UITableView separator line disappears when selecting cells in iOS7

Solution 1:

I haven't gotten to the bottom of it yet (at first glance it seems like an iOS 7 bug..), but I have found a workaround. In tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath, if you send both messages below, the issue is visually resolved (with the probable performance cost).

[tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES];
[tableView reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:@[indexPath] withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationAutomatic];

For this to work (for me), deselectRowAtIndexPath:animated: must contain animated:YES. The animation used for reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:withRowAnimation: doesn't matter.

Solution 2:

Add this code at cell for row at indexpath

cell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;
cell.textLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

Solution 3:

in my case i was animating a row, so just i needed put some like this:

-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

[tableView beginUpdates];
[tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:NO]; 
//if you are doing any animation you have deselect the row here inside. 
[tableView endUpdates];
}

Solution 4:

@samvermette's answer solved the issue for me, But I had to deselect the selected Row first.

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath  {

    //Deselect Row
    [self.tableView deselectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath animated:YES];

    // fix for separators bug in iOS 7
    self.tableView.separatorStyle = UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleNone;
    self.tableView.separatorStyle = UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleSingleLine; }

Solution 5:

I encountered this issue when I set my cell's selection style to none programatically, and then when I SELECT my table cells programatically.

    func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
    let cell: UITableViewCell!
    if tableView == self.jobLevelTableView {
        let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cellIdentifier", for: indexPath) as! CheckboxCell

        // for testing purposes
        let checked = true

        // I used M13Checkbox here, in case anybody was wondering
        cell.checkbox.setCheckState(checked ? .checked : .unchecked, animated: false) 

        if checked {
            tableView.selectRow(at: indexPath, animated: true, scrollPosition: .none)
        }

        // CULPRIT
        cell.selectionStyle = .none
        return cell
    }

    cell = UITableViewCell()
    return cell
}

When I set the selection style on the storyboard (and removing the code equivalent), the problem went away!

Storyboard is useful
