How can I create a basic UIButton
programmatically? For example in my view controller, when executing the viewDidLoad
method, three UIButton<
For creating UIButton programmatically we can create in both objective c and swift
SWIFT 3
let buttonSwift = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.system) as UIButton
//OR
let buttonSwift = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.Custom) as UIButton
//Set Frame for Button
buttonSwift.frame = CGRect(x: 100, y: 100, width: 200, height: 100)
//Set title for button
buttonSwift.setTitle("ClickMe", for: .normal)
//If you want to set color for button title
buttonSwift.setTitleColor(UIColor.white, for: .normal)
//If you want to set Background color for button
buttonSwift.backgroundColor = UIColor.black
//If you want to set tag for button
buttonSwift.tag = 0
//If you want to add or set image for button
let image = UIImage(named: "YourImageName") as UIImage?
buttonSwift.setImage(image, for: .normal)
//If you want to add or set Background image for button
buttonSwift.setBackgroundImage(image, for: .normal)
//Add action for button
buttonSwift.addTarget(self, action: #selector(actionPressMe), for:.touchUpInside)
//Add button as SubView to Super View
self.view.addSubview(buttonSwift)
UIButton Action Method
func actionPressMe(sender: UIButton!)
{
NSLog("Clicked button tag is %@", sender.tag)
OR
print("Clicked button tag is \(sender.tag)")
//Then do whatever you want to do here
........
}
OBJECTIVE C
UIButton *buttonObjectiveC = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
OR
UIButton *buttonObjectiveC = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeSystem];
buttonObjectiveC.frame = CGRectMake(200, 100, 200, 100);
//Set title for button
[buttonObjectiveC setTitle:@"ClickMe" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
//If you want to set color for button title
[buttonObjectiveC setTitleColor:[UIColor whiteColor] forState: UIControlStateNormal];
//If you want to set Background color for button
[buttonObjectiveC setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
//If you want to set tag for button
buttonSwift.tag = 0;
//If you want to add or set image for button
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"YourImageName"];
[buttonObjectiveC setImage:image forState:UIControlStateNormal];
//If you want to add or set Background image for button
[buttonObjectiveC setBackgroundImage:image forState:UIControlStateNormal];
//Add action for button
[buttonObjectiveC addTarget:self action:@selector(actionPressMe:)forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
//Add button as SubView to Super View
[self.view addSubview:buttonObjectiveC];
UIButton Action Method
- (void)actionPressMe:(UIButton *)sender
{
NSLog(@"Clicked button tag is %@",sender.tag);
//Then do whatever you want to do here
..........
}
