Question

I am working on a todo list application. It’s however i cant seems to align my checkbox image properly with the cell.textLabel.text.

My problem for the code below is the words “test test” got cover by my checkbox image, which only left with “st test”

My code for the checkbox button image like

UIButton *button = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(5.0, 7.0, 25.0, 25.0)];

UIImage *uncheckedButtonImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"unchecked_checkbox.png"];

[button setImage:uncheckedButtonImage forState:UIControlStateNormal];

[cell.contentView addSubview:button];

and my cell textlabel is just

cell.textLabel.text = @"test test";

Is there anyway the align the textLabel text to move a bit to the right?

Answer 1

The simplest solution would be to look at the “Indentation” properties of UITableViewCell. See the documentation for more info. Subclassing the cell and adding your own UILabel would give you the most control though.
