ios - Programmatically coded UIButton not showing on my view

ios, uibutton, viewdidload

Solution

I think you may be inserting the button correctly, but just can't see it because it has no background and the text isn't showing.

Try using a rounded rect button system button, just to see if that makes it show up. Set the text correctly. I'll also remove setting the font, just incase there's a problem with the font.

// backButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
backButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeSystem];
backButton.frame = CGRectMake(10, 25, 150, 75);
[backButton setTitle:@"Back" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[self.view addSubview:backButton];

Update: `UIButtonTypeRoundedRect` has beed deprecated.

Problem

. Hello, I am trying to add a UIButton and other items to my UIViewController programmatically and from what I have read and seen in other SO questions I should be on the right track with this code: ``` - (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad]; UIButton *backButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom]; backButton = [[UIButton alloc] init]; backButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom]; backButton.frame = CGRectMake(10, 25, 150, 75); backButton.titleLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica-Bold" size:15]; backButton.titleLabel.text = @"Back"; [self.view addSubview:backButton]; // Do any additional setup after loading the view. } ``` Now that code is placed in the viewDidLoad Method and it does not appear, which leads me to the question - What am I doing wrong? When I want to change the color of the background and put in the viewDidLoad it works fine. Cheers Jeff
