Change UIPicker color

Question

How can I change the color of my picker?

I don't wish to change the font or the text. My picker is populate and works exactly how I want it, what I want to do is change the color from black to my custom white.

Answer 1

Take a look at: http://makeapppie.com/tag/uipickerview-in-swift/

If you want to change your title color of each element you could implement:

func pickerView(pickerView: UIPickerView, attributedTitleForRow row: Int, forComponent component: Int) -> NSAttributedString? {
    let titleData = pickerData[row]
    var myTitle = NSAttributedString(string: titleData, attributes: [NSFontAttributeName:UIFont(name: "Georgia", size: 15.0)!,NSForegroundColorAttributeName:UIColor.whiteColor()])
    return myTitle
}

Swift 3:

func pickerView(_ pickerView: UIPickerView, attributedTitleForRow row: Int, forComponent component: Int) -> NSAttributedString? {
    let titleData = pickerData[row]
    let myTitle = NSAttributedString(string: titleData!, attributes: [NSFontAttributeName:UIFont(name: "Georgia", size: 15.0)!,NSForegroundColorAttributeName:UIColor.white])
    return myTitle
}

Answer 2

*For both Date picker and Normal Picker

   override func viewDidLoad() {
   super.viewDidLoad()
   pickerView.setValue(UIColor.blue, forKey: "textColor")
   pickerView.setValue(UIColor.black, forKey: "backgroundColor")
 }

Answer 3

Swift 4.0

func pickerView(_ pickerView: UIPickerView, attributedTitleForRow row: Int, forComponent component: Int) -> NSAttributedString? {
    let titleData = arrayOfPickerData[row]
    let myTitle = NSAttributedString(string: titleData, attributes: [.font:UIFont(name: "Georgia", size: 15.0)!, .foregroundColor:UIColor.white]))
    return myTitle
}
