iPhone UIButton - image position

Question

I have a UIButton with text \"Explore the app\" and UIImage (>) In Interface Builder it looks like:

[ (>) Explore t         


        

Answer 1

Building on previous answers. If you want to have a margin between the icon and the title of the button, the code has to change a little to prevent floating of the label and icon above the bounds of intrinsically sized buttons.

let margin = CGFloat(4.0)
button.titleEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, -button.imageView.frame.size.width, 0, button.imageView.frame.size.width);
button.imageEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, button.titleLabel.frame.size.width, 0, -button.titleLabel.frame.size.width)
button.contentEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, margin, 0, margin)

The last code line is important for the intrinsically content size calculation for auto layout.
