Hi everyone!

I wrote this ui code, but the button isnt showing up. What's up?

Here's the code:

import ui

def pressed (sender):
    sender.tint_color = 1.00, 0.00, 0.00

view = ui.View()
view.name = "tic tac toe"
view.background_color = 0.90, 0.90, 0.90
view.present("sheet")


button = ui.Button()
button.flex = "LRTB"
button.action = pressed
view.add_subview(button)
button.center = (view.width *0.5,view.height *0.5)
button.title = "nothing"
button.background_image = ui.Image('Ant')

When you create a button without a title or icon, it gets a zero width/height, which makes it invisible. You'd either have to set the size explicitly, or pass a title to the constructor:

button = ui.Button(title='nothing')

Your next problem will probably be that the background image doesn't show up. Use ui.Image.named('Ant') instead of ui.Image('Ant') to fix that.

Thank you!
