Setting UIButton image results in blue button in iOS 7

Question

On iOS 6 SDK I wrote the following lines of code to display an image inside a button:

NSURL *thumbURL2 = [NSURL URLWithString:@\"http://example.com/thumbs/2.         


        

Answer 1

In Swift 4, initialize your UIButton and assign uyour image Data as follows:

let myButton = UIButton(type: .cutsom)
myButton.setImage(UIImage(data:myImageData), for: .normal)

Answer 2

In iOS 13 -- just set the Tint property to White, while keeping the type of the UIButton as Custom

Answer 3

None of the given solutions were working for me. If you do not set an initial image in Storyboard, you can still change the image of the button by using setBackgroundImage.

For your example, only a minor change is needed.

NSURL *thumbURL2 = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://example.com/thumbs/2.jpg"];
NSData *thumbData2 = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:thumbURL2];
UIImage *thumb2 = [UIImage imageWithData:thumbData2];
[btn2 setBackgroundImage:thumb2 forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[self.view addSubview:btn2];
