Setting uibutton frame not working - objective-c

Question

I have values in dictionaries that will make a frame of a uibutton
tags = (
{
height = "15.513672";
text = jeans;
width = "39.808105";
x = "225.500000";
y = "265.000000";
},
{
height = "15.513672";
text = jacket;
width = "44.080078";
x = "190.000000";
y = "156.500000";
}
);
I set the frame of uibuttons with the values from the dictionaries
for (int i = 0; i<[tags count]; i++) {
NSLog(#"adding tags");
NSMutableDictionary *propertiesdict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
propertiesdict = [[tags objectAtIndex:i] mutableCopy];
float x = [[dict objectForKey:#"x"] floatValue];
float y = [[dict objectForKey:#"y"] floatValue];
float width = [[dict objectForKey:#"width"] floatValue];
float height = [[dict objectForKey:#"height"] floatValue];
NSString *title = [dict objectForKey:#"text"];
UIButton *button = [[UIButton alloc] init];
[button setFrame:CGRectMake(x, y, width, height)];
[button setTitle:title forState:UIControlStateNormal];
button.layer.cornerRadius = 2.5;
//button.alpha = 0.9;
[button.titleLabel setFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:13]];
[button setBackgroundColor:[UIColor viewFlipsideBackgroundColor]];
button.tag = i;
[button addTarget:self action:#selector(tappedOnTag:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[tagsView addSubview:button];
}
After adding the buttons to the subview, the NSLog shows that each button has a frame (0,0,0,0) which differs from when I set the frame in the for loop.
2015-10-15 12:25:17.787 kyss[1018:316548] tapped on tags view. Number of subviews = 2. Subviews: (
"<UIButton: 0x15f732330; frame = (0 0; 0 0); opaque = NO; layer = <CALayer: 0x15f72eb60>>",
"<UIButton: 0x15f6d10e0; frame = (0 0; 0 0); opaque = NO; tag = 1; layer = <CALayer: 0x15f6b3790>>"
)

Let's take a look at the code...
for (int i = 0; i<[tags count]; i++) {
NSLog(#"adding tags");
NSMutableDictionary *propertiesdict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
propertiesdict = [[tags objectAtIndex:i] mutableCopy];
You create a new dictionary and immediately overwrite the reference with an item from the tags array.
float x = [[dict objectForKey:#"x"] floatValue];
float y = [[dict objectForKey:#"y"] floatValue];
float width = [[dict objectForKey:#"width"] floatValue];
float height = [[dict objectForKey:#"height"] floatValue];
You reference dict, which isn't defined in the code you posted. It's safe to assume that it's not the same as propertiesdict, so you're getting nil references, thus the value 0 for each assignment.
NSString *title = [dict objectForKey:#"text"];
Again with the dict.
UIButton *button = [[UIButton alloc] init];
[button setFrame:CGRectMake(x, y, width, height)];
[button setTitle:title forState:UIControlStateNormal];
button.layer.cornerRadius = 2.5;
//button.alpha = 0.9;
[button.titleLabel setFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:13]];
[button setBackgroundColor:[UIColor viewFlipsideBackgroundColor]];
button.tag = i;
[button addTarget:self action:#selector(tappedOnTag:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[tagsView addSubview:button];
}
The rest of the code is ok.
Anyway, your problem is referencing the wrong dictionary. Did you not notice that the title is wrong too?
