TableView's Rows Seperating Lines flickers as user Scrolls

Hi !

The tableView’s lines will flicker(disappear and re-appear) as user scroll through it. I realize it happens for most of the tableviews i worked with. Is there a way to resolve this? Thanks!

This is a simulator issue because you don’t have the skin at 100%.  Because a 1 pixel line at 640x960 is 1 pixel. When you view it smaller, say 320x480, the line scales to 1/2 pixel, but you can’t show 1/2 pixel, so some times you will get a line, some times you want depending on where it is when the screen is being resampled down.

Hi Rob! Thanks for the response! However the problem doesn’t just persist in simulator , when build on device the lines flicker as well. In addition, i havent found a way to make the table row’s lines thicker. If that is the case, how should i solve it programmatically?

Hi Corona!

Would like to ask if theres a solution to this? Apparently on the iPad it doesnt flicker because of the bigger resolution. But on Iphone6 and anything lesser , it flickers. I believe like what Rod said, its due to the pixel size. Is there a way to make it such that the strokewidth of the tableview by default is 2 instead of 1? Either that or an extra parameter at the table view to adjust this. This would fix the problem smoothly. Thanks.

I always use a 2 pixel line for things like that. I believe it is the device aliasing which affects the final output. On iPhone 6 (not plus) it could to be worse because of the under sampling they perform (but probably not.)
