Removing cell borders from a section of grouped-style UITableView

Question

I have a UITableViewController initialized with the grouped style and having multiple sections. For one of these sections, I\'d like its constituent cells to be completely t

Answer 1

If you have a custom UITableCellView then you can add the following method to your view to remove the background view.

- (void)setBackgroundView:(UIView *)backgroundView
{
    // We don't want background views for this cell.
    [super setBackgroundView:nil];
}

Answer 2

As of iOS 8, setting the separator attribute to none works as well.

Answer 3

I just thought I would convert my comment to @Intentss into an answer, because it maybe useful for those, using his solution.

Using iOS6.1 with a grouped UITabelView, using ARC:

[tableView setSeparatorColor:[UIColor clearColor]];

Does not work

cell.backgroundView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];

Does work

Answer 4

Try using tableView.separatorColor = [UIColor clearColor];

And, don't use tableView.separatorStyle = UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleNone;

I tested with both, if style is none, making the section borders invisible is not working, but instead just change its color, and section border will appear to be none.

iOS seems to be differentiating making an object none and making an object transparent

Answer 5

You have to actually set

tableView.separatorStyle = UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleNone;

to remove the border of cells.

Answer 6

This is what worked for with having a Grouped style table

[tableView setSeparatorColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
