I have a button which should represent a Checkbox. When the button is clicked, the imageView.image-Property is set to another UIImage. So, I have two variables for the checked and unchecked image.
UIImage *checkedImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"check_box_checked_white.png"];
UIImage *uncheckedImage= [UIImage imageNamed:@"check_box_unchecked_white.png"];
By a click on the button the following method is executed
- (void)checkButton:(UIButton *)sender {
NSLog(@"current %@", UIImagePNGRepresentation(sender.imageView.image));
NSLog(@"checked %@", UIImagePNGRepresentation(checkedImage));
NSLog(@"unchecked %@", UIImagePNGRepresentation(uncheckedImage));
if ([UIImagePNGRepresentation(sender.imageView.image) isEqualToData:UIImagePNGRepresentation(checkedImage)]){
[sender setImage: [UIImage imageNamed:@"check_box_unchecked_white.png"] forState: UIControlStateNormal];
}
else if ([UIImagePNGRepresentation(sender.imageView.image) isEqualToData:UIImagePNGRepresentation(uncheckedImage)]){
[sender setImage: [UIImage imageNamed:@"check_box_checked_white.png"] forState: UIControlStateNormal];
} }
No statement of the two if-clauses is true and for the NSLog-Statements the console shows this

But I haven't done anything with the images in the code that is executed intermediate. What could be the reason that (in this case) the current image and the checked image are not the same?
Thanks!
Use UIButton's currentImage property and isEqual method for image comparison like this :
UIButton *btnClicked = (UIButton *)sender;
UIImage *checkedImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"check_box_checked_white.png"];
UIImage *uncheckedImage= [UIImage imageNamed:@"check_box_unchecked_white.png"];
if([btnClicked.currentImage isEqual:checkedImage]) //Check if it has checked image or not
{
//so set unchecked image
[btnClicked setImage:uncheckedImage forState: UIControlStateNormal];
}
else //button has unchecked image
{
//so set checked image
[btnClicked setImage:checkedImage forState: UIControlStateNormal];
}
EDIT : As suggested by @Michael Olenick in comment best would be to use UIButton's selected property. Default state would be NO and unchecked image on UIButton.
if(btnClicked.selected) //Check if it has checked image or not
{
//so set unchecked image
[btnClicked setImage:uncheckedImage forState: UIControlStateNormal];
}
else //button has unchecked image
{
//so set checked image
[btnClicked setImage:checkedImage forState: UIControlStateNormal];
}
btnClicked.selected = !btnClicked.selected;
