By default there is a single line separator in uitableview.

But I want to put my customized line as a separator.

Is it possible? How?

If you want to do more than change the color of the separator using the separatorColor property of the UITableView then you could set the separatorStyle property to UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleNone and then either:

  • create custom UITableViewCells that include your custom seperator within them
  • create alternate [UITableViewCell][6]s that include your custom separator

For example, if your table currently displays 5 rows you could update it to display 9 rows and the rows at index 1, 3, 5, 7 would be separator cells.
