Question

Is there a way one can change the spacing between textLabel and detailTextLabel in a UITableViewCell ? (without subclassing UITableViewCell)

Answer 1

Create a custom subclass of UITableViewCell, and implement the -layoutSubviews method to do this:

- (void) layoutSubviews {
  [super layoutSubviews];
  //my custom repositioning here
}

If you wanted to do it without subclassing, you could do it via method swizzling, but on the whole, that’s a Bad Idea™.
