Can someone please instruct me on the easiest way to change the font size for the text in a UITableView section header?
I have the section titles implemented using the following method:
- (NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
Then, I understand how to successfully change the section header height using this method:
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
I have the UITableView cells populated using this method:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
However, I'm stuck as to how to actually increase the font size - or for that matter the font style - of the section header text?
Can someone please assist? Thanks.
Unfortunately, you may have to override this:
In Objective-C:
- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
In Swift:
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, viewForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> UIView?
Try something like this:
In Objective-C:
- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section {
UILabel *myLabel = [[UILabel alloc] init];
myLabel.frame = CGRectMake(20, 8, 320, 20);
myLabel.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:18];
myLabel.text = [self tableView:tableView titleForHeaderInSection:section];
UIView *headerView = [[UIView alloc] init];
[headerView addSubview:myLabel];
return headerView;
}
In Swift:
func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, viewForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> UIView? {
let myLabel = UILabel()
myLabel.frame = CGRect(x: 20, y: 8, width: 320, height: 20)
myLabel.font = UIFont.boldSystemFont(ofSize: 18)
myLabel.text = self.tableView(tableView, titleForHeaderInSection: section)
let headerView = UIView()
headerView.addSubview(myLabel)
return headerView
}
