How to Hide Separator Line on One UITableViewCell 🚫➡️🔍

Are you customizing a UITableView and want to hide the separator line only on the last cell? 🧐 We've got you covered! In this blog post, we'll address this common issue and provide you with easy solutions to achieve the desired effect. Let's dive in! 🤿

The Problem Statement 📜

You want to hide the separator line on the last cell of your customized UITableView. However, using tableView.separatorStyle = UITableViewCellStyle.None affects all the cells in the tableView. So, how can you achieve this with precision? 🤔

The Solution 🤩

Luckily, there's a simple and straightforward solution to customize the separator line on a specific UITableViewCell. Let's get started! 🏁

  1. First, implement the UITableViewDelegate protocol in your view controller:

    class YourViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDelegate { // Your code here }
  2. Next, override the willDisplay method of UITableViewDelegate to customize the separator line:

    func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, willDisplay cell: UITableViewCell, forRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) { if indexPath.row == tableView.numberOfRows(inSection: indexPath.section) - 1 { cell.separatorInset = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0, left: tableView.bounds.size.width, bottom: 0, right: 0) } else { cell.separatorInset = UIEdgeInsets.zero } }

    In the code snippet above, we check if the current cell is the last cell using indexPath.row == tableView.numberOfRows(inSection: indexPath.section) - 1. If it's the last cell, we set the separatorInset to hide the separator line. Otherwise, we set it to the default value, which is UIEdgeInsets.zero.

  3. That's it! 🥳 Run your app, and you'll now see that only the separator line of the last cell is hidden, while the rest remain intact.

Conclusion and Call-to-Action 📣

Hiding the separator line on a specific UITableViewCell in your customized UITableView is a common requirement. By following the easy steps outlined above, you can achieve this effect effortlessly. 🎉
