find out the colour of the title inside a uibutton - swift

Question

You can set the colour of a button by doing setTitleColor(.white, for: .normal), which will set the button to white. But what if wanted to check the colour of the title inside the button?
I tried
let color = titleColor(for: .normal) and let color = titleLabel?.textColor but when I try to set that color elsewhere, nothing happens.
Use:
extension UIButton {
func loadingIndicator(show: Bool) {
let tag = 9876
var color: UIColor?
if show {
color = titleColor(for: .normal)
let indicator = UIActivityIndicatorView()
let buttonHeight = self.bounds.size.height
let buttonWidth = self.bounds.size.width
indicator.center = CGPoint(x: buttonWidth/2, y: buttonHeight/2)
indicator.tag = tag
indicator.color = UIColor.white
setTitleColor(.clear, for: .normal)
self.addSubview(indicator)
indicator.startAnimating()
} else {
if let indicator = self.viewWithTag(tag) as? UIActivityIndicatorView {
indicator.stopAnimating()
indicator.removeFromSuperview()
setTitleColor(color, for: .normal)
}
}
}
}

This is how you can get the color of the title of the UIButton with state and than you can used it anywhere you want.
let color = btn.titleColor(for: .normal);
label.textColor = color
As you can see my Button color is correctly used in Label TextColor in this image.
This is how you will do it in the Extension
extension UIButton {
func loadingIndicator(show: Bool) {
let tag = 9876
var color: UIColor?
if show {
color = titleColor(for: .normal)
let indicator = UIActivityIndicatorView()
let buttonHeight = self.bounds.size.height
let buttonWidth = self.bounds.size.width
indicator.center = CGPoint(x: buttonWidth/2, y: buttonHeight/2)
indicator.tag = tag
indicator.color = UIColor.white
setTitleColor(.clear, for: .normal)
self.addSubview(indicator)
indicator.startAnimating()
} else {
if let indicator = self.viewWithTag(tag) as? UIActivityIndicatorView {
indicator.stopAnimating()
indicator.removeFromSuperview()
setTitleColor(color, for: .normal)
}
}
}
}
And use it like that:
//This will set the saved color for `UIButton` title
btn.loadingIndicator(show: false)
