Different background colors for the top and bottom of a UITableView

Swift 5.0+

Solution with an extension:

extension UITableView {

    func addTopBounceAreaView(color: UIColor = .white) {
        var frame = UIScreen.main.bounds
        frame.origin.y = -frame.size.height

        let view = UIView(frame: frame)
        view.backgroundColor = color

        self.addSubview(view)
    }
}

Usage: tableView.addTopBounceAreaView()

There´s good answers at Light gray background in “bounce area”...

Where i found this codesnipet (slightly modified) that works great:

CGRect frame = self.tableView.bounds;
frame.origin.y = -frame.size.height;
UIView* grayView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:frame];
grayView.backgroundColor = [UIColor grayColor];
[self.tableView addSubview:grayView];
[grayView release];

Swift:

var frame = self.tableView.bounds
frame.origin.y = -frame.size.height
let grayView = UIView(frame: frame)
grayView.backgroundColor = .gray
self.tableView.addSubview(grayView)
