How to remove empty cells in UITableView?

i am trying to display a simple `UITableView` with some data. I wish to set the static height of the `UITableView` so that it doesn't displays empty cells at the end of the table. how do I do that?

code:



- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
NSLog(@"%d", [arr count]);
return [arr count];
}

In the Storyboard, select the `UITableView`, and modify the property Style from `Plain` to `Grouped`.

Implemented with swift on Xcode 6.1


self.tableView.tableFooterView = UIView(frame: CGRectZero)
self.tableView.tableFooterView?.hidden = true



The second line of code does not cause any effect on presentation, you can use to check if is hidden or not.

I tried the code:

tableView.tableFooterView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];

In the **viewDidLoad** section and xcode6 showed a warning. I have put a "self." in front of it and now it works fine. so the working code I use is:

self.tableView.tableFooterView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];

**Using `UITableViewController`**

The solution accepted will change the height of the `TableViewCell`. To fix that, perform following steps:

1. Write code snippet given below in `ViewDidLoad` method.

`tableView.tableFooterView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];`

2. Add following method in the `TableViewClass.m` file.



- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
return (cell height set on storyboard);
}

That's it. You can build and run your project.

override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
self.tableView.tableFooterView = UIView(frame: CGRect.zeroRect)

/// OR

self.tableView.tableFooterView = UIView()
}

or you can call tableView method to set the footer height in 1 point, and it will add an last line, but you can hide it too, by setting footer background color.

code:

func tableView(tableView: UITableView,heightForFooterInSection section: Int) -> CGFloat {
return 1
}

[looks like last line][1]


[1]:

in the below method:

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
if (([array count]*65) > [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.height - 66)
{
Table.frame = CGRectMake(0, 66, self.view.frame.size.width, [array count]*65));
}
else
{
Table.frame = CGRectMake(0, 66, self.view.frame.size.width, [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.height - 66);
}
return [array count];
}


here 65 is the height of the cell and 66 is the height of the navigation bar in UIViewController.

**Swift 3 syntax:**

tableView.tableFooterView = UIView(frame: .zero)

**Swift syntax: < 2.0**

tableView.tableFooterView = UIView(frame: CGRect.zeroRect)

**Swift 2.0 syntax:**

tableView.tableFooterView = UIView(frame: CGRect.zero)

Set a zero height table footer view (perhaps in your `viewDidLoad` method), like so:

**Swift:**

tableView.tableFooterView = UIView()

**Objective-C:**

tableView.tableFooterView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];


Because the table thinks there is a footer to show, it doesn't display any cells beyond those you explicitly asked for.

**Interface builder pro-tip:**

If you are using a **xib/Storyboard**, you can just drag a UIView (with height 0pt) onto the bottom of the UITableView.
