  • If you want to remove the extra separators below a plain style table view, check out this answer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1369831/eliminate-extra-separators-below-uitableview-in-iphone-sdk/1789714#1789714 – albertamg Jun 20 '11 at 11:35

You can set a footer view and make it invisible if you want. Separators will appear only for rows which contain data:

self.theTableView.tableFooterView = [[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, 320.0f, 10.0f)] autorelease];

Try this ..

self.tableView.tableFooterView = [UIView new];

I don't think it is possible to hide the extra separators using a standard way. This behavior is preset.

Plain styled tableView shows the row/separator even if there are no real rows exist. Only Grouped styled tableView shows only the existing rows.

Edit: As suggested by others, you can add a footer view to tableView to hide those extra separators.

  • you can eliminate the extra separators by [adding a footer view to the table](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1369831/eliminate-extra-separators-below-uitableview-in-iphone-sdk/1789714#1789714). – albertamg Jun 20 '11 at 11:39

Add a static cell that fills the rest of the screen.

Just add below code in your viewDidLoad() method.

self.tableview.tableFooterView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];

OK, I assume you are using Interface Builder.

The easy way:

  1. make sure you have chosen your view controller class as both UITableViewDelegate and UITabbleViewDataSource.

  2. In the ViewController.h (or whatever its called) add <UITableViewDelegate,UITableViewDataSource> before the { of the @interface definition. to the class that it must conform to those protocols.

  3. Make sure the minimal datasource protocol methods are in the class :

    – tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:  
– tableView:numberOfRowsInSection:

  4. in the – tableView:numberOfRowsInSection: method return the number of desired rows - 3 or by a bit of code to calculate this property

  5. in the – tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath: method do what you need to on the cell and return it. Boilerplate code

    is:

    -(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath 
{
    UITableViewCell *cell = [self.tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"MyIdentifier"];

 if (cell == nil) 
 {
     cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero reuseIdentifier:@"MyIdentifier"] autorelease];
 }

cell.text = @"I am a cell";
return cell;
}

N.B. If you are not using Interface Builder do: tableView.delegate = self; tableView.datasource = self;

You can specify the required number of rows in the return parameter of the following function :

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {

    return NUMBER_OF_ROWS;
}

For more details please go through the Apple documentation of UITableView.
