UITableView one sided Border color?

Question

I\'d like to have a tableview border styled like this one,only the left side is colored.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

The easiest way I can think of is to add a little view in the content view:

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";

    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    if (cell == nil) {
        cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleValue1 reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
        //Just a small view
        UIView *lineView=[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(X_POS, Y_POS, LINE_WIDTH, CELL_HEIGHT)];
        [lineView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]];
        [[cell contentView] addSubview:lineView];
        [lineView release];

    }
    return cell;
}

A simple way would be to add a UIImageView to your cells that has a small width and the same height with the cell (example). Another approach would be to use an image as a background for each cell, and add this border in the actual graphic that you will use (example). And if you want to make it in a layer level, a good start is this example. I hope that helps!
