Question

Any idea how to move the UITableViewCell text over so that it doesn’t overlap the small image on the left hand side?

here’s a screenshot:

thanks for any help

here’s my TableCell code:

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView1 cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{ 
    UILabel* nameLb;
    UILabel* detailsLb; 

    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView1 dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:@"log-cell"]; 
    if (cell == nil){
        cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero reuseIdentifier:@"log-cell"] autorelease];        

        UIImage* img = [ImgUtil image:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"butList3_%d.png", [[SelectCategory instance] select] + 1 ]];
        UIImageView* bgImage = [[[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:img ]autorelease];
        [cell addSubview:bgImage ];
        [cell sendSubviewToBack:bgImage ];


        nameLb = [[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(5, 5, 250, 40)] autorelease];
        [nameLb setNumberOfLines:4];
        [nameLb setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
        [nameLb setTextColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
        [nameLb setTag:NAME_TEXT];
        [nameLb setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica-Bold" size:15]];
        [nameLb setMinimumFontSize:10];

        [cell addSubview:nameLb];

        //add UIImage
        cell.imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"shop.png"];

        detailsLb = [[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(5, 45, 250, 20)] autorelease];
        [detailsLb setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
        [detailsLb setTextColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
        [detailsLb setTag:DETAILS_TEXT];
        [detailsLb setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica" size:12]];
        [cell addSubview:detailsLb];


    }else {

        nameLb = (UILabel*)[cell viewWithTag:NAME_TEXT];
        detailsLb = (UILabel*)[cell viewWithTag:DETAILS_TEXT];

    }


    ObjectInfo* obj = [myList objectAtIndex:indexPath.row ] ;
    nameLb.text = [obj name];
//    cell.textLabel.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
//    cell.textLabel.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:17];

    double distance = [ProjUtil getDistanceWithLat1:currentLocation.latitude long1:currentLocation.longitude lat2:obj.location.latitude long2:obj.location.longitude];
    detailsLb.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%.2f miles", [ProjUtil kmToMi:distance]];
//    cell.detailTextLabel.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
//    cell.detailTextLabel.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:15];

    [cell setSelectionStyle:UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone];
    [cell setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];

    ///[cell setAccessoryType:UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator];
    return cell;
}

When you create the label you are positioning them with this line:

detailsLb = [[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(5, 45, 250, 20)] autorelease];

This sets the frame of your label. CGRectMake is a function that gives you a CGRect, in this case with origin (5,45), width 250 and height 20.

If you want to move the labels over to the right, increase the x value of your frame (the 5 in the CGRectMake call above).
