Create a button programmatically and set a background image

Question

When I try creating a button and setting a background image in Swift:

let button   = UIButton.buttonWithType(UIButtonType.System) as UIButton
    button.fram         


        

Answer 1

Try below:

let image = UIImage(named: "ImageName.png") as UIImage
var button   = UIButton.buttonWithType(UIButtonType.System) as UIButton
button.frame = CGRectMake(100, 100, 100, 100)
button .setBackgroundImage(image, forState: UIControlState.Normal)
button.addTarget(self, action: "Action:", forControlEvents:UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside)
menuView.addSubview(button)

Let me know whether if it works or not?
