How to control table section title's indentation in iOS 7?

Question

I suppose that the iOS 7 convention is to make the table cell separators start where the text starts. I wrote the following code to do this:

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    self.tableView.separatorInset = 50.0;
}

The problem is that my section titles also get shifted by the same amount. How would I control the indentation of the section titles independently from the cell separators? I would prefer that the section titles be left aligned.

Answer 1

Don't set the separatorInset for the UITableView. Instead, set the separatorInset for the UITableViewCell in the cellForRowAtIndexPath function:

[cell setSeparatorInset:UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 50, 0, 0)];

Or do it in the story board if you prefer:
