Question

I have button in my iOS app:

    _Button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
    UIImage *shareIMG = [UIImage imageNamed:@"button.png"];
    [_Button setBackgroundImage:shareIMG forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    [_Button setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"button_active.png"] forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];
    [_Button addSubview:titleLabel];

    UILabel * titleLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 3, shareIMG.size.width, shareIMG.size.height)];
    [titleLabel setTextAlignment:UITextAlignmentCenter];
    [titleLabel setText:@"Button";
    [_Button addSubview:titleLabel];
    [titleLabel release];
    [_Button setFrame:CGRectMake(2 * self.sendPushButton.frame.origin.x + self.sendPushButton.frame.size.width , 380 - liteIndent1 - liteIndent2 + iphone5Fix, shareIMG.size.width, shareIMG.size.height)];
    [self addSubview:_Button];

Could you help me how to make this button inactive (button_non_active.png) and un-clickable for 10 minutes after click?

Answer 1

Create a method in the same class that will re-enable it:

-(void)enableButton:(UIButton *)button {
    [button setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"button_active.png"] forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];
    button.enabled = YES;
}

And the selector that will be fired when it is pressed (you seem to be missing this from your snippet. Set it with [_Button addTarget:self action:@selector(buttonPressed:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];)

-(void)buttonPressed:(UIButton *)button {
    //do actual action here
    [button setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"button_non_active.png"] forState: UIControlStateHighlighted];
    button.enabled = NO;
    [self performSelector: @selector(enableButton:) withObject: button afterDelay: 600.0];
}
