add finishing separator on uitableview

Question

I have a custom separator style (fairly simple):

[[UITableView appearance] setSeparatorColor:SOMECOLOR];

Now I want to have my tableview finish with a separator. Currently separators only appear between two cells, but I want to have a separator at the end.

see here:

any ideas how this could be done?

Answer 1

I usually make my own separator inside the table view cell. I do this with a UIView that spans the width of the cell and is 1 or 2 points high.

In your case, if you want the system separator, you would have to add a custom cell at the end which is all transparent and 1 point high. UITableView would then add the missing separator.

Answer 2

I understand it you want a separator at the end as well? You can add a footer view to achieve this effect.

Answer 3

Make a footer view with height of 0.0001. To do so simply implement the following tableview delegate method :

-(CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section{ return 0.001; }
