Set color of UITableView Section Header

Question

How can I set the section header of all my section to redColor, without setting them to have all the same header string, and set the font and font color.

I tried this but it gets rid of my section headers

- (UIView *) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section { UIView *headerView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, tableView.bounds.size.width, 30)]; if (section == 1) [headerView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]]; else [headerView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]]; return headerView; }

I would really appreciate some sample code.

thanks in advance

and we would appreciate some code showing what you tried.

If you are simply looking to change the background and font color s of a header view, a simpler approach may be to just use

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayHeaderView:(UIView *)view forSection:(NSInteger)section

There is a very nice example/explanation here.

Try customizing your section header view. You can extend this approach.

- (UIView *) tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section { UILabel *headerView = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, tableView.bounds.size.width, 30)]; //Put your common code here // lets say you need all background color to be white. do this here [headerView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]]; //Check the section and do section specific contents if (section == 1) [headerView setText:@"Section 1"]; else [headerView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]]; return headerView;

}

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayHeaderView:(UIView *)view forSection:(NSInteger)section { UITableViewHeaderFooterView *header = (UITableViewHeaderFooterView *)view; header.textLabel.textColor = [UIColor redColor]; CGRect headerFrame = header.frame; header.textLabel.frame = headerFrame; [header.contentView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blueColor]]; }
