Swift code to make a button.

[Michael Doise]

Hello everyone,

I have received requests on how to make a button with an action programmatically. Here is the code to use for Swift 4. You should be using Swift 4 code, so here we go.

let button = UIButton()
 button.frame = CGRect(x: self.view.frame.size.width - 60, y: 60, width: 50, height: 50)
 button.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
 button.setTitle("Name your Button ", for: .normal)
 button.addTarget(self, action: #selector(buttonAction), for: .touchUpInside)
 self.view.addSubview(button)

 @objc func buttonAction(sender: UIButton!) {
    print("Button tapped")
 }

Let me know if this doesn’t work. The target selector may be written incorrectly based on my own code.
