Set Background Gradient on Button in Swift

Question

I have no idea how to set the background gradient on a button (without making the background gradient an image). This is so different from Android.

Here\'s a class I

Answer 1

For Swift 2.0 to give gradients color to UIButton

let gradient: CAGradientLayer = CAGradientLayer()

gradient.colors = [(UIColor(red: 59.0/255.0, green: 187.0/255.0, blue: 182.0/255.0, alpha: 1.00).CGColor), (UIColor(red: 57.0/255.0, green: 174.0/255.0, blue: 236.0/255.0, alpha: 1.00).CGColor)]
gradient.locations = [0.0 , 1.0]

gradient.startPoint = CGPoint(x: 0.0, y: 1.0)
gradient.endPoint = CGPoint(x: 1.0, y: 1.0)
gradient.frame = CGRect(x: 0.0, y: 0.0, width: btn.frame.size.width, height: btn.frame.size.height)
btn.layer.insertSublayer(gradient, atIndex: 0)
