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

There's one simple solution:

@IBOutlet var tapButton: UIButton!{
didSet{
let image = UIImage(named: imageColor[randNum])
tapButton.setImage(image, forState: UIControlState.Normal)
}

Besides that, in the Attribute Inspector, Set Button type to 'Custom'

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

First I would put the image you wanted inside the Assets.xcassets folder. Just drag it in. Then you can call it whatever you want by double-clicking on it. Lets say that it is called "redTap".

For code you would put:

@IBOutlet var tapButton: UIButton!

override func viewDidLoad() {

    super.viewDidLoad()

    let redTapImage = UIImage(named: "redTap")
    tapButton.setImage(redTapImage, forState: UIControlState.Normal)
}

Answer 4

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 5

let button = UIButton(type: .Custom)
let image = UIImage(named:"redTap")?.imageWithRenderingMode(.AlwaysTemplate)
button.setImage(image, forState: .Normal)
button.tintColor = UIColor.redColor()

Answer 6

Let image = UIImage(named : "redTap.png") tapButton.setImage(image, .Normal)
