How to change button image in swift?

Question

I am working on an app which has a button. The button has no text, image or background.

So what I want to do is to give it an image in the viewDidLoad function.

Answer 1

now (swift 3 edition):

@IBOutlet var tapButton: UIButton!

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    tapButton.setImage(UIImage(named: "redTap")?.withRenderingMode(.alwaysOriginal), for: .normal)
    tapButton.setImage(UIImage(named: "redTap")?.withRenderingMode(.alwaysOriginal), for: .normal)
}

Answer 2

You don't need ".png".

If ".imageWithRenderingMode(.AlwaysOriginal)" is working for you: To keep the same image in different states, you have to set the same image/properties for the different states.

@IBOutlet var tapButton: UIButton!

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    tapButton.setImage(UIImage(named: "redTap")?.imageWithRenderingMode(.AlwaysOriginal), forState: .Normal)
    tapButton.setImage(UIImage(named: "redTap")?.imageWithRenderingMode(.AlwaysOriginal), forState: .Highlighted)
}

Answer 3

First set your button type as Custom in interface builder and set the image for normal state for your button.

Connect IBOutlet for button in class file as

@IBOutlet weak var btnCheckbox: UIButton!

in your class file in viewDidLoad set image for selected state as

btnCheckbox.setImage(UIImage.init(named: "name_of_image"), for: .selected)

Create @IBAction for in class file as

@IBAction func onTapCheckBox(_ sender: UIButton) {
    sender.isSelected = !sender.isSelected
}

Then connect @IBAction to your button's Touch up Inside event from interface builder

let button = UIButton(type: .Custom)

button.tintColor = UIColor.redColor()
