Answer 1

check this code
UIView *container = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 200, 44)];
container.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
UIButton *btn = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[btn setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 44, 44)];
[btn setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"button0.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[btn addTarget:self action:#selector(btnAction:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[btn setShowsTouchWhenHighlighted:YES];
[buttonContainer addSubview:button0];
//add your spacer images and button1 and button2...
self.navigationItem.titleView = container;

You can try like this way
UIView *topView = [[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
UIButton * button = [[UIButton alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
[button addTarget:self action:#selector(buttonAction:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[button setTitle:#"Title here" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[button setTitleColor:[UIColor blackColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[button sizeToFit];
[topView addSubview:button];
[topView sizeToFit];
self.navigationItem.titleView = topView;
-(void)buttonAction:(Id) sender {
NSLog(#"button clicked");
}

I think its pretty straight, you can use titleView property of UINavigationItem :
-(void)addCenterButton {
UIImage *meImage = [[UIImage alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#/me.png", kSelfBundlePath]];
UIButton *button = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame::CGRectMake(0, 0, 40, 20)];
[button setImage:meImage forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[button addTarget:self action:#selector(twitterButton) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
self.navigationItem.titleView = button;
}
