I have a Button. I want to set custom background color for highlighted state. How can I do it in SwiftUI?
Button(action: signIn) {
Text("Sign In")
}
.padding(.all)
.background(Color.red)
.cornerRadius(16)
.foregroundColor(.white)
.font(Font.body.bold())
Updated for SwiftUI beta 5
SwiftUI does actually expose an API for this: ButtonStyle
.
struct MyButtonStyle: ButtonStyle {
func makeBody(configuration: Self.Configuration) -> some View {
configuration.label
.padding()
.foregroundColor(.white)
.background(configuration.isPressed ? Color.red : Color.blue)
.cornerRadius(8.0)
}
}
// To use it
Button(action: {}) {
Text("Hello World")
}
.buttonStyle(MyButtonStyle())
As far as I can tell, theres no officially supported way to do this as of yet. Here is a little workaround that you can use. This produces the same behavior as in UIKit where tapping a button and dragging your finger off of it will keep the button highlighted.
struct HoverButton<Label>: View where Label: View {
private let action: () -> ()
private let label: () -> Label
init(action: @escaping () -> (), label: @escaping () -> Label) {
self.action = action
self.label = label
}
@State private var pressed: Bool = false
var body: some View {
Button(action: action) {
label()
.foregroundColor(pressed ? .red : .blue)
.gesture(DragGesture(minimumDistance: 0.0)
.onChanged { _ in self.pressed = true }
.onEnded { _ in self.pressed = false })
}
}
}
I was looking for a similar functionality and I did it in the following way.
I created a special View struct returning a Button in the style I need, in this struct I added a State property selected. I have a variable named 'table' which is an Int since my buttons a round buttons with numbers on it
struct TableButton: View {
@State private var selected = false
var table: Int
var body: some View {
Button("\(table)") {
self.selected.toggle()
}
.frame(width: 50, height: 50)
.background(selected ? Color.blue : Color.red)
.foregroundColor(.white)
.clipShape(Circle())
}
}
Then I use in my content View the code
HStack(spacing: 10) {
ForEach((1...6), id: \.self) { table in
TableButton(table: table)
}
}
This creates an horizontal stack with 6 buttons which color blue when selected and red when deselected.
I am not a experienced developer but just tried all possible ways until I found that this is working for me, hopefully it is useful for others as well.
