Can't make seperator insets in UI table view custom cell

Question

I'm trying to make separators with 20 pt insets from left and right. whatever I do I still get a full line from one edge to the other.

what I tried: In attributes inspector choose separator - Custom Inset and added 20 pixel from left and right.

I also tried in viewDidLoad -

self.tableView.separatorStyle = UITableViewCellSeparatorStyle.SingleLine
self.tableView.separatorInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 20, 0, 20)

I still get a full line.. any help will be appreciated thanks

Do setSeparatorInset in willDisplayCell,

-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    if ([cell respondsToSelector:@selector(setSeparatorInset:)]) {
           [cell setSeparatorInset:UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 20, 0, 20)];
    }
    if ([cell respondsToSelector:@selector(setPreservesSuperviewLayoutMargins:)]) {
        [cell setPreservesSuperviewLayoutMargins:NO];
    }
    if ([cell respondsToSelector:@selector(setLayoutMargins:)]) {
        [cell setLayoutMargins:UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 20, 0, 20)];
    }
}

You can set separator insets in interface builder as well

Go to attribute inspector there you change under separator inset to the value whatever u want
