Hide separator line on one UITableViewCell

Question

I'm customizing a UITableView. I want to hide the line separating on the last cell ... can i do this?

I know I can do tableView.separatorStyle = UITableViewCellStyle.None but that would affect all the cells of the tableView. I want it to only affect my last cell.

Answer 1

I couldn't hide the separator on a specific cell except using the following workaround

- (void)layoutSubviews {
    [super layoutSubviews];
    [self hideCellSeparator];
}
// workaround
- (void)hideCellSeparator {
    for (UIView *view in  self.subviews) {
        if (![view isKindOfClass:[UIControl class]]) {
            [view removeFromSuperview];
        }
    }
}

Swift:

public func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {

    ...

    // remove separator for last cell
    cell.separatorInset = indexPath.row < numberOfRowsInSection-1
        ? tableView.separatorInset
        : UIEdgeInsets(top: 0, left: tableView.bounds.size.width, bottom: 0, right: 0)

    return cell
}

Objective-C:

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
     cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

    ...

    // remove separator for last cell
    cell.separatorInset = (indexPath.row < numberOfRowsInSection-1)
        ? tableView.separatorInset
        : UIEdgeInsetsMake(0.f, tableView.bounds.size.width, 0.f, 0.f);

    return cell;
}

Answer 3

In your UITableViewCell subclass, override layoutSubviews and hide the _UITableViewCellSeparatorView. Works under iOS 10.

override func layoutSubviews() {
    super.layoutSubviews()

    subviews.forEach { (view) in
        if view.dynamicType.description() == "_UITableViewCellSeparatorView" {
            view.hidden = true
        }
    }
}

In willdisplaycell:

cell.separatorInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, cell.bounds.size.width, 0, 0)

Answer 5

Try the below code, might help you resolve your problem

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

   NSString* reuseIdentifier = @"Contact Cell";

    UITableViewCell* cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:reuseIdentifier];
    if (nil == cell) {
        cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:reuseIdentifier];
if (indexPath.row != 10) {//Specify the cell number
        cell.backgroundView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"bgWithLine.png"]];

} else {
        cell.backgroundView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"bgWithOutLine.png"]];

}

    }

    return cell;
}

Answer 6

cell.separatorInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0.0, cell.bounds.size.width, 0.0, -cell.bounds.size.width)

works well in iOS 10.2
