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

cell.backgroundView = [UIView new];

Works like a charm! Tested! iOS6

Answer 2

Setting a content view also gets rid of the border. Set your custom view to cell.contentView.

Answer 3

This code worked for me :)

[self.tableView setSeparatorColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
[self.tableView setSeparatorStyle:UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleNone];

Answer 4

The following hack works in iOS 7 – for now. :)

Subclass UITableViewCell, and use this cell for the section that shouldn't have separators.
Override the addSubview method in your cell subclass:

-(void)addSubview:(UIView *)view
{
    // The separator has a height of 0.5pt on a retina display and 1pt on non-retina.
    // Prevent subviews with this height from being added. 
    if (CGRectGetHeight(view.frame)*[UIScreen mainScreen].scale == 1)
    {
        return;
    }

    [super addSubview:view];
}

Answer 5

cell.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

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

Answer 6

The easiest way to remove cell borders from a section of grouped-style UITableView:

[tableViewOutlet setBackgroundView:nil];

in the viewDidLoad method.
