Change the backgroundColor of the headerView

i'm trying to change the headerView Color in a Grouped tabledView. However there seem to be a weird behaviour in the second header. Where it doesnt fill the comlete header? How come this?

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, viewForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> UIView? {

    var headerView = UIView(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.width, 44))
    headerView.backgroundColor = UIColor.redColor()





    return headerView
}

override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, heightForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> CGFloat {
    return 44
}

enter image description here

Grouped tableviews have table section footers. You are seeing the grey of the footer for section. In the - (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section method return 0 or CGFLOAT_MIN to hide the footer. I think there is a situation where 0 doesn't work and you have to do CGFLOAT_MIN but try both if 0 doesn't work.

Below is swift example override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, heightForFooterInSection section: Int) -> CGFloat { return CGFLOAT_MIN; }

I think you're misinterpreting what is likely the footer of the first section as the top of the header of the second section. If you look closely, you'll see that your red areas are in fact the same height. Two things to check. First, see what your table footer height is set to--might be non zero. You can change this in interface builder. Second, try changing your table view to regular rather than grouped and see if that changes anything.
