ios7 uitableviewcell image left offset

Question

In iOS 6 and earlier a uitableviewcell\'s imageView was positioned all the way over to the left with a 0 offset. In iOS 7 though this has been changed and there is now a 15

Answer 1

It appears I was doing it the correct way. The missing piece regarding the divider between fields was setting the inset on iOS 7. You can do this in the viewdidload or viewwillload and set self.tableView.separatorInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, 0, 0);

You will need to add a check if running iOS 7 or newer as this is a new property I believe. A better option might be setting it in the storyboard by selecting the table view and then setting separator insets from default to custom.

Here is the layoutSubviews method that repositions imageView and textLabel. If you have a description add that as well.

- (void) layoutSubviews
{
    [super layoutSubviews];
    // Makes imageView get placed in the corner
    self.imageView.frame = CGRectMake( 0, 0, 80, 80 );

    // Get textlabel frame
    //self.textLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
    CGRect textlabelFrame = self.textLabel.frame;

    // Figure out new width
    textlabelFrame.size.width = textlabelFrame.size.width + textlabelFrame.origin.x - 90;
    // Change origin to what we want
    textlabelFrame.origin.x = 90;

    // Assign the the new frame to textLabel
    self.textLabel.frame = textlabelFrame;
}
