How to make final footer in UITableView? - ios

Question

I tried to make a Footer in UITableView like in iOS app "Contacts".
I have simple tableView with simple array:
items = ["aa", "bb", "cc", "dd"]
I want to make empty space under last cell.
I tried to add this cellForRowAt:
if indexPath.row == self.converterItems.count-1 {
cell.separatorInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, cell.bounds.size.width, 0, 0)}
But it delete separator only for one cell.
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, viewForFooterInSection section: Int) -> UIView? {
var header :UITableViewHeaderFooterView = UITableViewHeaderFooterView()
header.contentView.backgroundColor = UIColor(red: 255.0/255.0, green: 255.0/255.0, blue: 255.0/255.0, alpha: 1)
return header
}
This method looks good, but it lost separator below last cell...

Answer 1

You should create a UIView and assign it to your table's footer view
myTableView.tableFooterView = createTableFooterView()
func createTableFooterView() -> UIView {
let footerView = UIView()
...
...
...
return footerView
}

To make the table endless. You'd better set UITableViewStyle.grouped
let tableView = UITableView(frame: CGRect.zero, style: .grouped)
And Then:
extension ViewController: UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource{
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
return [].count// your array
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "", for: indexPath)
// your cell
// yourIdentifier, and you should register cell Identifier for tableView at first
return cell
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, heightForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> CGFloat {
return CGFloat.leastNormalMagnitude
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, titleForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> String? {
return ""
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, heightForFooterInSection section: Int) -> CGFloat {
return 50
}
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, titleForFooterInSection section: Int) -> String? {
return "83 KOH"
}
}
