Is there a way to hide the footer of UITableView? - ios

Question

I have a table view that is inside a viewcontroller, the tableview resizes according to the dynamic cells, sometimes there are only 1 rows, sometimes more, the problem is that the footer of the tableview occupies a lot of space, i want the footer to hide, i tries using the delegate method viewForFooterInSection, and also setting the footer height to 0 in viewdidload method, and to 1.0 in heightForFooterInSection, and the footer is still showing, here is a photo of the tableview, i made the footer background black to check where is it
this is the code i use in viewdidload:
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let notificationName = Notification.Name(rawValue: "ErrorGettingReportDetail")
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(self.mostrarErrorDetalle), name: notificationName, object: nil)
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
/*self.backView.layer.cornerRadius = 10
self.backView.layer.masksToBounds = true*/
self.backScrollView.layer.cornerRadius = 10
self.backScrollView.layer.masksToBounds = true
self.commentTextView.delegate = self
let tap: UITapGestureRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: "dismissCommentsPopUp")
view.addGestureRecognizer(tap)
self.tagsTableView.dataSource = self
self.commentTextView.autocorrectionType = .no
self.tagsTableView.estimatedRowHeight = 40
self.tagsTableView.rowHeight = UITableViewAutomaticDimension
}
and this is the code i use for the tableview:
//MARK: -TagsTableView
func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
return 1
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
if(self.reporte != nil){
if((self.reporte?.atributosInfo?.count)! > 0){
return (self.reporte?.atributosInfo?.count)!
}else{
//self.tagsTableView.isHidden = true
return 0
}
}else{
return 0
}
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
if(KRProgressHUD.isVisible){
KRProgressHUD.dismiss()
}
if(self.reporte != nil){
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "atributoCell") as! AtributoTableViewCell
let atributosInfo = self.reporte?.atributosInfo![indexPath.row]
cell.configureCellWith(atributoInfo: atributosInfo!)
cell.atributo = atributosInfo
print(indexPath.row)
let height = cell.frame.height
self.tagsTableViewHeight.constant += height
return cell
}else{
let cell = UITableViewCell()
//self.tagsTableViewHeight.constant -= cell.frame.height
return cell
}
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, heightForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGFloat {
return 100
}
//MARK END
any help will be appreciated.

please use this
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, heightForFooterInSection section: Int) -> CGFloat {
return .leastNonzeroMagnitude
}

You can use:
tableView.tableFooterView?.isHidden = true

Answer 3

Try this in viewDidLoad:
tagsTableView.tableFooterView = UIView()
There is a section footer and a tableView footer.
