Right way to set up UITableView inside a UIView

[Maxner]

This is just to make sure that I did it right. So i have the UIView which is the view of Files Owner, and inside the UIView i have a small UITableView. Since Files owner is a subclass of UIViewController i cant use File Owner as data source (the app will crash). So what i do is add a UITableViewController to the .xib and set the class to the UITableView Subclass class file. Then i connect data source with the TableViewController and delegate with files owner, then everything works, but is it the right way to do it?

I'm a bit uncertain of what you're trying to do, or the steps you describe (A screenshot would be useful)... or maybe it's because I'm still a newbie to X-Code.

However, why would the app crash? If you implement the protocols and the delegate correctly there should be no problem. I've got a UIView subclass (Not even UIViewController) handling a UIPickerView and a UIToolbar inside it (All in one class).

However, why don't you use a UITableViewController?

Usually a UITableView that doesn't reach the edges of the screen doesn't show up nicelly. Usually when someone ask for this kind of layout it is because there is something at the top or at the bottom of the list. If that is the case, I guess it would be best to use the tableHeaderView or tableHeaderView.

Best regards

I can't use a TabelViewController as said before, but the table goes till the edges apart from the bottom, where i have other stuff, the app isn't crashing, i just wanted to clarify things and know if im doing it right.
