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;
}
