UITableView section header inset missing

Question

How do I fix the problem illustrated in the image?

The section header for the tableview is missing an inset.

Have you tried going to the Size Inspector and changing the height of the header? – Nerynesbit

No, tried it but it didn't help. Thanks though! – Anorthite

Answer 1

You probably set the separator insets to 0, either in code or in the Interface Builder (can be found in the Attributes inspector:

This also causes the titles to have no inset. The default values are 15 for left and 0 for right.

thanks! I wasn't doing that in IB, but i was calling """if ([self.tableView respondsToSelector:@selector(separatorInset)]) { [self.tableView setSeparatorInset:UIEdgeInsetsZero]; }""" – Anorthite

Answer 2

[Could you post your code of UITableViewDelegate? In UITableView, there is no API for you to set this insets in section header, so you could return a custom UIView in tableView:viewForHeaderInSection: then set the layout you want.

- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section {
    UIView *headerView = [UIView alloc] init];
    UILabel *headerLabel = [UILabel alloc] init];
    headerLabel.text = @"xxx";
    [headerLabel sizeToFit];
    headerLabel.frame = CGRectMake(20, 0, CGRectGetWidth(headerLabel.frame), CGRectGetHeight(headerLabel.frame));
    [headerView addSubview:headerLabel];
    headerView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, CGRectGetWidth(tableView.bounds), CGRectGetHeight(headerLabel.frame));
    return headerView;
}
