TableView resizing - only when button clicks - ios

Question

I am having some issues with my table view resizing - As it looks when the page loads :
And then once the button is clicked
As you can see, the button click renders the table to be of the correct size - how can I achieve this from the outset - as it makes it look much neater
My code for the class is as follows;

positionOfSelected = 1;
var result = false;
for answer in countries{
if(answer.selected){
result = true;
break;
}
positionOfSelected++;
}
return result;
}

}

tableView.reloadData();
}
func alertView(alertView: UIAlertView!, clickedButtonAtIndex buttonIndex: Int) {
if (buttonIndex == 0) {
//Do something
}
}
}

I recently had this issue. Here is an elegant solution:
tableView.tableFooterView = UIView()
