How to add header title for every Section in Table

Question

I have four sections in my UITableView, how do I add a header for each section? I am using the following code, but it's not working.

- (NSString *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView titleForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section { 

    if (section == 0) 
        return @"Tasks";

    if (section == 1) 
        return @"Appointments";

    if (section == 2) 
        return @"Activities";

    if (section == 3) 
        return @"Inactivities";
}

Are you sure that you've implemented tableView:heightForHeaderInSection:?

In your case the titles were actually set but the headers' heights were 0 by default. Add this UITableViewDelegate method if you haven't yet:

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section { 
    return 40; //play around with this value
}

P.S.: Consider using switch statement in such methods
