iosipadobjective cuibackgroundcoloruitableview
I'm working on a project. I have plenty of UITableViews which are set as clear color. Their views' background color are set to my custom color and everything is fine on iPhone.
The issue comes up on iPad! I tried almost everything, but my UITableView has a white color.
I checked the other topics, like: UITableView backgroundColor always gray on iPad, but nothing worked. Also, my problem is not grey, it's white as snow!
What might be the reason of it?
All you have to do is set the selection style on the UITableViewCell instance using either:
Objective-C:
cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;
or
[cell setSelectionStyle:UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone];
Swift 2:
cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyle.None
Swift 3 and 4.x:
cell.selectionStyle = .none
Further, make sure you either don't implement -tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath: in your table view delegate or explicitly exclude the cells you want to have no action if you do implement it.

Just drag a UIView to the table. In storyboard, it will sit at the top below your custom cells. You may prefer to name it "footer".
Here it is shown in green for clarity, you'd probably want clear color.
Note that by adjusting the height, you can affect how the "bottom bounce" of the table is handled, as you prefer. (Height zero is usually fine).
To do it programmatically:
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.tableView.tableFooterView = UIView()
}
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// This will remove extra separators from tableview
self.tableView.tableFooterView = [UIView new];
}
or if you prefer,
self.tableView.tableFooterView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
Add to the table view controller...
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section {
// This will create a "invisible" footer
return CGFLOAT_MIN;
}
and if necessary...
- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return [UIView new];
// If you are not using ARC:
// return [[UIView new] autorelease];
}

Good News: According to the release notes, for iOS 10:
For versions <10:
I was seeing this in iOS 8 (8.3). Even though in IB my cells were "clear color" and their content views were "clear color" they would render as white. An imperfect but reasonable solution, since it still takes values from IB:
It seems that my dequeued reuseable cells get their background forced to white on iPad. I was able to determine this using the view hierarchy debugger.
Once I did this I was able to use the table's background color and didn't have to set a background view, although that works as well.
