How to customize tableView separator in iPhone

Question

By default there is a single line separator in uitableview.

But I want to put my customized line as a separator.

Is it possible? How?

If you are using Custom Cells in Swift: An alternative approach is to extend UITableViewCell with a function that can draw a line at the top of that cell.

import UIKit

extension UITableViewCell {
    func addSeparatorLineToTop(){
        let lineFrame = CGRectMake(0, 0, bounds.size.width, 1)
        let line = UIView(frame: lineFrame)
        line.backgroundColor = UIColor.myGray_300()
        addSubview(line)
    }
}

Then you can add this line to any custom cell, for example in the awakeFromNib

override func awakeFromNib() {
    super.awakeFromNib()
    addSeparatorLineToTop()
}

This solution is nice because it does not mess up your storyboard and limits your extra code to 1 line.
