UIView background color in Swift

Question

Is there a way to set the UIView background color with Swift?

I know that in Objective-C, you would use self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];,

Answer 1

I see that this question is solved, but, I want to add some information than can help someone.

if you want use hex to set background color, I found this function and work:

func UIColorFromHex(rgbValue:UInt32, alpha:Double=1.0)->UIColor {
    let red = CGFloat((rgbValue & 0xFF0000) >> 16)/256.0
    let green = CGFloat((rgbValue & 0xFF00) >> 8)/256.0
    let blue = CGFloat(rgbValue & 0xFF)/256.0

    return UIColor(red:red, green:green, blue:blue, alpha:CGFloat(alpha))
}

I use this function as follows:

view.backgroundColor = UIColorFromHex(0x323232,alpha: 1)

some times you must use self:

self.view.backgroundColor = UIColorFromHex(0x323232,alpha: 1)

Well that was it, I hope it helps someone .

sorry for my bad english.

this work on iOS 7.1+
