Scrolling TableView effects response time of SegmentControl

Question

This may be a strange problem and I hope someone has had it before.

I added a SegmentControl to my TableView using this code:

   UIView *headerView = [[UIView alloc] init ];
   [headerView addSubview:resultsSegment];
    self.tableView.tableHeaderView = headerView;

    resultsSegment.frame = CGRectMake(45, 123, 250, 40);
    [self.tableView addSubview:resultsSegment];

With help from these forums the first three lines made the Segment part of the TableView Header so that it stayed in place for scrolling. Great.

However, that disabled the ability to click on the SegmentControl.

Adding the last line made that possible again.

The SegmentControl performs great UNTIL scrolling, then it becomes really unresponsive. It doesn't throw up any errors and it does eventually accept a press from the finger, but you have to tap it 5/6 times before it switches.

If anyone can shed some light on this that would be amazing

Any extra information you need I'll be happy to provide!

Answer 1

I solved the problem of an unresponsive SegmentControl upon scrolling by moving the code below from the viewDidLoad method to the titleForHeaderInSection

 resultsSegment.frame = CGRectMake(45, 123, 250, 40);
            [self.tableView addSubview:resultsSegment];

It now looks like this:

- (NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section;

{
    switch (section) {
        case 0:
            return @"";
            break;
        case 1:
            resultsSegment.frame = CGRectMake(45, 123, 250, 40);
            [self.tableView addSubview:resultsSegment];
            return @"";
            break;
        case 2:

            return @"";
            break;
        default:
            return @"Section Count Error";
            break;
    }


}

Answer 2

The likely problem here is that you have a single segmentControl but you added it as a subview to both the tableHeaderView and the tableView.
