Question

I want to add padding to my table view cells. Thought I could do something like this but that didnt work.

-(CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath  *)indexPath
{
    UITableViewCell * cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
    return cell.frame.size.height + 20;
}

See the below link. Explains the basics of getting a variable height (for cells) UITableView along with proper padding that your require. Example just includes text. Change it to suit your requirements within the cell.
