UITableViewCell separator refuse to disappear and NSTextAlignmentRight doesn't take effect - ios

Question

I'm using UITableView in my StoryBoard app.
Changing color work, direction doesn't work, separator line still appear.
- (void) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
cell.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"row320x44.png"]];
cell.selectedBackgroundView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"row320x44.png"]];
cell.textLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
cell.detailTextLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
cell.textLabel.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
cell.detailTextLabel.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
cell.textLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentRight;
cell.detailTextLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentRight;
tableView.separatorColor = [UIColor clearColor];
tableView.separatorStyle = UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleNone;
tableView.backgroundView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"row320x44.png"]];
}
I tried in viewDidLoad:
self.tableViewWallMessages.delegate = self;
self.tableViewWallMessages.separatorColor = [UIColor clearColor];
self.tableViewWallMessages.separatorStyle = UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleNone;
Still nothing.
Any ideas?

Try the following.
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
//set the separator colour in the table (menu)
tableView.separatorColor = [UIColor clearColor];
// Return the number of sections.
return 1;
}
If that doesnt work then try adding the following in willDisplayCell
cell.backgroundView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
Alternatively instead of using storyboard you could create it programatically
in the .h file
#interface ViewController : UIViewController <UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate>
{
UITableView *myTableView;
}
#property(nonatomic,strong)UITableView *myTableView;
in the .m file
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
myTableView = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 100)];
myTableView.dataSource = self;
myTableView.delegate = self;
[myTableView reloadData];
}
- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
//set the separator colour in the table (menu)
tableView.separatorColor = [UIColor clearColor];
// Return the number of sections.
return 1;
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
//set the number of rows in the table (menu) as 6
int noRows = 6;
return noRows;
}
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
//set the row height for the table (menu)
return 100;
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
//Create a title label in the table (menu)
UILabel *titleLabel;
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil)
{
cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
/**TITLE LABEL SETUP**/
//setup the title label
titleLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(5, 54.0, 77, 33)];
titleLabel.tag = TITLE_TAG;
//add the title label to the cell
[cell.contentView addSubview:titleLabel];
}
else
{
//recall the existing cell content if it has already been created
titleLabel = (UILabel*)[cell.contentView viewWithTag:TITLE_TAG];
}
//set the icon image as the image from the array
//set the menu item title from the array
titleLabel.text = #"some text";
//dont show the clicked cell as highlighted
cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;
return cell;
}
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
//Code to execute when a cell is clicked on
}

Try setting Separator value "None" in Storyboard file.
Your code is correct, just make sure you have connected UITableView outlet with storyboard.
