Question

I\'m trying to create a button which has some text beneath the icon (sorta like the app buttons) however it seems to be quite difficult to achieve. Any ideas how can I go ab

If you subclass UIButton and override layoutSubviews, you can use the below to center the image and place the title centered below it:

kTextTopPadding is a constant you'll have to introduce that determines the space between the image and the text below it.

-(void)layoutSubviews {
    [super layoutSubviews];

    // Move the image to the top and center it horizontally
    CGRect imageFrame = self.imageView.frame;
    imageFrame.origin.y = 0;
    imageFrame.origin.x = (self.frame.size.width / 2) - (imageFrame.size.width / 2);
    self.imageView.frame = imageFrame;

    // Adjust the label size to fit the text, and move it below the image
    CGRect titleLabelFrame = self.titleLabel.frame;
    CGSize labelSize = [self.titleLabel.text sizeWithFont:self.titleLabel.font
                                        constrainedToSize:CGSizeMake(self.frame.size.width, CGFLOAT_MAX)
                                        lineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByWordWrapping];
    titleLabelFrame.size.width = labelSize.width;
    titleLabelFrame.size.height = labelSize.height;
    titleLabelFrame.origin.x = (self.frame.size.width / 2) - (labelSize.width / 2);
    titleLabelFrame.origin.y = self.imageView.frame.origin.y + self.imageView.frame.size.height + kTextTopPadding;
    self.titleLabel.frame = titleLabelFrame;

}
