ios - Separation between Header and first cell -- In plain UITableView

Question

I have a table with with Plain style and only one section. I have a implemented viewForHeaderInSection: to add a custom view in the section header.

I am not able to see a separation line between my table section header view and my first cell. [See the attached image]

What am I doing wrong?

As Jeremy notes in his answer, iOS doesn't add separators above/below the headers/footers; you can just use a UIView to create a line yourself.

Here's the code to add a standard looking separator view to a header view:

CGRect sepFrame = CGRectMake(0, headerView.frame.size.height-1, 320, 1);
seperatorView = [[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:sepFrame] autorelease];
seperatorView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithWhite:224.0/255.0 alpha:1.0];
[headerView addSubview:seperatorView];

If you're trying to make it look like a normal table view cell, you probably need to add one at the top of the header view too.
