How can I update/reload/refresh a section header view in a UITableView?

Question

I\'m willing to change a specific header view of my UITableView when I click a row.

I\'ve read all posts about it yet. I tried \"reloadData\", \"setNeed

Have you tried reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:withRowAnimation: where you set the row property of the NSIndexPath passed in as NSNotFound? So reloading just the header of section 3, for instance would look like

NSIndexPath * headerIndexPath = [NSIndexPath indexPathForRow: NSNotFound section:3];
[self.tableView reloadRowsAtIndexPaths:@[headerIndexPath] withRowAnimation: UITableViewRowAnimationAutomatic];

I guarantee nothing, but I'm pretty sure it used to work before, because I used it a couple of times.

But even if it works, it's still a hack that might get broken by Apple any time.

Ok, never mind. I tried this with iOS 7 in Xcode 5 and for some reason, even with NSNotFound as the row number, it still reloads the whole sections (with all its cells). So this does not work any more, damn.
