BackgroundView

May i ask what is the difference between making the view on the detailView a class of DetailBackgroundView in the identity inspector and using the configureView method to assign the backgroundView to the detailView. I asked this because pasan used the configureView method to change the backgroundView of the tableView but he assigned the class DetailBackgroundView to the detailView in the identity inspector when he wanted to change the backgroundView of the detailView

Hi dexter，

Good question! To me, they both achieve the same effect: to change the background color. But changing the color in code makes it easy for other people to understand what we have done. What is more, for the DetailViewController, we should use self.view = DetailBackgroundView() instead of tableView.backgroundView = DetailBackgroundView(), since we do not have a table view in this controller.
