i have pretty simple simple question (i hope so). How do i change the section header color in a UITableview from default blue to black transparent? Thanks in advance.
This is an old question, but I think the answer needs to be updated.
This method does not involve defining your own custom views.
In iOS 6 and up, you can easily change the background color and the text color by defining the
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayHeaderView:(UIView *)view forSection:(NSInteger)sectiondelegate method.
For example:
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayHeaderView:(UIView *)view forSection:(NSInteger)section { // Background color view.tintColor = [UIColor blackColor]; // Text Color UITableViewHeaderFooterView *header = (UITableViewHeaderFooterView *)view; [header.textLabel setTextColor:[UIColor whiteColor]]; // Another way to set the background color // Note: does not preserve gradient effect of original header // header.contentView.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor]; }
