📷 Image on the Right Side of UIButton Text - A Complete Guide 📷

Are you tired of having your image on the left side of the text in your UIButton? Well, fear not! In this guide, we will walk you through the process of putting the image on the right side of the text in a UIButton. 🚀

The Challenge 💪

One of our readers recently asked us how to achieve this without using a subview. They wanted a UIButton with a background image, text, and an image in it. However, by default, the image appears on the left side of the text. 😕

The Solution 🙌

Fortunately, there is a straightforward solution to this problem. Simply follow these steps:

1. Create a custom UIButton subclass or use the existing UIButton subclass you are using.

2. Override the layoutSubviews method in the subclass.

3. Inside the layoutSubviews method, call the superclass's implementation using super.layoutSubviews().

4. After calling the superclass, adjust the position of the image and text within the button using the titleEdgeInsets and imageEdgeInsets properties.

5. Specify negative values for the titleEdgeInsets to shift the text towards the right side.

6. Specify positive values for the imageEdgeInsets to shift the image towards the right side.

Here's an example implementation that puts the image on the right side of the text in a UIButton:

class MyButton: UIButton {
    override func layoutSubviews() {
        super.layoutSubviews()
        
        // Shift the text towards the right
        self.titleEdgeInsets.left = self.bounds.width - self.imageView!.frame.width - self.titleLabel!.frame.width
        
        // Shift the image towards the right
        self.imageEdgeInsets.left = self.titleLabel!.frame.width
    }
}

By following these steps, you will be able to achieve the desired layout without the need for subviews. 🎉

Common Pitfalls to Avoid 🚧

Keep in mind the following potential issues that you might encounter:

• Make sure to set an appropriate background image for your button to avoid any visibility issues.

• The titleEdgeInsets and imageEdgeInsets values might need adjustment based on your specific button layout requirements.

That's it! 😎
