I must have overlooked something completely obvious?? but my button displays its image and size correctly, but I simply can\'t get the Title to show up.

I did a real

Answer 1

I just hab spome quite similar problem... Just set the title color, I guess the current one is white ;)

[button setTitleColor:[UIColor blackColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];

Answer 2

I found the problem!

It's not Image overriding the title. It is being push off frame by the image.

Try use this:

[btn setTitleEdgeInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(0.0, -img.size.width, 0.0, 0.0 )];

Hope it helps!

Answer 3

When you use UIButton, button uses some built-in size for its frame.

You should set the frame:

button.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, width, height);

or even better and comfortable:

[button sizeToFit];

Answer 4

I had a similar problem that the title was not shown. I forgot to set the frame property:

//set the position of the button
button.frame = CGRectMake(100, 170, 100, 30);

Answer 5

Image overrides title, you need to make the image a background image to show the title.

[button setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"left_halfscreen_button.png"] 
        forState:UIControlStateNormal];
