Answer 1

you make image of button having red color and text on it..and set the image on it...

This is the code for setting the image on button..

[but1 setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"LeftBack.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];//setting image on button.

Answer 2

USE buttonOBJ.contentHorizontalAlignment=UIControlContentHorizontalAlignmentLeft

Answer 3

Could you post a code for creating a button? Maybe you have it as a RoundRectButton, try CustomButton instead.

Answer 4

Use of imageNamed is not recommended due to memory issues. prefer using instead loading the image from file like this:

NSString *path = [[NSString alloc]  initWithFormat:@"%@/%@", [[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath], @"fileName.png"];
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:path];
[path release], path = nil;

Answer 5

NSString *path = [[NSString alloc]  initWithFormat:@"%@/%@", [[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath], @"fileName.png"];
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:path];
[path release], path = nil;
