Change UITableViewController background color under the table

Question

I'am trying to change the color under the UITableViewController's cells but I can't do it. (gray section on screenshot after the swipe down of table)

I tried with:

self.tableView.backgroundColor = UIColor.red 

and:

self.tableView.tableFooterView?.backgroundColor = UIColor.red

I don't find any options on storyboard Could you help me?

Answer 1

you have to set tableview background view first to change tableview backgroundcolor.

let view = UIView()
view.frame = self.tableView.frame
view.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
self.tableView.backgroundView = view
