- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)atableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {return 20;}

Implement this function in your m.-File. The value which is returned by this function consist of the height of the rows (px).

No.. heightForRowAtIndexPath makes a row larger with his Height.. i dont mean that. i mean the distance between 2 rows not the height of the row it self – Emre Akman Aug 17 '11 at 15:00
ok, but then your example sketch is not so clear. there is a default border between two rows and i guess you cannot change this attribute. i never saw this. but you could create an empty ghost row, if i understand you right? – Malte Onken Aug 17 '11 at 15:03

Yes sorry my bad it wasnt that clear, hmmmm ill check how the outcome will be with a ghost row and changing the attributes of the border – Emre Akman Aug 17 '11 at 15:05

I am not sure I understand what you are trying to achieve here. If you simply want extra space between your rows, you can take off the border of the cell and create a custom cell with extra white space and/or extra lines. – Magic Bullet Dave Aug 17 '11 at 15:16

You can set the rowHeight property of the UITableView.

Set the row height in your UITableView - make sure it's longer than the height of your cell.

That extra row height will render as height padding.

That seems like the best solution to me - I've used UITableView pretty extensively and as far as I know there isn't any in-built support for 'padding between cells'. If you really wanted you could probably do some subclassing / overriding to achieve it yourself but just setting the row height and keeping a certain amount on the top and bottom 'empty' will achieve the desired effect – James Gupta Jul 16 '13 at 18:37
