Please take a look at my screenshot, the blue "Back" text always show on iphone plus (6s plus, 7 plus for both simulator and real device) . It does not show on smaller screen iphone. I tried lot of way to hide/change it from present/previous controller but no luck.
So why does it work on smaller iphone but not the plus one ?
Can anyone help me:(. Thanks.
Here is the code:
#IBAction func filter(_ sender: Any) {
let view:FilterViewController = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "FilterViewController") as! FilterViewController
view.superVC = self
view.currentFilter = currentFilter
self.setLeftCloseNavigation()
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(view, animated: true)
}
func setLeftCloseNavigation(){
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.isTranslucent = true
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(), for: .default)
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.layer.mask = nil
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.backIndicatorImage = UIImage(named: "icon_close")?.withRenderingMode(.alwaysOriginal)
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.backIndicatorTransitionMaskImage = UIImage(named: "icon_close")?.withRenderingMode(.alwaysOriginal)
navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(title: "", style: .plain, target: nil, action: nil)
}
And here is the viewDidLoad in pushed controller:
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
statusBar = UIColor.black
setResetNavigation() }
func setResetNavigation(){
navigationItem.hidesBackButton = false
let skipButton = UIButton(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 70, height: 30))
skipButton.setTitle("Reset all".localized(), for: .normal)
skipButton.setTitleColor(UIColor.black, for: .normal)
skipButton.titleLabel?.font = UIFont(name: "HJGothamMedium", size: 16)
skipButton.addTarget(self, action: #selector(resetAllClicked), for: .touchUpInside)
let skip = UIBarButtonItem(customView: skipButton)
navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = skip
}
This is the view hierarchy
Add this function :
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
setResetNavigation()
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.backItem?.title = ""
}
try this
self.navigationItem.hidesBackButton = true
Or Check your storyboard it will remain
Use the below line to remove the text
navigationController?.navigationBar.topItem?.title = ""
You can inspect your UI hierarchy and if found related view then remove that view :
You can also invoke the view debugger by choosing View UI Hierarchy from the process view options menu in the debug navigator, or by choosing Debug > View Debugging > Capture View Hierarchy.
To hide the back text you need to set navigation item title to space character on the view controller that pushes the presented view controller:
self.navigationItem.title = " "
Be aware you have to set it on the previous view controller and not on top most one. Also you have to set a space character and not an empty string !!!
Also you can do this directly on storyboard
From below code you can set backButton text colour to any colour you want.You can simply set backButton to clear textColor. So, It won't be visible when it presents.
UIBarButtonItem.appearance(whenContainedInInstancesOf: [UINavigationBar.classForCoder() as! UIAppearanceContainer.Type]).setTitleTextAttributes([NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.clear], for: .normal)
Update: If you want to go for a different approach.Check this post How to customize the navigation back symbol and navigation back text? and accepted answer.

I have been trying to fix an issue that I encountered with a tableviewcontroller.
The sections within the tableviewcontroller are views:
override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, viewForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> UIView? {
let sectionLabel = UILabel()
sectionLabel.text = Catalog.sharedInstance.allSections[section - 1].name.localized(lang: defaults.string(forKey: "language")!)
sectionLabel.font = UIFont(name: "Centabel Book", size: 25)
sectionLabel.backgroundColor = UIColor.white
sectionLabel.clipsToBounds = true
return sectionLabel
}
If I try to add a button programatically to put it over the tableview
let actionButton = JJFloatingActionButton()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Configuration of the Floating Action Button
actionButton.buttonColor = .red
actionButton.addItem { item in
self.performSegue(withIdentifier: "goToSettings", sender: nil)
}
actionButton.display(inViewController: self)
actionButton.clipsToBounds = true
// This doesn't work. It is to bring the button to the front. Now it is hidden by the sections.
view.bringSubviewToFront(actionButton)
// Checks if the language setting is nil, which means it is the first time you run the application. If then... selects English as default.
if defaults.string(forKey: "language") == nil {
defaults.set("en", forKey: "language")
}
}
... I don't know why but the viewForHeaderInSection hides the button. You can check it in the picture below:
floating button hided by the headersection
I tried to use the method:
view.bringSubviewToFront(actionButton)
and also:
actionbutton.superview?.bringSubviewToFront(actionButton)
But none of this brings the button to the front.
I am using a floating action button from github called JJFloatingActionButton. But I tried to add a simple UIButton and I got the same error. This is the code that also gave me the same error inside viewDidLoad:
let button = UIButton(frame: CGRect(x: 100, y: 1000, width: 100, height: 50))
button.backgroundColor = .green
button.setTitle("Test Button", for: .normal)
button.addTarget(self, action: #selector(buttonAction), for: .touchUpInside)
self.view.addSubview(button)
Again the same error. You can check the picture:
adding a simple UIButton happens the same problem
May be you can help me with that.
Thanks in advance.
You could try to use a regular UIViewController (not UITableViewController) and add the UITableView by hand.
Like that you would have better control over the view hierarchy.
I'd like to be able to change only the text color of the back button in the navigation bar.
As a work around, I can sort of do what I'm trying to do by creating a custom view and assigning it to navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem, but it doesn't look very good and I also lose the swipe to pop ability.
Code for the above:
let button = UIButton(type: .system)
let originalImage = #imageLiteral(resourceName: "BackButton")
let scaledImage: UIImage = UIImage(cgImage: originalImage.cgImage!, scale: 30, orientation: originalImage.imageOrientation)
button.setImage(scaledImage, for: .normal)
button.setTitle("YourTitle", for: .normal)
button.sizeToFit()
button.setTitleColor(.brown, for: .normal)
button.tintColor = .blue
navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(customView: button)
I also see things suggested like setting attributes of the back button via
navigationController?.navigationBar.topItem.backBarButtonItem?.setTitleTextAttributes([NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.red], for: .normal)
but that doesn't seem to have any effect on the look of the text, despite
print("Attributes: ", navigationController?.navigationBar.topItem?.backBarButtonItem?.titleTextAttributes(for: .normal) ?? "No attributes")
resulting in Attributes: ["NSColor": UIExtendedSRGBColorSpace 1 0 0 1].
I could set tintColor but that would change the color of the back icon in addition to the title.
So what's the best way to do what I want? Is there a way?
Am not sure whether I understood you correctly. But try the below code. This will apply to all the bar button items of your app. Place this code where it is called only once though out app lifecycle. Like application: didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:
let attribs = [NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.red, NSFontAttributeName: UIFont.boldSystemFont(ofSize: 18)]
UIBarButtonItem.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes(attribs, for: .normal)
I figured it out. You can style the back button by setting self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem in the previous view controller.
For example, in my case I had TableViewController and when you clicked on a cell, the app would transition to ViewController. In TableViewController I had
public func changeColor() {
let barButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Anything", style: .plain, target: nil, action: nil)
barButton.setTitleTextAttributes([NSForegroundColorAttributeName: UIColor.brown], for: .normal)
self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = barButton
}
and then in ViewController I had
#IBAction func buttonPressed(_ sender: Any) {
let vc = self.navigationController?.viewControllers[0] as! TableViewController
vc.changeColor()
self.title = "hello very long title asdfasdfasfdasdfasdfasdfasdfasdf"
}
As a result, pressing a button in ViewController would change the color of the title of its back button to brown.
Hi I saw too many tutorial from stack overflow for how to change backBarButton I change it but when I check I see my image(custom arrow) beside (default arrow blue one ) I see both beside of each other
I mean the back text changed but the arrow doesn't I see my custom arrow beside default iOS arrow I don't know how should I change it to see my custom arrow only ???
for more detail please check this picture to see this problem
HERE
First You need to hide the default back Button , then supply your Custom one. Following code will help you.
self.navigationItem.hidesBackButton = true
let back: UIButton = UIButton(type: UIButtonType.custom)
back.setImage(UIImage(named: "backarrow"), for: UIControlState.normal)
back.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 22, height: 22)
back.addTarget(self, action: #selector(self.backPressed), for: UIControlEvents.touchUpInside)
let left: UIBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(customView: back)
self.navigationItem.setLeftBarButton(left, animated: true)
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.topItem?.title = ""
func backPressed() {
//Do your menupulation
}
If I understand you correctly you just need to place your button into Navigation Bar and then set your image name into "image" field.
http://take.ms/Rfrtf - here is for example ;)
Solution 1
You can set default back button color's tint color to red .
UINavigationBar.appearance().tintColor = UIColor.red // add this line appdelegate
Solution 2
self.navigationItem.leftItemsSupplementBackButton = YES;
self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(title: "", style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.plain, target: nil, action: nil)
or
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItems = #[customBackButtonItem];
I have the following code:
func navbarbutton() {
UIView.animateWithDuration(0.2, animations: { () -> Void in
let current = self.navigationController?.navigationBar.frame
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.frame = CGRectMake(self.frame!.origin.x, self.frame!.origin.y, self.frame!.size.width, current!.size.height + 50)
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.layoutIfNeeded()
})
}
I'm able to increase the height of the navigation bar by 50 dp. That's not the issue for me. The issue I'm having is that the UIBarButtonItems are all aligned to the bottom. How can I get them aligned to the top so that I can add more to the bottom myself? I'm getting something as per the image:
Is it possible to get it aligned to the top?
Unfortunately you can't do that.
The view hierarchy within the UINavigationBar is private so you can't manipulate it without iterating over the subviews and going all hacky with it. This probably isn't a good idea.
Out of curiosity I looked at the Messages app in iOS 10 using the view debugger because they obviously do this. They actually achieve the layout by adding their own UIButton to replace the back and rightBarButtonItem. This is something you would be able to do however they also set the alpha of one of the internal (and private) content views to zero so that the original content is no longer visible.
This is something that you won't be able to do so easily unfortunately. You could try to hack things about until it works but remember you also need to handle pushes/pops, in call status bars, interactive transitions and rotation events.
If however you wasn't going for the iMessage style and just wanted to add some content underneath your navigation bar, why not look at pinning a UIVisualEffectView to the topLayoutGuide in your UIViewController? You can get a fairly nice look pretty easily and it saves hacking stuff about a lot. Here's an example:
Try this code:
Note: Code tested in Swift 3.
Answer 1: Updated Answer
class ViewController: UIViewController {
var customBar: UINavigationBar = UINavigationBar()
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
//Title
title = "Some Title"
// Add bar button item
navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Add", style: .plain, target: self, action: #selector(addTapped))
navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Back", style: .plain, target: self, action: #selector(addTapped))
self.customBar.frame = CGRect(x:0, y:0, width:view.frame.width, height:(navigationController?.navigationBar.frame.height)! + 50)
self.customBar.backgroundColor = UIColor.green
self.view.addSubview(customBar)
}
func addTapped() {
print("Button Pressed")
}
Output:
Answer 2:
override var isViewLoaded: Bool {
// Add bar button item
navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Add", style: .plain, target: self, action: #selector(addTapped))
navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Back", style: .plain, target: self, action: #selector(addTapped))
//Vertical and Horizonal barButtonItem position offset
navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem?.setTitlePositionAdjustment(UIOffset(horizontal: 0, vertical: 20), for: UIBarMetrics.default)
navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem?.setTitlePositionAdjustment(UIOffset(horizontal: 0, vertical: 20), for: UIBarMetrics.default)
return true
}
func addTapped() {
print("Button Pressed")
}
Note: Above code only works in isViewLoaded: Bool method.But, No luck.When, I tried this code in other viewLoad method.
Output 1: barButtonItem moved 20 pixel up vertically.
Output 2: barButtonItem moved 20 pixel down vertically.
Hope, Above code fix your problem.
EDIT
This is my current code with the programmed buttons.
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.playVideo()
var filter = UIView()
filter.frame = self.view.frame
filter.backgroundColor = UIColor.orangeColor()
filter.alpha = 0.15
self.view.addSubview(filter)
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
//Add Images
var logoImage : UIImageView
logoImage = UIImageView(frame:CGRectMake(136, 50, 102, 104));
logoImage.image = UIImage(named:"patchicon.png")
self.view.addSubview(logoImage)
var textLogo : UIImageView
textLogo = UIImageView(frame:CGRectMake(51, 0, 273, 371));
textLogo.image = UIImage(named:"logopatch.png")
self.view.addSubview(textLogo)
//Add Buttons
let buttonLogin = UIButton.buttonWithType(.Custom) as! UIButton
buttonLogin.frame = CGRectMake(16, 519, 343, 60)
buttonLogin.layer.cornerRadius = 0.2 * buttonLogin.bounds.size.width
buttonLogin.addTarget(self, action: "buttonTouched", forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside)
buttonLogin.setImage(UIImage(named:"loginButton.png"), forState: .Normal)
view.addSubview(buttonLogin)
let buttonRegister = UIButton.buttonWithType(.Custom) as! UIButton
buttonRegister.frame = CGRectMake(16, 587, 343, 60)
buttonRegister.layer.cornerRadius = 0.2 * buttonRegister.bounds.size.width
buttonRegister.addTarget(self, action: "buttonTouched2", forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside)
buttonRegister.setImage(UIImage(named:"registerButton.png"), forState: .Normal)
view.addSubview(buttonRegister)
}
func buttonTouched()
{
performSegueWithIdentifier("loginTouched", sender: nil)
}
func buttonTouched2()
{
performSegueWithIdentifier("registerTouched", sender: nil)
}
This is what my Storyboard looks like:
http://i.stack.imgur.com/MlEhI.png
How can I program these buttons further to switch into new view controllers? For instance, I want to click the register button and I want the current MainViewController to switch to a new one that will have the information for the user to sign up and so forth...
Thanks!
First, you need to add a target to the button:
buttonLogin.addTarget(self, action: "buttonTouched", forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside)
And then, add this function:
func buttonTouched()
{
println("touched")
}
To switch to a new view controller, take a look at this
Well, to switch to a "new" view controller, you need to first create that view controller in your storyboard. After that, do you see that line that links the main view controller to the other two? Click that line and go to "Attributes Inspector". In the identifier blank space, fill with whatever you want and then, in the button that you created programmatically, you need to set this:
performSegueWithIdentifier("whateverYouWant", sender: self)
Oh, and don't forget this step: select your main view controller, go to Editor > Embed In > Navigation Controller. If you don't do this, your application will crash.
Hope that helps!
EDIT: Try this:
Write some function like this outside the viewDidLoad method:
func segueToNextVC(sender: UIButton!) {
println("Button pressed, let's see what happens!")
performSegueWithIdentifier("whateverYouWant", sender: self)
}
Then, in your button in viewDidLoad, do like this:
buttonLogin.addTarget(self, action: "segueToNextVC:", forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside)
Note: Don't forget the : in segueToNextVC:, that's important!
add target to your button..
buttonLogin.addTarget(self, action: "btnpressed:", forControlEvents: .TouchUpInside)
Vtwot is my Second viewController and its Storyboard Id is ViewTwoId..
make UIButtons action like these..
func btnpressed(sender: UIButton!)
{
let jj = self.storyboard!.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("ViewTwoId") as! Vtwot
self.navigationController!.pushViewController(jj, animated: true)
}
i hope it helps..
