How to change title color of UIButton when clicked?

Question

I have a view and I created some 8 buttons programmatically in that. The title color of buttons is white color. I want to change color of button title to green color when it is clicked. And if i click any other button, the previously clicked button title color should become white and current button title color should become green.

How to do that?

Initialize all your buttons like this

[mybutton setTitleColor:[UIColor whiteColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[mybutton setTitleColor:[UIColor greenColor] forState:UIControlStateSelected];
[mybutton addTarget:self action:@selector(onclick:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

then change the selected state of you button when clicked

-(void)onclick:(id)sender{
UIButton *button = (UIButton *)sender;
button.selected = !button.selected;
}

Create IBAction for all of the buttons, create a property @property (strong, nonatomic) UIButton *currentButton. In the action do the following:

-(IBAction)buttonClicked:(id)sender
{
    UIButton *buttonSender = (UIButton *)sender;

    [self.currentButton setTitleColor:[UIColor whiteColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    self.currentButton = buttonSender;
    [self.currentButton setTitleColor:[UIColor redColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
}

Set control state of buttons :

[btnOk setTitleColor:[UIColor yellowColor] forState:UIControlStateSelected];
[btnOk setTitleColor:[UIColor yellowColor] forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];
[btnOk setTitleColor:[UIColor yellowColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
