Setting an image for a UIButton in code



How do you set the image for a UIButton in code?





I have this:







UIButton *btnTwo = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];

btnTwo.frame = CGRectMake(40, 140, 240, 30);

[btnTwo setTitle:@"vc2:v1" forState:UIControlStateNormal];

[btnTwo addTarget:self action:@selector(goToOne) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

[self.view addSubview:btnTwo];







but don't see what will set the image for it.





Any help appreciated, Thanks // :)

  1. Try something like:

    btnImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"image.png"];
    [btnTwo setImage:btnImage forState:UIControlStateNormal];

  2. Mike's solution will just show the image, but any title set on the button will not be visible, because you can either set the title or the image.

    If you want to set both (your image and title) use the following code:

    btnImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"image.png"];
    [btnTwo setBackgroundImage:btnImage forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    [btnTwo setTitle:@"Title" forState:UIControlStateNormal];

  3. You can put the image in either of the way:

    UIButton *btnTwo = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
    btnTwo.frame = CGRectMake(40, 140, 240, 30);
    [btnTwo setTitle:@"vc2:v1" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    [btnTwo addTarget:self action:@selector(goToOne) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];


    [btnTwo setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"name.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];

    //OR setting as background image

    [btnTwo setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"name.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];

    [self.view addSubview:btnTwo];

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
