Change pressed color of UIButton [duplicate]

Question

Is there any way to change the color of a UIButton when it's pressed?

The default seems to be a blue color, but I don't see where or how to change this to a custom color.

Thanks!

Answer 1

If you are using storyboard then in inspector window you can change the highlight tint property to the color you want on button click event.



Look at the Highlight Tint property in image.

I ultimately followed the following poster's suggestion. It worked perfectly.

In my particular case I created a subclass of UIButton, with the final code as:

-(void) setHighlighted:(BOOL)highlighted
{
    if(highlighted) {
        self.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:1 green:0.643 blue:0.282 alpha:1];
    } else {
        self.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:1 green:1 blue:1 alpha:1];
    }
    [super setHighlighted:highlighted];
}

Easy as pie.
