I'm trying to update a button title field with an NSAttributedString. So I tried to set the attributed title but it's not working properly. It does not display the correct attributed properties I've put into the NSAttributedString. I've come to the conclusion that either my method for initializing the NSAttributedString is incorrect or the button is overriding the color.
I get the raw value of the string, but not with the attributed properties.
Card Struct
struct Card {
private var shape : Shape = Shape.none
private var color : Color = Color.none
private var number : Number = Number.none
private var shading : Shading = Shading.none
//These attributes are not showing up
private var strokeTextAttributes : [NSAttributedStringKey:Any] = [NSAttributedStringKey:Any]()
private var manipulatedValue : String = ""
init(shape : Shape, color : Color, number : Number, shading : Shading){
self.shape = shape
self.color = color
self.number = number
self.shading = shading
//How many multiples of the shape should be on the card
for _ in 1...number.rawValue{
manipulatedValue.append(shape.rawValue)
}
//0 is the NSStringKey, 1 is the UIColor
strokeTextAttributes[color.rawValue.0] = color.rawValue.1
}
func rawValue() -> NSAttributedString{
return NSAttributedString(string: manipulatedValue, attributes: strokeTextAttributes)
}
}
ViewController Class
class ViewController: UIViewController {
private var game : Set = Set()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
for index in 0...game.cardsInPlay.count-1{
cardButtons[index].layer.borderWidth = 3.0
cardButtons[index].layer.borderColor = UIColor.black.cgColor
cardButtons[index].layer.cornerRadius = 8.0
cardButtons[index].setAttributedTitle(game.cardsInPlay[index]!.rawValue(), for: UIControlState.normal)
}
}
@IBOutlet var cardButtons: [UIButton]!
}
I tried hard coding the values into the initializer of the Card struct. But the same instance would recur. The button displays the proper shape of the card and number, but not the correct color. The color will be the default color in the Main.Storyboard inspector. Light blue. The problem is either the dictionary is not working so strokeTextAttributes doesn't contain anything meaningful, or UIButton is doing something goofy.
