Answer 1

in swift 5.1 :

   override func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
       return 2
   }
   override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
       return 1
   }

   override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, heightForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> CGFloat {
       return 15
   }

   override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, heightForFooterInSection section: Int) -> CGFloat {
       return 30
   } 

Answer 2

Simply make the content of your cell clearcolor and give yourself padding by adding height. Add the background image (or color) of your cell however you'd like afterwards by inserting a new view or label of shorter height.

This way you can maintain a table with multiple sections and multiple rows.

Answer 3

Many ways to do it, but I found this is the simplest and easiest way to do so.

Set UITableView style grouped. Then have two sections and each section has only one row. Replace your image in the row.

- (NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView{
    //array is your db, here we just need how many they are
    return [array count];
}
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section{
    return 1;
}
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
    //place your image to cell
}
- (float)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section{
    //this is the space
    return 50;
}

Answer 4

You can do it in just 3 lines.

First set gray color of your main view after that follow these lines.

cell.separatorInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(20, 20, 20, 20);
cell.layer.borderWidth = 5;
cell.layer.borderColor = [UIColor whiteColor].CGColor;

Answer 5

1.First you can Increase heightForRowAtIndexPath size

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
    return 150;
}

2. Then add custom view on tableViewCell. then set view.frame according padding you want.
