Adding left and right margins to a table view inside UITableViewController

Question

I am having a UITableViewController subclass and want to add left and right edge margins to the tableview. I tried below but that is not helping. I do not want to change the view hierarchy by moving tableview as subview to a UIView.

self.tableView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0.0, 20.0, 0.0, 20.0)

What can be done in this case?

I tried but since table view is the top most view, I am not able to add left and right margins. — Abhinav, Sep 18 '16 at 02:25
Have you tried setting the width equal to tableview? 0.95 (play around with the margin) — Do2, Sep 18 '16 at 04:06

After some testing myself I think your best options is to customise your TableViewCells and add a margin property there. By doing so, you can easily change the margin dynamically or set it to 0 if you want to remove it completely.

For inspiration check out the answer to this post by @ezcoding. Hope this helps.
