I've created a UITableView and am using a custom UITableViewCell for the first row of this table. The only issue is there is some sort of artifact in the top left hand corner. Clicking in the area where this box is causes it to temporarily disappear and then reappear again. The box is always there. The UITableViewCell consists of the following:
UITextView (Description)
UIImageView (Image on far right)
UILabel (Character count)
I've tried removing all of these subviews and the box still appears.
If the box still appears even if you remove all the subviews of your custom cell, then it must be coming from another cell which has a frame outside its bounds. For example, a header view. One way to test this is to make sure you enable subview clipping for all your views.

I am working on a project to get custom news feeds from Bing news. I created a custom table view cell and populated various UI items in it. But I am having a hard time to make it occupy the entire screen, it starts from extreme left and ends on the right, leaving large gap from the right margin as show in the image. Can anyone help me out, how to correctly fix it with a detailed explanation of how constraints work in Table views and Tableview cells.
Here' what it looks like in the simulator
Remove previous constraints and add constraint to your UITableView like as shown in below image.
So you UITableView will have 0 margin from edges.
Create a UITableViewController. Just drag drop a TableViewCell into it. Add identifier for that cell and use it. By default it will occupy the whole screen.
In your case I guess you might have added constraints to UITableView. Here what you should do is pin your UITableView to Top,Bottom,Right & Left or make UITableView's width equal to SuperView.
I use custom cells of subclassing UITableViewCell in a table view. And There must be space between cells. I succesfully add the space with adding a subview that I called SpaceView into the content view. But When I touched the spaceView, it is perceived as I touched the cell. And didSelectRow method called. I tried to set spaceView's UserInteractionEnabled==NO. But It doesn't work.
So my question is; Is this the right way I used to add space between cells ? Should I try to add cells for making the space ? or If its the right way, How can I prevent calling "didSelectRowAtIndexPath" method when I touched spaceView ?
like Inder said below, u can use an UIButton to solve the issue.
1) in your custom cell: at the bottom of your custom cell add a blank UIButton with the height u actually need between cells, and customize its background color according to your needs.
2) in cellforrowatindexpath: disable button of each cell. (or you can also do that in Interface Builder of previous step)
result: u have a clear disabled button that will appear as required space between cells.
Make your spaceView as UIButton (I guess it's UIView right now)
When you add UIButton that touch will be consumed by the button thus touch won't be passed to it's parent.
OR
I'm not sure if it will work or not, you can add tap gesture to your spaceView
I have a UITableViewCell which is loaded from a xib, with a handful of labels and image views. I notice that when the .selectedBackgroundView property is set (in -awakeFromNib), interaction with the cell is only possible when touching on the labels or image views within the cell.
Trying to touch any blank space in the cell does nothing. Not setting .selectedBackgroundView returns the behaviour to normal.
Does anyone have a fix for this? (Mine currently is to place an empty UILabel over the entire contents of my cell)
I have a UITableView with custom cells. In the awakeFromNib of the cell custom class I add the cell labels etc. using AutoLayout. They display fine when viewed first time.
(Blue rectangle is a single UITableViewCell)
The problem is that after I swipe the table view so that some cells goes offscreen then back again (i.e. cells are re-layout) the cell layer gets cutoff.
Another way to debug is to go to Xcode, Click Debug>View Debugging>Capture View Hierarchy on Xcode 6+. It looks like there is possibly an unused view being added to the bottom left corner of your view? Try the view debugging to see if that's the case.
I have a particular goal in mind here, searching for it is a little hard. I am trying to accomplish this (This is a photoshopped screenshot):
I have everything in this view working, except for the split row for the Company Name/ Beginning of the field row. The "Company Name" field is just a textfield, all I really want to do is shrink that neato cell background to just go behind the right side.
Create a custom table view cell that has two subviews: the text field on the left and a UITableViewCell on the right as a subview of the main table view cell. A UITableViewCell is just a UIView so you can actually add it as a subview of any view. The main table view cell will have it's background color set to transparent.
So totally complicated custom cell comes with a totally ridiculous solution. I built a view for the cell that has the one field...and another UITableView.
That second UITableView has the "Beginning of the field" text, and its cell gets the background, and I hide the background of the main cell.
I had to play around with the nested table's size and position to get the row to display properly, and make sure that the lines in the background don't shift when it hits the nested table, but it came out perfect
You could try setting the frame property of your cells backgroundView to cover only have your cell's width. Address Book handles complex forms like this with a nice look and feel--you might want to see what they've done there..
One approach would be to define a custom table view cell, set its background transparent and add the UITextField on the left and a UIButton on the right (customize it to look like your other cells), as in your screenshot.
