Add two buttons in footer in the same row - ios

Question

hello I want to add two buttons on my ViewController programmatically like this
What I have done is this
func createButton(buttonTitle: String,buttonAction: Selector) -> UIButton{
let button = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.System) as UIButton
button.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, CGRectGetWidth(self.view.frame)/2, 48)
// button.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
button.setTitle(buttonTitle, forState: UIControlState.Normal)
button.addTarget(self, action:buttonAction, forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside)
button.setTitleColor(UIColor.whiteColor(), forState:UIControlState.Normal)
button.titleLabel?.font = UIFont(name: Variables.MONTESERRAT_REGULAR, size: 20.0)
button.backgroundColor = UIColor().blueColor() //top
button.titleEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0.0,10.0, 10.0, 0.0)
return button
}
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, viewForFooterInSection section: Int) -> UIView? {
let footerView = UIView()
footerView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, CGRectGetWidth(self.view.frame), 48)
bottomButton = createButton("PUBLISH", buttonAction: "Publish")
footerView.addSubview(bottomButton!)
return footerView
}
At the moment it only prints one button. for second button I am doing this
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, viewForFooterInSection section: Int) -> UIView? {
let footerView = UIView()
footerView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, CGRectGetWidth(self.view.frame), 48)
bottomButton = createButton("PUBLISH", buttonAction: "Publish")
bottomButton2 = createButton("Delete", buttonAction: "Delete")
footerView.addSubview(bottomButton!)
footerView.addSubview(bottomButton2!)
return footerView
}
This code is not printing two buttons. just printing only one

I think the problem is that both buttons have the same position, so one is showing above the other.
Try this:
func createButton(buttonTitle: String,buttonAction: Selector, buttonNumber : Int) -> UIButton{
let backgroundColor = buttonNumber == 0 ? UIColor.blueColor() : UIColor.orangeColor()
let space : CGFloat = 5
let button = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.System) as UIButton
let width = (CGRectGetWidth(self.view.frame) - space)/2
let xPos = buttonNumber == 0 ? 0 : width + space
button.frame = CGRectMake(xPos, 0, width, 48)
// button.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
button.setTitle(buttonTitle, forState: UIControlState.Normal)
button.addTarget(self, action:buttonAction, forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside)
button.setTitleColor(UIColor.whiteColor(), forState:UIControlState.Normal)
// button.titleLabel?.font = UIFont(name: Variables.MONTESERRAT_REGULAR, size: 20.0)
button.backgroundColor = backgroundColor
button.titleEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0.0,10.0, 10.0, 0.0)
return button
}
And then add it like so:
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, viewForFooterInSection section: Int) -> UIView? {
let footerView = UIView()
footerView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, CGRectGetWidth(self.view.frame), 48)
bottomButton = createButton("PUBLISH", buttonAction: "Publish", buttonNumber: 0)
bottomButton2 = createButton("Delete", buttonAction: "Delete", buttonNumber: 1)
footerView.addSubview(bottomButton!)
footerView.addSubview(bottomButton2!)
return footerView
}
