无法摆脱UITableView的tableFooterView中的颜色

Question

I have a standard UITableView with three sections. At the bottom of the table I'm trying to add a tableFooterView . It seems as though there's a standard spacing between the last row in the table and the top of the tableFooterView , which is fine, but my problem is that there is a different color in this spacing that I can't get rid of. I need that spacing to match the background of my tableView .

Here's some code:

self.menuTable.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
self.menuTable.backgroundView = nil;
self.menuTable.separatorColor = [UIColor clearColor];
self.menuTable.delegate = self;
self.menuTable.sectionHeaderHeight = 10.0;

UIView *footer = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 200)];
footer.backgroundColor = self.menuTable.backgroundColor;
UILabel *footerLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(60, 0, 205, 100)];
footerLabel.text = @"foo bar.";
footerLabel.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
footerLabel.backgroundColor = self.menuTable.backgroundColor;
footerLabel.numberOfLines = 10;
footerLabel.font = [UIFont italicSystemFontOfSize:11.0];
[footerLabel sizeToFit];

[footer addSubview:footerLabel];
self.menuTable.tableFooterView = footer;

Here's a screenshot (sorry about the red, but it's the easiest way to see the differences in colors).

Answer 1

Whoops. Earlier I was trying to add a sectionFooterView, and had implemented tableView:heightForFooterInSection: , returning 20 for the last section. That's where that gap was coming from, and it had a default color of white. Since I'm now placing the text as the tableFooterView , I just removed that delegate callback and everything is rendering as expected.

Answer 2

Try this

self.menuTable.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
