iOS Information Button

Question

On a number of iPhone applications I'm seeing a little blue circular button that, when clicked on, displays information about the application. Is this something that is built into the iOS SDK, or is it simply a custom button with a custom image?

Solution 1

You can make an info button in Interface Builder by placing a button (a Rounded Button) and changing its type into dark or light info button.

You can also crate an info button programmatically like this:

UIButton *infoButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeInfoDark];

Solution 2

It's in the Interface Builder. Place a Round-Rect button and change the type to "Info Light" or "Info Dark"

Then you simply link it to creating a new subview in which you place all the information about the app or whatever else you would like to put there.

Solution 3

• Yes, it is built into the SDK.
• Place a button in interface builder and choose info dark and info light from the button types in the attributes inspector.

Is this the button?

It is available in dark gray and light gray only.. if it is not.. Please post a link to which button you are referring to.
