Programmatically determining padding for grouped UITableView

Question

Is there a way to programmatically get a UITableView's 'grouped' style padding?

I'd like to size some things in my screen but I need to know how far left or right to place them on a grouped UITableView's UITableViewCell.

Answer 1

Since you are using the grouped style for your table view, you should be able to use the rectForSection: method to get the CGRect where that section will be drawn. You may have to already have added your cells to your view, however.

CGRect sectionRect = [tableView rectForSection:0];
int paddingLeft = sectionRect.origin.x;

Answer 2

As I see it, 'grouped' style padding == the origin of cell.contentView. but the value is assigned by table view only in tableView:willDisplayCell:forRowAtIndexPath: and is equal to 10 on iPhone/iPod Touch. querying it in cellForRowAtIndexPath: results in 0.
