Place floating UIButton on top of UICollectionView

I'm desperately trying to place a UIButton on top of my UICollectionView. The goal is something like the check-in button from the new foursquare app.

My code currently looks like so:

UIButton *floatingButton = [[UIButton alloc] init];
[floatingButton setFrame:CGRectMake(320, 150, 50, 50)];
[floatingButton setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
[self.collectionView addSubview:floatingButton];
[self.collectionView bringSubviewToFront:floatingButton];

The problem is the button isn't anywhere.

I had the same problem. Add your button to collectionView superView, might be self.view.

[self.view addSubview:floatingButton];

and set the button as firstResponder.

[floatingButton becomeFirstResponder];

you probably want to add the button to the collectionView's parent view. most likely self.view, but its hard to say for sure without seeing more code.

instead of

[self.collectionView addSubview:floatingButton];

you probably want

[self.view addSubview:floatingButton];
