How to remove excess empty cells in TableViewController, iOS - Swift

Question

Hi I have a TableViewController with two static cells, however when displayed it shows two static cells and then all the other empty cells for the table. However, I do not want to display these cells as they are useless. How to hide other cells separately from two static cells?

Answer 1

in your viewDidLoad() function add this line of code:

 tableView.tableFooterView = UIView() 

Answer 2

To add to this, the reason why setting tableFooterView - UIView() delete rows is because you are setting an empty UIView() object for the property. According to Apple documentation:

 var tableFooterView: UIView? 

Therefore setting an empty UIView () does not display anything below your data for this property.

You can return empty rows by resetting tableFooterView to the default value, for example:

 tableView.tableFooterView = nil 

Answer 3

You can achieve this also in Storyboard by simply dragging the view into the footer area of ​​the table, and then set its height and background color to 1 and clear accordingly using the Property inspector.

(It is assumed that you either cannot or don’t just want to use the group style setting for some reason. Otherwise, just do it.)

Answer 4

 tableView.tableFooterView = UIView.init(frame: CGRect.zero) 

Call this code inside the viewWillAppear method. And will work

Answer 5

Select your UITableView, go to the attribute inspector and change the style to Grouped.

Answer 6

Just add:

 tableView.tableFooterView = UIView() 

Explanation:

This is absolutely correct and works great in fast 3.By. Since you are setting an empty UIView () object for a property, setting tableFooterView to UIView () removes the rows.

Answer 7

I tried tableview.tableFooterView = UIView () and this did not work for me. That is why I use my own TableViewViewCell.

I found hack tho. In my func numberOfRowsInSection

 func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int { return yourArrayClass.count - 1 } 

And that makes my extra empty custom UITableViewCell no longer appear. Of course, this is superfluous empty. I will check it out a bit more by adding more cells. For reference, I use Swift 3, Firebase, a custom cell class, inside the cellForRowAt function.
