The leading whitespace is provided by default in iOS 7, even for custom cells.
Checkout this property separatorInset
of UITableviewCell to remove/add white spacing at either ends of cell's line separator.
// Remove white space
cell.separatorInset = UIEdgeInsetsZero;
Alternatively, at UITableView level, you can use this property -
if ([tableView respondsToSelector:@selector(setSeparatorInset:)]) { // Safety check for below iOS 7
[tableView setSeparatorInset:UIEdgeInsetsZero];
}
Update - Below code works on iOS 7 and iOS 8:
-(void)viewDidLayoutSubviews
{
if ([self.tableView respondsToSelector:@selector(setSeparatorInset:)]) {
[self.tableView setSeparatorInset:UIEdgeInsetsZero];
}
if ([self.tableView respondsToSelector:@selector(setLayoutMargins:)]) {
[self.tableView setLayoutMargins:UIEdgeInsetsZero];
}
}
-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
if ([cell respondsToSelector:@selector(setSeparatorInset:)]) {
[cell setSeparatorInset:UIEdgeInsetsZero];
}
if ([cell respondsToSelector:@selector(setLayoutMargins:)]) {
[cell setLayoutMargins:UIEdgeInsetsZero];
}
}
Setting the cell's background colour to the same as the contentView's background colour seems to give the best results.
cell.backgroundColor = cell.contentView.backgroundColor;
That will handle cases where the accessoryView is the wrong colour as well.
