iphone - How to get the name of the backgroundImage from a button?

Question

i′ve created different buttons and initalized them with an array with photos as backgroundImage.

UIButton* myButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
[myButton setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed: (NSString*) obj ] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[myButton addTarget:nil action:@selector(buttonDown: ) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

Here′s my buttonDown-method:

-(void) buttonDown:(UIButton*) sender {
NSLog(@"pressed: %@",   sender.currentBackgroundImage  );}

That traced me that: "pressed: < UIImage: 0x6625c40 >"

Now i want to know how can i get that image-name of any clicked button? Would be nice to know.Thanks for your time.

Answer 1

The way i tried to get the UIbutton's background imageName is , set the title of UIButton same that of image name and set the hidden property of button label to YES. (I was using iCarousel)

 button.titleLabel.text=[imageArray objectAtIndex:index];
button.titleLabel.hidden=YES;
[button addTarget:self action:@selector(buttonTapped:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

and in buttonTapped,

UIButton *button=(UIButton*)sender;

NSLog(@"The button title is %@",sender.titleLabel.text);
 // UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Button Tapped Is" message:sender.titleLabel.text delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Cancel" otherButtonTitles:@"OK",nil];
//[alert show];

woking fine.
