Change UITable section backgroundColor without loosing section Title

Question

i have changed the backgroundColor/backgroundImage of my tableviews sections.
I am using plain tableView. No worries, get worked without problems with this code:

Answer 1

Implement method below from UITableViewDelegate, and needed ui view.

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, viewForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> UIView? {
    let view = UITableViewHeaderFooterView()
    view.contentView.backgroundColor = UIColor(white: 0.97, alpha: 1)
    return view
}

If you need change footer use similar code in ...viewForFooterInSection.. method

Want to draw you own font, use similar customization:

...    
let label = UILabel(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, CGRectGetWidth(tableView.bounds), tableView.sectionHeaderHeight))
label.font = UIFont(name: "HelveticaNeue", size: 14)!
label.text = self.tableView(tableView, titleForHeaderInSection: section)
view.contentView.addSubview(label)

view.textLabel.hidden = true
