How to insert UIButtons of Dynamic size into a UIStackView dynamically?

Question

This is working great:

                let label = UILabel()
                label.text = VARIABLE_LENGTH_STRING
                stackView?.addArrangedSubview(label)

but this does not work

                let button = UIButton()
                button.setTitle(VARIABLE_LENGTH_STRING, for: .normal)
                stackView?.addArrangedSubview(button)

Nothing displays! any idea why? I'd expect labels to behave pretty simularly to buttons...

Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

The problem is that by default - a new UIButton() has white text and a white background --- grrrr!

i fixed this by doing:

button.setTitleColor(.blue, for: .normal)
