uitableview headerViewForSection: always returns nil

Question

I have a table with custom header views that no matter when, or what value I choose for section, I always get nil value. I have another table with the same problem.

Answer 1

In swift

All you need is to create an instance of UITableViewHeaderFooterView for the header view you need to return

 func tableView(tableView: UITableView, viewForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> UIView? {
        let sectionHeaderView = UITableViewHeaderFooterView()
        //customize your view here
        return sectionHeaderView
    }
