Answer 1

I found the solution: need to add addition line

[button setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"pressed.png"] forState:UIControlStateSelected | UIControlStateHighlighted];

Answer 2

In my case, I have to change the UIButton.Type from .custom to .system

And:

button.setImage(UIImage(named: "unchecked"), for: .normal)
button.setImage(UIImage(named: "checked"), for: [.selected, .highlighted])

When handling tapping:

button.isSelected = !button.isSelected

Answer 3

You can do this in Interface Builder.

Select the UIButton you wish to set in IB then go to the attributes inspector.

In the screen shots,I am using a custom button type , but that does not matter.

Answer 4

If someone's wondering how this works in Swift, here's my solution:

button.setImage("normal.png", forState: .Normal)
button.setImage("highlighted.png", forState: .Highlighted)
button.setImage("selected.png", forState: .Selected)

var selectedHighLightedStates: UIControlState = UIControlState.Highlighted
selectedHighLightedStates = selectedHighLightedStates.union(UIControlState.Selected)
button.setImage("selectedHighlighted.png", forState: selectedHighLightedStates)

Answer 5

Xamarin C#

Doing bitwise OR doesn't work for some reason

button.SetImage(new UIImage("ImageNormal"), UIControlState.Normal);
button.SetImage(new UIImage("ImagePressed"), UIControlState.Selected | UIControlState.Highlighted | UIControlState.Focused);

The following works

button.SetImage(new UIImage("ImageNormal"), UIControlState.Normal);
button.SetImage(new UIImage("ImagePressed"), UIControlState.Selected);
button.SetImage(new UIImage("ImagePressed"), UIControlState.Highlighted);
button.SetImage(new UIImage("ImagePressed"), UIControlState.Focused);

Answer 6

Correct me if I am wrong. By doing

   [button setSelected:YES];

you are clearly changing the state of the buttons as selected. So naturally by the code you have provided the image will that for the selected state in your case checked.png
