Changing color of section header in UITableview

Question

Hello, 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.

you need to implement this method in the UITableViewDelegate protocol:

- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section

Here is a link to the documentation

... and do something like this (sub in your own color):

UIView *section = [[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, tableView.bounds.size.width, 22)] autorelease];
[section setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
return section;

You can also use the section integer to alternate colors or something similar. I think the default height for the sections is 22, but you can make it whatever you want. Is this what you meant by your question? Hope this helps.
