iPhone - inserting space between custom table cells in UITableView

Question

Hi all,

I have a UITableView with custom cells in it. I'd like to add a little red bar between the cells to have the cells be more distinct.

Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Use the separatorStyle and separatorColor properties of the UITableView. For example:

- (void) viewDidLoad
{
  self.tableView.separatorColor = [UIColor redColor];
  self.tableView.separatorStyle = UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleSingleLine;
}

That style is the default, there are some others, but depending on what OS you are targeting (the etched style is only available as of 3.2, for example).
