How to give space between two cells in tableview?

Question

I want a space between two cell in table view,

I want cell like this,

How can i do that?

Answer 1

you can't set distance between cells directly, but you can set the height for header in section to achieve the same result.

1.set the numbers of cell you need as sections:

- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView  {     return 3; // in your case, there are 3 cells } 

2.return only 1 cell for each section

- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {     return 1; } 

3.set the height for header in section to set space between cells

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section {     return 10.; // you can have your own choice, of course } 

4.set the header's background color to clear color, so it won't look weird

- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section {     UIView *headerView = [[UIView alloc] init];     headerView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];     return headerView; } 

Answer 2

The Best way to get space between two cells in TableView, declare the numbers of sections you want in delegate method of numberofsections this way

For example you have array of 10 objects

- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView {   return [array count]; //array count returns 10 }  - (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {       return 1;// this should be one because it will create space between two cells if you want space between 4 cells you can modify it. } 

Then the important point is in cellForRowAtIndexPath delegate method you need to use indexpath.section but not indexpath.row

cell.textLabel.text=[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[array objectAtIndex:indexPath.section]]; 

That is is check your tableview for the space between two cells. Enjoy!
