Can I force a UITableView to hide the separator between empty cells

Question

When using a plain-style UITableView with a large enough number of cells that the UITableView cannot display them all without scrolling  no separators appear in the empty space below the cells  If I have only a few cells the empty space below them includes separators   Is there a way that I can force a UITableView to remove the separators in the empty space  If not I ll have to load a custom background with a separator drawn in for each cell which will make it harder to inherit behavior   I found a somewhat similar question here  but I can t use a grouped UITableView in my implementation

For iOS 7   and iOS 6 1  The easiest method is to set the tableFooterView property   -  void viewDidLoad         super viewDidLoad           This will remove extra separators from tableview     self tableView tableFooterView     UIView alloc  initWithFrame CGRectZero       For previous versions  You could add this to your TableViewController  this will work for any number of sections    -  CGFloat tableView  UITableView   tableView heightForFooterInSection  NSInteger section           This will create a  invisible  footer      return 0 01f       and if it is not enough  add the following code too   -  UIView   tableView  UITableView   tableView viewForFooterInSection  NSInteger section               return  UIView new           If you are not using ARC         return   UIView new  autorelease

Using the link from Daniel  I made an extension to make it more usable     UITableViewController Ext m -  void hideEmptySeparators       UIView  v     UIView alloc  initWithFrame CGRectZero       v backgroundColor    UIColor clearColor        self tableView setTableFooterView v        v release       After some testings  I found out that the size can be 0 and it works as well  So it doesn t add some kind of margin at the end of the table  So thanks wkw for this hack  I decided to post that here since I don t like redirect
