Warning message shown when setting UITableViewHeaderFooterView background color

Question

class TableViewHeaderView: UITableViewHeaderFooterView {

    override func awakeFromNib() {
        super.awakeFromNib()
        self.contentView.backgroundColor = .red
    }

When set color to UITableViewHeaderFooterView, I got following warning message and color is set to HeaderView. When try to resolved warring message self.backgroundView?.backgroundColor = .red the color is not about to set.

Changing the background color of UITableViewHeaderFooterView is not supported. Use the background view configuration instead.

Do need to ignore warning message for UITableViewHeaderFooterView setting background color?

Answer 1

I think you need to create UIView and then apply there the color

your code should be like this:

self.backgroundView = UIView(frame: self.bounds)
self.backgroundView.backgroundColor = UIColor(red: 0.5, alpha: 0.5)
