Label Under Image in Uibutton

Label under image in UIButton

Or you can just use this category:

ObjC

@interface UIButton (VerticalLayout)

- (void)centerVerticallyWithPadding:(float)padding;
- (void)centerVertically;

@end

@implementation UIButton (VerticalLayout)

- (void)centerVerticallyWithPadding:(float)padding {
    CGSize imageSize = self.imageView.frame.size;
    CGSize titleSize = self.titleLabel.frame.size;
    CGFloat totalHeight = (imageSize.height + titleSize.height + padding);
    
    self.imageEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(- (totalHeight - imageSize.height),
                                            0.0f,
                                            0.0f,
                                            - titleSize.width);
    
    self.titleEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0.0f,
                                            - imageSize.width,
                                            - (totalHeight - titleSize.height),
                                            0.0f);
    
    self.contentEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0.0f,
                                              0.0f,
                                              titleSize.height,
                                              0.0f);
}

- (void)centerVertically {
    const CGFloat kDefaultPadding = 6.0f;
    [self centerVerticallyWithPadding:kDefaultPadding];
}

@end

Swift extension

extension UIButton {
    
    func centerVertically(padding: CGFloat = 6.0) {
        guard
            let imageViewSize = self.imageView?.frame.size,
            let titleLabelSize = self.titleLabel?.frame.size else {
            return
        }
        
        let totalHeight = imageViewSize.height + titleLabelSize.height + padding
        
        self.imageEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsets(
            top: -(totalHeight - imageViewSize.height),
            left: 0.0,
            bottom: 0.0,
            right: -titleLabelSize.width
        )
        
        self.titleEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsets(
            top: 0.0,
            left: -imageViewSize.width,
            bottom: -(totalHeight - titleLabelSize.height),
            right: 0.0
        )
        
        self.contentEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsets(
            top: 0.0,
            left: 0.0,
            bottom: titleLabelSize.height,
            right: 0.0
        )
    }
    
}

Suggestion:
If button height is less than totalHeight, then image will draw outside borders.

imageEdgeInset.top should be:

max(0, -(totalHeight - imageViewSize.height))

UIButton image on top of the text

Try using this code extension.

extension UIButton {
    func alignVertical(spacing: CGFloat = 6.0) {
        guard let imageSize = self.imageView?.image?.size,
            let text = self.titleLabel?.text,
            let font = self.titleLabel?.font
            else { return }
        self.titleEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsets(top: 0.0, left: -imageSize.width, bottom: -(imageSize.height + spacing), right: 0.0)
        let labelString = NSString(string: text)
        let titleSize = labelString.size(withAttributes: [kCTFontAttributeName as NSAttributedStringKey: font])
        self.imageEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsets(top: -(titleSize.height + spacing), left: 0.0, bottom: 0.0, right: -titleSize.width)
        let edgeOffset = abs(titleSize.height - imageSize.height) / 2.0;
        self.contentEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsets(top: edgeOffset, left: 0.0, bottom: edgeOffset, right: 0.0)
    }
}

use the extension like this

override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
    button.alignVertical()
}

storyboard positioning text below image inside a button

Yes you can do it from storyboard without writing any logic also.

1) Select button and go to Attribute Inspector in your storyboard.

2) Assign Image to the button. (Don't use background Image)

3) Set Title text to that button.

4) Now you need to set edge and Inset so first select image from edge and set Inset as you need and then select title from edge and set inset as per your need.

Hope this helps.

Button with Image and a label on bottom

UIButton has two properties you may find of interest. They are titleEdgeInsets and imageEdgeInsets.

Use this property to resize and reposition the effective drawing rectangle for the button title. You can specify a different value for each of the four insets (top, left, bottom, right). A positive value shrinks, or insets, that edge—moving it closer to the center of the button. A negative value expands, or outsets, that edge

You could play around with these to get your desired layout.

UIButton with custom image still shows titleLabel even though I set it to blank - Swift iOS

When Interface Builder isn't playing nice, I often open the Storyboard file in a text editor (I use Sublime Text) and edit it manually.

I had a similar issue - I had a button with an image, I had deleted the default "Button" title text in IB, which looked fine in Xcode, but when I ran it, the word "Button" was still there. So I found this line using Sublime Text and deleted it there:

<state key="normal" title="Button"/>

After that, it worked correctly.

Aligning text and image on UIButton with imageEdgeInsets and titleEdgeInsets

I agree the documentation on imageEdgeInsets and titleEdgeInsets should be better, but I figured out how to get the correct positioning without resorting to trial and error.

The general idea is here at this question, but that was if you wanted both text and image centered. We don't want the image and text to be centered individually, we want the image and the text to be centered together as a single entity. This is in fact what UIButton already does so we simply need to adjust the spacing.

CGFloat spacing = 10; // the amount of spacing to appear between image and title
tabBtn.imageEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, 0, spacing);
tabBtn.titleEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, spacing, 0, 0);

I also turned this into a category for UIButton so it will be easy to use:

UIButton+Position.h

@interface UIButton(ImageTitleCentering)

-(void) centerButtonAndImageWithSpacing:(CGFloat)spacing;

@end

UIButton+Position.m

@implementation UIButton(ImageTitleCentering)

-(void) centerButtonAndImageWithSpacing:(CGFloat)spacing {
    self.imageEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, 0, spacing);
    self.titleEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, spacing, 0, 0);
}

@end

So now all I have to do is:

[button centerButtonAndImageWithSpacing:10];

And I get what I need every time. No more messing with the edge insets manually.

EDIT: Swapping Image and Text

In response to @Javal in comments

Using this same mechanism, we can swap the image and the text. To accomplish the swap, simply use a negative spacing but also include the width of the text and the image. This will require frames to be known and layout performed already.

[self.view layoutIfNeeded];
CGFloat flippedSpacing = -(desiredSpacing + button.currentImage.size.width + button.titleLabel.frame.size.width);
[button centerButtonAndImageWithSpacing:flippedSpacing];

Of course you will probably want to make a nice method for this, potentially adding a second category method, this is left as an exercise to the reader.
