Hide separator line on one UITableViewCell

I couldn't hide the separator on a specific cell except using the following workaround

- (void)layoutSubviews {
[super layoutSubviews];
[self hideCellSeparator];
}
// workaround
- (void)hideCellSeparator {
for (UIView *view in self.subviews) {
if (![view isKindOfClass:[UIControl class]]) {
[view removeFromSuperview];
}
}
}

For Swift 2:
-------------------

add the following line to `viewDidLoad()`:

tableView.separatorColor = UIColor.clearColor()

For iOS7 and above, the cleaner way is to use INFINITY instead of hardcoded value. You don't have to worry on updating the cell when the screen rotates.

if (indexPath.row == <row number>) {
cell.separatorInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, INFINITY, 0, 0);
}

In **Swift** using **iOS 8.4**:

/*
Tells the delegate that the table view is about to draw a cell for a particular row. (optional)
*/
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView,
willDisplayCell cell: UITableViewCell,
forRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath)
{
if indexPath.row == 3 {
// Hiding separator line for only one specific UITableViewCell
cell.separatorInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, cell.bounds.size.width, 0, 0)
}
}

Note: this snippet above will work on UITableView using dynamic cells. The only problem that you can encounter is when you use static cells with categories, a separator type different than none and a grouped style for the table view. In fact, in this particular case it will not hide the last cell of each category. For overcoming that, the solution that I found was to set the cell separator (through IB) to none and then creating and adding manually (through code) your line view to each cell. For an example, please check the snippet below:

/*
Tells the delegate that the table view is about to draw a cell for a particular row. (optional)
*/
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView,
willDisplayCell cell: UITableViewCell,
forRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath)
{
// Row 2 at Section 2
if indexPath.row == 1 && indexPath.section == 1 {
// Hiding separator line for one specific UITableViewCell
cell.separatorInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, cell.bounds.size.width, 0, 0)

// Here we add a line at the bottom of the cell (e.g. here at the second row of the second section).
let additionalSeparatorThickness = CGFloat(1)
let additionalSeparator = UIView(frame: CGRectMake(0,
cell.frame.size.height - additionalSeparatorThickness,
cell.frame.size.width,
additionalSeparatorThickness))
additionalSeparator.backgroundColor = UIColor.redColor()
cell.addSubview(additionalSeparator)
}
}

my develop environment is

- Xcode 7.0
- 7A220 Swift 2.0
- iOS 9.0

above answers not fully work for me

after try, my finally working solution is:


let indent_large_enought_to_hidden:CGFloat = 10000
cell.separatorInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, indent_large_enought_to_hidden, 0, 0) // indent large engough for separator(including cell' content) to hidden separator
cell.indentationWidth = indent_large_enought_to_hidden * -1 // adjust the cell's content to show normally
cell.indentationLevel = 1 // must add this, otherwise default is 0, now actual indentation = indentationWidth * indentationLevel = 10000 * 1 = -10000

and the effect is:

In iOS 7, the UITableView grouped style cell separator looks a bit different. It looks a bit like this:

I tried Kemenaran's [answer](

) of doing this:

cell.separatorInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 10000, 0, 0);

However that doesn't seem to work for me. I'm not sure why. So I decided to use Hiren's [answer](

[To see links please register here]

), but using `UIView` instead of `UIImageView`, and draws the line in the iOS 7 style:

UIColor iOS7LineColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.82f green:0.82f blue:0.82f alpha:1.0f];

//First cell in a section
if (indexPath.row == 0) {

UIView *line = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, 1)];
line.backgroundColor = iOS7LineColor;
[cell addSubview:line];
[cell bringSubviewToFront:line];

} else if (indexPath.row == [self.tableViewCellSubtitles count] - 1) {

UIView *line = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(21, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, 1)];
line.backgroundColor = iOS7LineColor;
[cell addSubview:line];
[cell bringSubviewToFront:line];

UIView *lineBottom = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 43, self.view.frame.size.width, 1)];
lineBottom.backgroundColor = iOS7LineColor;
[cell addSubview:lineBottom];
[cell bringSubviewToFront:lineBottom];

} else {

//Last cell in the table view
UIView *line = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(21, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, 1)];
line.backgroundColor = iOS7LineColor;
[cell addSubview:line];
[cell bringSubviewToFront:line];
}

If you use this, make sure you plug in the correct table view height in the second if statement. I hope this is useful for someone.

If you don't want to draw the separator yourself, use this:

// Hide the cell separator by moving it to the far right
cell.separatorInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 10000, 0, 0);

This API is only available starting from iOS 7 though.

in viewDidLoad() {

tableView.separatorStyle = UITableViewCellSeparatorStyle.None

}

Use this subclass, set `separatorInset` does not work for iOS 9.2.1, content would be squeezed.

@interface NSPZeroMarginCell : UITableViewCell

@property (nonatomic, assign) BOOL separatorHidden;

@end

@implementation NSPZeroMarginCell

- (void) layoutSubviews {
[super layoutSubviews];

for (UIView *view in self.subviews) {
if (![view isKindOfClass:[UIControl class]]) {
if (CGRectGetHeight(view.frame) < 3) {
view.hidden = self.separatorHidden;
}
}
}
}

@end

I do not believe this approach will work under any circumstance with dynamic cells...

if (indexPath.row == self.newCarArray.count-1) {
cell.separatorInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0.f, cell.bounds.size.width, 0.f, 0.f);
}

It doesn't matter which tableview method you do it in for dynamic cells the cell you changed the inset property on will always have the inset property set now every time it is dequeued causing a rampage of missing line separators... That is until you change it yourself.

Something like this worked for me:

if indexPath.row == franchises.count - 1 {
cell.separatorInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, cell.contentView.bounds.width, 0, 0)
} else {
cell.separatorInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, cell.contentView.bounds.width, 0)
}

That way you update ur data structure state at every load
