iOS 8 UITableView separator inset 0 not working

Question

I have an app where the UITableView\'s separator inset is set to custom values - Right 0, Left 0. This works perfectly in iOS 7.

Answer 1

Arg!!! After playing around either doing this in your Cell subclass:

- (UIEdgeInsets)layoutMargins
{
    return UIEdgeInsetsZero;
}

or setting the cell.layoutMargins = UIEdgeInsetsZero; fixed it for me.

Answer 2

Just add below code can solve this program.

Good luck to you!

-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

       if ([cell respondsToSelector:@selector(setSeparatorInset:)]) {
           [cell setSeparatorInset:UIEdgeInsetsZero];
       }

       if ([cell respondsToSelector:@selector(setLayoutMargins:)]) {
           [cell setLayoutMargins:UIEdgeInsetsZero];
       }

}

Answer 3

This worked perfectly for me in iOS 8 and iOS 9.

For OBJ-C

 - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath  { 
        if ([tableView respondsToSelector:@selector(setSeparatorInset:)])
        {
            [tableView setSeparatorInset:UIEdgeInsetsZero];
        }

        if ([tableView respondsToSelector:@selector(setLayoutMargins:)])
        {
            [tableView setLayoutMargins:UIEdgeInsetsZero];
        }

        if ([cell respondsToSelector:@selector(setLayoutMargins:)])
        {
            [cell setLayoutMargins:UIEdgeInsetsZero];
        }
         return cell;
    }

Answer 4

Use below code snippet avoid unwanted padding issue for UITableView in IOS 8 & 7.

-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{

    if ([tableView respondsToSelector:@selector(setSeparatorInset:)])
    {
        [tableView setSeparatorInset:UIEdgeInsetsZero];
    }

    if ([tableView respondsToSelector:@selector(setLayoutMargins:)])
    {
        [tableView setLayoutMargins:UIEdgeInsetsZero];
    }

    if ([cell respondsToSelector:@selector(setLayoutMargins:)])
    {
        [cell setLayoutMargins:UIEdgeInsetsZero];
    }
}

Answer 5

I made it work by doing this:

tableView.separatorInset = UIEdgeInsetsZero;
tableView.layoutMargins = UIEdgeInsetsZero;
cell.layoutMargins = UIEdgeInsetsZero;

Answer 6

Instead of updating preservesSuperviewLayoutMargins and layoutMargins every time the cell scrolls in (using willDisplayCell), I'd suggest to do it once in cellForRowAtIndexPath::

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {

    let cell = super.tableView(tableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath: indexPath)

    cell.preservesSuperviewLayoutMargins = false
    cell.layoutMargins = UIEdgeInsetsZero

    return cell

}
