How to indent only UITableViewCell content not the separator? - ios

Question

If I use this code to indent from left, everything is indented (separator + content)
table.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 20, 0, 0);
Same if I use this:
cell.layoutMargins = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 20, 0, 0);
This doesn't help neither, because it doesn't move the image.
cell.indentationLevel = 10;

You can use a CustomTableCell to get what you want:
At first, in ViewController:
#import "ViewController.h"
#import "MyTableCell.h"
#interface ViewController ()
#property UITableView *tableView;
#end
#implementation ViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
_tableView = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.width, [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.height)];
_tableView.separatorStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone;
_tableView.backgroundColor = [UIColor grayColor];
_tableView.dataSource = self;
_tableView.delegate = self;
[self.view addSubview:_tableView];
}
-(NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section{
return 20;
}
-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
MyTableCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:#"MyCell"];
if (nil == cell) {
cell = [[MyTableCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:#"MyCell"];
}
//Update data for cell
return cell;
}
#end
This is MyTableCell.h:
#import "MyTableCell.h"
#interface MyTableCell()
#property UIView *containerView;
#property UIView *separationLine;
#end
#implementation MyTableCell
-(id)initWithStyle:(UITableViewCellStyle)style reuseIdentifier:(NSString *)reuseIdentifier{
self = [super initWithStyle:style reuseIdentifier:reuseIdentifier];
_containerView = [[UIView alloc] init];
_containerView.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
[self addSubview:_containerView];
_separationLine = [[UIView alloc] init];
_separationLine.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
[self addSubview:_separationLine];
return self;
}
-(void)layoutSubviews{
_containerView.frame = CGRectMake(20, 0, self.frame.size.width-20, self.frame.size.height-1);
_separationLine.frame = CGRectMake(10, self.frame.size.height-1, self.frame.size.width-10, 1);
}
#end
And this is the screenshot for the code:
You can modify the code in "layoutSubviews" as your wish.
Hope it can help you.
