Answer 1

The code below represents one way to create a UIButton programmatically in Objective C.

UIButton *mButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[mButton addTarget:self action:@selector(clickedMe:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[mButton setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"yourImage.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[mButton setTitle:@"Show View" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
mButton.frame = CGRectMake(80.0, 210.0, 160.0, 40.0);
[yourScrollView addSubview:mButton];

If you are using Interface Builder, there is a very easy way to do this:

1. Select the button and set a title and an image. Note that if you set the background instead of the image then the image will be resized if it is smaller than the button.
2. Set the position of both items by changing the edge and insets. You could even control the alignment of both in the Control section.

You could even use the same approach by code, without creating UILabels and UIImages inside as other solutions proposed.

OR

[btn setBackgroundImage:buttonImage forState:UIControlStateNormal];
