How to check a buttons image in Xcode - ios

Question

I am currently trying to find out, whether it is possible to check which image a button uses.
Lets say I have image1 and image2.
If the buttons image is image1 do this and if buttons image is image2 do that.
But xcode doesnt give me any autofill options....
[m1 setImage:[UIImage imageNamed: #"Penguin.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
This is how i set the images. but how do i find out wheter its Penguin or Penguin2?

Answer 1

Just used This Code for Button Action on the basis of image
- (IBAction)checkButtonClicked:(UIButton *)sender {
if ([checkButton.currentImage isEqual:[UIImage imageNamed:#"checkbox.png"]])
[checkButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"Checked.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
//do some thing here for your image1
else
[checkButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"checkbox.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
//do some thing here for your image 2
}

Answer 2

Cocoa Touch was designed around the Model–View–Controller pattern, so you might want to try adopting that pattern. Instead of trying to retrieve state information – the selected penguin – from the view – the button – store it in an instance variable in your controller class.
Your code for setting the image could look like this:
self.currentImage = #"Penguin.png";
[m1 setImage:[UIImage imageNamed: currentImage] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
Then when you need to check the value:
if ([#"Penguin.png" isEqual:self.currentImage]) {
do something;
}

Answer 3

Checking the equality of images is done like so:
if ([[UIImage imageNamed:#"Penguin.png"] isEqual:m1.currentImage]) {
// do something
}

Answer 4

2 methods can be used for this:
1.
UIImage *image = self.myButton.currentBackgroundImage;
2.
myImageView.image = [myButton backgroundImageForState:myButton.state];

Answer 5

UIImage *img=[(UIButton *) sender currentImage];
if(img == [UIImage imageNamed:#"edit"])
{
//If do something
}`
try this hope it will work

Answer 6

In Swift also possible
iOS 8+
if button.currentImage?.isEqual(UIImage(named: "Penguin.png")) {
//do something here
}
iOS 7-
if timerButton.currentImage == UIImage(named: "Penguin.png") {
//do something here
}
