APParallaxHeader

This category makes it super easy to add a parallax header view to your table views. Other alternatives relies on subclassing of UITableViewController or UITableView. APParallaxHeader uses the Objective-C runtime instead to add the following method to UIScrollView

- (void)addParallaxWithImage:(UIImage *)image andHeight:(CGFloat)height;

Demo

Installation

From CocoaPods

Add pod 'APParallaxHeader' to your Podfile or pod 'APParallaxHeader', :head if you're feeling adventurous.

Manually

Important note if your project doesn't use ARC: you must add the -fobjc-arc compiler flag to UIScrollView+ APParallaxHeader.m in Target Settings > Build Phases > Compile Sources.

Drag the APParallaxHeader/APParallaxHeader folder into your project.
Import UIScrollView+APParallaxHeader.h

Usage

(see sample Xcode project in /Demo)

Adding Parallax image

[tableView addParallaxWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"ImageName"] andHeight:160];

ToDo

Ability to set a custom view as a ParallaxView
Ability to customize the drop shadow size, opacity, color etc.

Setting contentMode of the imageView
