Changing Uitableview's Section Header/Footer Title Without Reloading the Whole Table View

Changing UITableView's section header/footer title without reloading the whole table view

I managed to do it in an indirect way: I created a UILabel and set it as section header/footer.

- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section {
    // update sectionFooterView.text    
    return sectionFooterView;
}

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    // create sectionFooterView in Interface Builder, change the frame here
    // use Font-size:15 , BG-Color: clearColor , text-Color: RGB=(97,105,118) 
    // and Text-alignment:Center to look like table view's original footer
    sectionFooterView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 10, 320, 12);
}

Does anyone know a way to do this without setting a custom footer view?

Update section footer title in UITableView without reloading

If you have groupped table, you can use:

- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section {
    yourLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 17)]; //I'm not sure about the frame...
    yourLabel.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:16];
    yourLabel.shadowColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
    yourLabel.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0, 1);
    yourLabel.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;
    yourLabel.textColor = RGB(76, 86, 108);
    yourLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
    yourLabel.opaque = NO;
    return yourLabel;
}

Declare yourLabel in your .h file. Then, you can access it via

yourLabel.text = @"whatever you want";

Please check if that works :)
