions I can see right
off the bat but they all have side-effects:

Even setting the cells background color will not produce good results though if you only have two cells:

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    cell.contentView.backgroundColor = [UIColor yellowColor];
}

Setting the background color for each uitableviewcell will not work when the table gives 1 result.
I think the best solution will be inserting an uiview between mapView an tableView and swap depth when expandMapView is called.

I haven't given it much thought yet but so far that's the solution I like best. It's not the most efficient but neither is parallax scrolling to begin with :) I think preserving looks and aesthetics should be a priority here.

Hi,

I had the same issue so i just finish to add this fixtures. It's work fine and preserve the looks and aesthetics.

In the .h file juste add :

 /** The view to the tableview background view. */
@property (nonatomic, strong) UIView *backgroundView;

/** The color of the backgroundView */
@property (nonatomic, strong) UIColor *backgroundViewColor;

In your .m in the - (void)initialize function

self.backgroundViewColor = [UIColor clearColor];

And finally at the bottom of the - (void)layoutSubviews function

if (!self.backgroundView) {
        UIView *view = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0, self.defaultMapHeight,
                                                                self.tableView.frame.size.width,
                                                                self.tableView.frame.size.height - self.defaultMapHeight)];
        view.backgroundColor = self.backgroundViewColor;
        self.backgroundView = view;
        [self.tableView insertSubview:self.backgroundView atIndex:0];
    }

You should have what you expect.

@charliefancelli Thank you so much! Now it's working fine now

Now, I'm facing some bugs on iOS 7, but only on layout stuff.
