Question

How to implement a UITableView with a separator line like this:

doubly separator line

Usually, you can only set the separatorLine property of a UITableView with to single line or single line etched. Sometimes, it is not enough. So, how to implement a separator line like this?

Answer

First of all, we must know a doubly separator line is what we want our user to see. It doesn't matter if the line is composed with a single separator line and a fake line within the cell below. So this is the solution.

Solution

  1. Set the separator line to single line and color to the dark color #D6D6CE
  2. Add a white line to the cell at the top(see tableCellView.m)
  3. Add a shadow to the tableview to make the last line looks like a doubly line (see tableViewController.m)

Let's take a look at the source code.

A very important NOTE

Take a look at the - drawRect: method, we added 0.5 to the drawing position. I don't why but if do not added this, the line will look like blurred. But the shadow is fine.
