Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

first of all, of course you can do this using swift, and now this is the code that you need to put in your viewController to make this work
you need to put your viewController as UITableViewDelegate and then implement this methods
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, heightForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> CGFloat {
return X; //X is the value of height of your header
}
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, viewForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> UIView? {
let headerView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: self.tableView.frame.size.width, height: X)) //X is the value of height of your header
let label = UILabel(frame: headerView.frame)
label.text = "TESTING"
label.textAlignment = NSTextAlignment.Center
headerView.addSubview(label)
return headerView;
}
I hope this help you

Sounds like you are wanting to use:
tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, viewForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> UIView? {
}
Using this you could code the UI you are looking for, create the label and set the frame to what you need and set the text to what you would want it to be. Inside would either if check or use a switch statement for section, and set the text accordingly, then simply return the label or view, however you decide to implement your solution. I have done something like this in a tableView footer, I'll post the code and link to the documentation for reference:
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, viewForFooterInSection section: Int) -> UIView? {
let footerView = UIView.init(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, tableView.frame.size.width, 50))
//label
let label : UILabel = UILabel.init(frame: CGRectMake(30, 0, 150, 50))
label.text = "Calorie Total :"
//label to hold calorie total for the section
let totalLabel = UILabel.init(frame: CGRectMake(185, 0, 50, 50))
var total = Int()
//grab the total for the section
switch section {
case 0:
total = calculateCalories(breakfastFoodArray)
break
case 1:
total = calculateCalories(lunchFoodArray)
break
case 2:
total = calculateCalories(dinnerFoodArray)
break
case 3:
total = calculateCalories(snackFoodArray)
break
default:
break
}
totalLabel.text = String(total)
footerView.addSubview(label)
footerView.addSubview(totalLabel)
let footerExentsionView = UIView.init(frame: CGRectMake(0, 50, tableView.frame.size.width, 10))
footerExentsionView.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
footerView.addSubview(footerExentsionView)
return footerView
}
