Remove footer of tableview

[jiang]

I’m implementing a tableview, I was trying to hide footers in section using:

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, heightForFooterInSection section: Int) -> CGFloat {
return CGFloat.leastNormalMagnitude

}

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, titleForFooterInSection section: Int) → String? {
return nil
}
but it didn’t work for me.

However, if return some string to titleforfooterInSection, like this:

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, heightForFooterInSection section: Int) -> CGFloat {
return CGFloat.leastNormalMagnitude

}

func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, titleForFooterInSection section: Int) → String? {
return “?”
}
the footer disappears, everything works smoothly.

I’m just wondering someone could explains this a bit? Thanks!

And, why the last footer is bigger than other footers in sections? I assume tableview has its own footer other than footers in section

Hi @jiang ! If you are only trying to hide footers in the tableview you can also try, self.tableView.tableFooterView?.hidden = false in the viewDidLoad. Although it appears that you’ve found a solution to hiding the footer in your case. In regards to using CGFloat.leastNormalMagnitude, my guess is that it was returning a negative value. Happy coding!

Hi,

Thanks for your answer, I have tried setting hiding footer, but it seems that it works but for the last footer which is bigger than the footers between sections.
