UIButton doesn't listen to content mode setting?

Question

firstButton is a UIButton of type Custom. I\'m programmatically putting three of them across each cell of a table, thusly:

[firstButton setImage:markImage fo         


        

Answer 1

My answer is similar to Kuba's. I needed my image to be programatically set.

UIImage *image = [[UIImage alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:...];
[button setBackgroundImage:image forState:UIControlStateNormal];
button.imageView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFill; //this is needed for some reason, won't work without it.
for(UIView *view in button.subviews) {
    view.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFill;
}
