UITableView showing more rows than specified in numberOfRowsInSection:

Question

I want my tableView to show 6 rows with text in it, in this case \"Example.\" As far as I can tell, I have my numberOfSectionsInTableView: and numberOfRowsIn

Answer 1

It's a lot easier to:

1. return numberOfSections + 1
2. return 0 rows in the final section

This keeps it simple!

Answer 2

The generally accepted way of doing this is to add a footer view with a frame size of CGRectZero, as such:

[tableView setTableFooterView:[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero]]

What this does is tell the table that there is a footer, and so it stops displaying separator lines. However, since the footer has a CGRectZero as its frame, nothing gets displayed, and so the visual effect is that the separators simply stop.

Answer 3

Short and simple answer..

self.tableView.tableFooterView = [UIView new];
