objective c - iOS: Append FontAwesome icon with title in UIBarButtonItem and Button

Question

I want a UIBarButton Item like this in my NavigationBar and

Normal UIButton like this

I already tried using these links Question 1 Question 2 Question 3 but didn't got the output.

My need is to append that FontAwesome icon with the button title text.

Can anyone help in this?

My code is:

NSString *icon = [NSString fontAwesomeIconStringForIconIdentifier:@"fa-folder-open"];

NSString *locationString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ %@", icon, @"Change"];

NSMutableAttributedString *astring = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:locationString];

[astring addAttribute:NSFontAttributeName
                value:[UIFont iconicFontOfSize:20]
                range:NSMakeRange(0,1)]; // The first character

changeFolderButton.titleLabel.attributedText = astring;

Answer 1

If code of FontAwesome Icon is "&#xf007", then set text to @"U0000f007" into Title.

Use Following code For UIButton:-

myBtn.titleLabel.font =[UIFont fontWithName:@"FontAwesome" size:20.0];
[myBtn setTitle:@"U0000f007" forState:UIControlStateNormal]];

Use Following code For UIBarButton:-

[self.barButton setTitleTextAttributes:@{
              NSFontAttributeName: [UIFont fontWithName:@"FontAwesome" size:24.0],
              NSForegroundColorAttributeName: self.view.tintColor
                                     } forState:UIControlStateNormal]; 
[self.barButton setTitle:@"U0000f007"]];

If you want to append your string with icon then use following code:-

NSString * myString = @"U0000f007 Change";
NSMutableAttributedString *astring = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:myString];
[astring addAttribute:NSFontAttributeName
                value:[UIFont fontWithName:@"FontAwesome" size:22.0]
                range:NSMakeRange(0,1)]; //If Icon is on starting position
[myBtn setAttributedTitle:astring forState:UIControlStateNormal];

Hope, this is what you're looking for. Any concern get back to me. :)
