Question

I try to display the image above the button, I get BLUE PRINT of Image over button, I already tried this -

override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() var birdTexture1 = UIImage(named: "fish.png") as UIImage button1.frame = CGRectMake(100, 10, 50, 150) button1.setImage(birdTexture1, forState: .Normal) button1.setTitle("Testing", forState: UIControlState.Normal) button1.addTarget(self, action: "btnAction:", forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside) self.view.addSubview(button1) // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib. }

I think your UIButton should be of type UIButtonTypeCustom, not UIButtonTypeSystem. You either designed it as such, or you must update the UIButton properties in the interface builder.

Answer 2

I think we will replace this code:

 let birdTexture1 = UIImage(named: "fish.png")! as UIImage let button1:UIButton=UIButton(frame:CGRectMake(100, 50, 50, 150)) button1.setBackgroundImage(birdTexture1, forState: .Normal) button1.setTitle("Testing", forState: .Normal) button1.addTarget(self, action: #selector(ViewController.btnActionClick(_:)), forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside) self.view.addSubview(button1) @IBAction func btnActionClick(sender:AnyObject){ } 

as well as add to the target image
