Separate detailTextLabel by an image

Question

Im trying to do this:

The separator needs to dynamically change with the length of the label. This is what i have now

UIImageView *separator = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"Shuffle"]];
separator.frame = CGRectMake(CGRectGetMaxX(cell.detailTextLabel.frame), CGRectGetHeight(cell.frame) / 2,200, 20);
[cell addSubview:separator];

The image is placed there but it doesn't dynamically change like I thought it would.

You could use "•" as your separator, or maybe `NSAttributedString` and `NSTextAttachment` . — Larme, Oct 26 '15 at 16:56
By doing a research since there are question about that in StackOverFlow? — Larme, Oct 26 '15 at 16:57
My mistake. I thought that by giving your two key words (`NSAttributedString` and `NSTextAttachment`), it would be enough. Here a link: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22357171/how-to-resize-an-image-or-done-as-a-nsattributedstring-nstextattachment-or-set — Larme, Oct 26 '15 at 17:21

If you only want a •, simply set the label text to

cell.detailTextLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"ARTIST: %@ • LENGTH: %@", artistName, formattedTimeAsString];

Of course you might have to use NSLocalizedString in case you support more than one language
