How to hide custom view above tableview

Question

I have a tableView with a UIView inside it and I want with the tap of a button to disappear the view.

Because the UIView is inside the tableView (not as a cell, but above the tableView) I can't set a height constraint and make it after 0.

This is the code I use:

UIView.animate(withDuration: 2.0, animations: { () -> Void in
  self.infoView.frame = CGRect(x: 0 ,y: 0, width: self.view.frame.width, height: 0)
  self.view.layoutIfNeeded()
})

I also tried to set infoView equal to nil (but nothing happened)

Please leave a comment if you don't understand something I said.

Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to use tableHeaderView and then set its height property to zero with tableHeaderView height ? Like this https://stackoverflow.com/a/34689293/3739902 — Darko, Dec 11 '17 at 15:39

Simplest way is hide it, each view has property hidden. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiview/1622585-hidden

Hi thanks for the answer but if I hide it, it will keep its height and I'll have an empty view. – mike vorisis Dec 11 '17 at 15:47

change your code


UIView.animate(withDuration: 2.0, animations: { () -> Void in
            self.infoView.frame = CGRect(x: 0 ,y: 0, width: 0, height: 0)
            self.tableView.contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior = UIScrollViewContentInsetAdjustmentBehavior.automatic
            self.tableView.reloadData()

        })
