UITableView: the proper way to display a separator for the last cell

Question

The question is what\'s the right-most way to display a separator in the last cell in a table/section.

Basically this is what I am after.

Answer 1

So here's a super simple solution in Swift 4 which works:

Inside override func viewDidLoad(){}, I simply implemented this line of code:

    self.tableView.tableFooterView = UIView(frame: .zero)

Hence it ensures that only the last cell gets the separator inset.

This worked perfectly for me, hope it does for you too!

Works in iOS 7.x and 8.x (put it in cellForRowAtIndexPath):

(PS substitute "max elements of your datasource" with your array datasource count)

 if (row == <max elements of your datasource>-1) {
     UIView* separatorLineView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, cell.contentView.frame.size.height-1, self.view.frame.size.width, 1)];/// change size as you need.
     separatorLineView.tag = 666;
     separatorLineView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed: 204.0/255.0 green: 204.0/255.0 blue: 204.0/255.0 alpha:1.0];
     UIView *separator = [cell.contentView viewWithTag:666];
     // case of orientation changed..
     if (separator.frame.size.width != cell.contentView.frame.size.width) {
        [[cell.contentView viewWithTag:666] removeFromSuperview];
        separator = nil;
     }
     if (separator==nil) [cell.contentView addSubview:separatorLineView];
 }

Answer 3

The code below worked for me:

UIView *footerView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, tableView.frame.size.width, 0.35)];
footerView.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
CGRect frame = footerView.frame;
frame.origin.x = 15;
frame.size.width = frame.size.width - 15;
UIView *blackView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:frame];
[blackView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
blackView.alpha = 0.25;
[footerView addSubview:blackView];
tableView.tableFooterView = footerView;

Hope it works for you too.

Answer 4

This worked flawlessly for me to add a separator to the last cell. have fun!

self.tableView.tableFooterView = [[UIView alloc] init];

Answer 5

This is definitely help. Working. but set separator "none" from attribute inspector. Write following code in cellForRowAtIndexPath method

if(indexPath.row==arrData.count-1){
 UIView *lineView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,           
 cell.contentView.frame.size.height - 1.0,      
 cell.contentView.frame.size.width, 1)];

    lineView.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
    [cell.contentView addSubview:lineView];
}

Answer 6

this will do exactly what you want .. even though the line will take the entire width of the cell:

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

self.tableView.separatorStyle = UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleSingleLine;
self.tableView.separatorColor = [UIColor redColor];
self.tableView.separatorInset = UIEdgeInsetsZero;
