Create a button programmatically and set a background image

ios, swift, uibutton

Solution

Your code should look like below

let image = UIImage(named: "name") as UIImage?
let button   = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.Custom) as UIButton
button.frame = CGRectMake(100, 100, 100, 100)
button.setImage(image, forState: .Normal)
button.addTarget(self, action: "btnTouched:", forControlEvents:.TouchUpInside)
self.view.addSubview(button)

Problem

When I try creating a button and setting a background image in Swift: ``` let button = UIButton.buttonWithType(UIButtonType.System) as UIButton button.frame = CGRectMake(100, 100, 100, 100) button.setImage(IMAGE, forState: UIControlState.Normal) button.addTarget(self, action: "btnTouched:", forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside) self.view.addSubview(button) ``` I always get an error: "Cannot convert the expression's type 'Void' to type 'UIImage'".
