Question

So, I have this code

UIButton *accessoryButton = [[UIButton alloc] init]; 

UIImage *accImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"ShareAccButton.png"];

[accessoryButton setImage:accImage forState: UIControlStateNormal];

UIView *accView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame: CGRectMake(0, 0, 40, 15)];
[accView addSubview:accessoryButton];

cell.accessoryView = accView;

In this, I was trying to make a button an accessory for a table view cell. This doesn’t work, and I am wondering how I can do this successfully. Also, how can I then connect those buttons to functions?

Answer 1

I guess you missed the frame of the button. Just init the button with a frame.
As jamihash told, you can directly assign the button as accessoryView of a cell. I hope the following code should work.

UIButton *accessoryButton = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 20, 20)]; 
UIImage *accImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"ShareAccButton"];
[accessoryButton setImage:accImage forState: UIControlStateNormal];
[accessoryButton addTarget:self action:@selector(yourMethodName) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[cell setAccessoryView:accessoryButton];
