UITableview separator not hiding for iOS9

Question

I have implemented UITableView with coding. I have also set UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleNone. It is hiding for iOS8 and below but not hiding with iOS9 Beta.

Its not duplicate of mentioned question. The result I want to achieve is far different than the result achieved in that question. — Piyush Hirpara, Jul 15 '15 at 11:47

I DONT WANT TO CHANGE THE INSET OF SEPARATOR. I WANT TO HIDE IT. — Piyush Hirpara, Jul 15 '15 at 12:57

Please set the separator style to None in layoutSubviews method.

When constraints-based layout is used the base implementation applies the constraints-based layout and setting separatorStyle to UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleNone in this method will hide the separator for you.

doing this in viewDidLayoutSubviews (in my view controller) worked as well. – Ehren Dec 16 '15 at 16:53
If you are creating a table in a uiview you would want to set this in the DrawRect property of the view. – Travis Delly Mar 20 '18 at 18:01

From my investigations, it's not iOS 9 at fault, but Xcode 7.0 beta 4.

If I build the app using Xcode 7.0 beta 4, then the cell separators are shown even when set to None in Interface Builder. If I build the same code with Xcode 6.4 or 7.0 beta 3, the separators are not shown.

You can explicitly call this in your ViewController as a workaround:

self.tableView.separatorStyle = UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleNone;

(I guess ibtool may be at fault)

In My case I am loading UITableview from the Code building with xcode 6.4 still I am getting this issue. – Piyush Hirpara Aug 04 '15 at 08:43
I get the problem in my current projet although I build a tableView and its properties programmatically. Therefore ibtool might be at fault, but he's not the only guilty actor :) – Jean Le Moignan Sep 17 '15 at 20:25
Perfect, when I update to final Xcode version I get fix the problem. – juancazalla Sep 18 '15 at 11:14

I'm also facing the same issue. My workaround was just to set

tableView.separatorColor = UIColor.clearColor().

Solution from apple developer forum that worked for me:

You can remove the separators by set UITableViewCellSeparatorNone before every reloadData method (ios 9.1). I don't know why, but UITableView resets separatorStyle and separatorColor every tyme after the reloadData method is called.

Do you mean after or in each reloadData call? I had a similar experience where I had to add additional calls to set the separator and the background colors to get tables to appear correctly. – Fiid Sep 26 '15 at 15:33

Setting the separator style to .None didn't work for me, so I used the edge insets as a hack workaround

self.tableView.separatorInset.left = UIScreen.mainScreen().bounds.width

YESSSSS. The only solution that also works when there are not enough cells to fill the tableview. – Jean Le Moignan Sep 18 '15 at 12:21

Below code worked for me,

  override func layoutSubviews() {
     super.layoutSubviews()
     tableView.separatorStyle = .none 
   }

I had the same issue, worked fine on iOS 8 but show the separator in iOS9. I was setting the separator style to none already. The following resolved it for me

if ([cell respondsToSelector:@selector(setPreservesSuperviewLayoutMargins:)]) {
        cell.preservesSuperviewLayoutMargins = NO;
    }
    cell.separatorInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0.f, 0.f, 0.f, cell.bounds.size.width);
    if([cell respondsToSelector:@selector(setLayoutMargins:)]) {
        cell.layoutMargins = UIEdgeInsetsZero;
    }

This basically squash the separator using the inset.

This issue is quite annoying. And here is my solution:

override func didMoveToSuperview() {
    if self.superview != nil {
        self.tableView.separatorStyle = .None
    }
}

Set the separatorStyle again when view is added to its superview.

myTableView.separatorStyle = UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleNone;

for Swift

myTableView.separatorStyle = UITableViewCellSeparatorStyle.None

in cellForRowAtIndexPath method will hide white lines in iOS 9 and later.
