BUILD A SIMPLE IPHONE APP, MAKING IT PRETTY = EXTRA CREDIT

Can someone kindly tell me how to complete the following task:

"Delete the button from the Storyboard and try to add it programmatically within the viewDidLoad method.

Set an image for the button using its background image property and then set the title text. This should allow you to change the text of your button without having to change the image."

When I attempted it by button when to the top and when I pressed the button nothing happened.

Thank You

Hi im having a similar problem to this..

I have tried searching and have so far got this:

[super viewDidLoad];

UIImage *button = [UIImage imageNamed:@"PredictButton.png"];
UIImage *buttonOff = [UIImage imageNamed:@"PredictButtonOff.png"];
UIImageView *buttonView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:button highlightedImage:buttonOff];
buttonView.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
UITapGestureRecognizer *tap = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:@selector(imageTapped)];
[buttonView addGestureRecognizer:tap];
buttonView.frame = CGRectMake(20, 380, 280, 40);
[self.view insertSubview:(buttonView) atIndex:0];

(*Also need to find out how it will link to change the predictionArray and change the predictionLabel.text)

Im stuck where to go next as trying to link the touchGesture so it enables the highlighted version?

To be honest i think ive made things a little too complicated already...

Thanks..

Sam

You are making this complicated. You should use UIButton which is what it is meant for if you want interaction.

What am i doing wrong?

UIButton *btnDemo = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect]; btnDemo.frame = CGRectMake(100, 100, 100, 100); [btnDemo setTitle:@"Show Alert" forState:UIControlStateNormal];

[btnDemo addTarget:self action:@selector(touchUpHandler:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self.view addSubview:btnDemo];

My Error Says Undeclered Selector touchUpHandler

The error means that you have not implemented a method with the name touchUpHandler. Essentially, you want to call a method when a user taps the button. In this case, it could be the makePrediction method.
