How to change the background color of navigationBar

Question

I am trying to change the background color of the navigation bar to black but without success. I have checked the answer to this related question but none of the solutions have worked. This is what I have tried:

navigationController?.navigationBar.backgroundColor = UIColor.black
UINavigationBar.appearance().backgroundColor = UIColor.black

Answer 1

You can also change the navigation bar color for a specific view controller, this way:

extension UIViewController {
    func setCustomNavigationColor(color: UIColor = .black, isTranslucent: Bool = false ){
        self.navigationController?.navigationBar.barTintColor = color
        self.navigationController?.navigationBar.isTranslucent = isTranslucent
    }
}

call this from viewDidLoad()

setCustomNavigationColor()
