how to hide empty rows in a UITableView and change the height of the Uitableview based on non-empty rows

Question

I have couple of problems with my UITableView.

1. When I add a UITableview on my page, by default it brings up some fixed number of rows,

Answer 1

I solved the problem by creating a simple UIView as footer view with the same background color as the table background:

(UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section {
    UIView *view = [[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 100)] autorelease];
    view.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
    return view;
}

Maybe you have to disable scrolling in your table view in addition.
