Question

Using XCode, I am trying to figure out how to display a different image when someone clicks or presses down on one of my buttons before being taken to a second screen. For example, I have a contact icon on my home screen. When a user clicks the icon, it should change to a darker version on tap before going to the contact screen. Any help is appreciated.

-(IBAction) ButtonPressed :(id)sender
{
UIButton *tempButton = (UIButton *) sender;
int tag = tempButton.tag;
NSString *viewName;
switch (tag) 
{
    case 1:
        [FlurryAnalytics logEvent:@"Contact-Screen"];
        viewName = @"ContactScreen";
        if( self.appDelegate.sound)
            [Click play];
        [self.appDelegate moveToView:viewName];
        break;
}
}

Simple, you just have to set a different image for the buttons selected state:

[myButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"mySelectedImage"] forState:UIControlStateSelected];

Or in interface builder:

Additional UIControlState's include:

enum {
   UIControlStateNormal               = 0,
   UIControlStateHighlighted          = 1 << 0,
   UIControlStateDisabled             = 1 << 1,
   UIControlStateSelected             = 1 << 2,
   UIControlStateApplication          = 0x00FF0000,
   UIControlStateReserved             = 0xFF000000
};

The state of a control; a control can have more than one state at a
time. States are recognized differently depending on the control. For
example, a UIButton instance may be configured (using the
setImage:forState: method) to display one image when it is in its
normal state and a different image when it is highlighted.
