I need to display the email address from left side of a UIButton
, but it is being positioned in the centre.
Is there any way to set the alignment to the left side of a UIButton
?
This is my current code:
UIButton* emailBtn = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(5,30,250,height+15)];
emailBtn.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
[emailBtn setTitle:obj2.customerEmail forState:UIControlStateNormal];
emailBtn.titleLabel.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:12.5];
[emailBtn setTitleColor:[[[UIColor alloc]initWithRed:0.121 green:0.472 blue:0.823 alpha:1]autorelease] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[emailBtn addTarget:self action:@selector(emailAction:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[elementView addSubview:emailBtn];
[emailBtn release];

Set the contentHorizontalAlignment:
emailBtn.contentHorizontalAlignment = UIControlContentHorizontalAlignmentLeft;
You might also want to adjust the content left inset otherwise the text will touch the left border:
emailBtn.contentEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 10, 0, 0);
There is a small error in the code of @DyingCactus. Here is the correct solution to add an UILabel to an UIButton to align the button text to better control the button 'title':
NSString *myLabelText = @"Hello World";
UIButton *myButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
// position in the parent view and set the size of the button
myButton.frame = CGRectMake(myX, myY, myWidth, myHeight);
CGRect myButtonRect = myButton.bounds;
UILabel *myLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame: myButtonRect];
myLabel.text = myLabelText;
myLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
myLabel.textColor = [UIColor redColor];
myLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica Neue" size:14.0];
myLabel.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentLeft;
[myButton addSubview:myLabel];
[myLabel release];
Hope this helps....

Here is explained how to do it and why it works so: http://cocoathings.blogspot.com/2013/03/how-to-make-uibutton-text-left-or-right.html
Using emailBtn.titleEdgeInsets
is better than contentEdgeInsets
, in case you don't want to change the whole content position inside the button.
You can also use interface builder if you don't want to make the adjustments in code. Here I left align the text and also indent it some:
Don't forget you can also align an image in the button too.:
UIButton *btn;
btn.contentVerticalAlignment = UIControlContentVerticalAlignmentTop;
btn.contentHorizontalAlignment = UIControlContentHorizontalAlignmentLeft;
In Swift 3+:
button.contentHorizontalAlignment = .left
For Swift 2.0:
emailBtn.contentHorizontalAlignment = UIControlContentHorizontalAlignment.Left
This can help if any one needed.
Swift 4+
button.contentHorizontalAlignment = .left
button.contentVerticalAlignment = .top
button.contentEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsets(top: 10, left: 10, bottom: 10, right: 10)
