UIView background color in Swift

Question

Is there a way to set the UIView background color with Swift?

I know that in Objective-C, you would use self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];,

Answer 1

Try This, It worked like a charm! for me,

The simplest way to add backgroundColor programmatically by using ColorLiteral.

You need to add the property ColorLiteral, Xcode will prompt you with a whole list of colors in which you can choose any color. The advantage of doing this is we use lesser code, add HEX values or RGB. You will also get the recently used colors from the storyboard.

Follow steps ,

1) Add below line of code in viewDidLoad() ,

self.view.backgroundColor = ColorLiteral

and clicked on enter button .

2) Display square box next to =

3) When Clicked on Square Box Xcode will prompt you with a whole list of colors which you can choose any colors also you can set HEX values or RGB

4) You can successfully set the colors .

Hope this will help some one to set backgroundColor in different ways.
