I've added a UISegmentedControl to a UINavigation Bar, and when I tried to add a UIBarButtonItem programmatically in viewDidLoad viewController using the following code:
UIBarButtonItem *timeTableBarButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"blueRoundRect"]
style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain
target:self
action:#selector(popUpTimeTable)];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = timeTableBarButton;
There are no button showing at all. I wonder since I already have a UISegmentedControl, is it possible to do so?
It is possible to add the Bar button in navigation bar and there is no way your segment control should be blocking right bar button item. Please make sure that your self.navigationItem is not nil.

A user arrives at this viewController from the previous one through a push segue, so I want there to be a back button in the UINavigationBar to allow them to return.
Normally this back button would appear by default if I right clicked on the viewController in storyboard and selected Embed in > Navigation Controller, but doing this is causing crashes, and I prefer doing things programmatically, so I decided to do it in viewDidLoad like so:
// Nav bar
UINavigationBar *navbar = [[UINavigationBar alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 50)];
// Back Button
UIBarButtonItem *backButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Back" style: UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:#selector(Back)];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = backButton;
[self.view addSubview:navbar];
This successfuly adds a navigation bar up top, but it doesn't add the back button as expected. I've tried the solutions given here, here, and here, but none have solved the problem.
You have constructed a UINavigationBar and a UIBarButtonItem but never connected the two.
UINavigationController manages a UINavigationBar for you and sets it's topItem to be the navigationItem of the topmost view controller in the navigation stack. If you need to build your own navigation bar then you need to manage it's item stack yourself. Take a look at UINavigationBar's - pushNavigationItem:animated: method.
However given that you seem to want the look and functionality of a UINavigationController it is unclear to me why you are adding a UINavigationBar view yourself instead of using that container view controller.
I feel daft asking this question, but I haven't been able to get this to work. I have a NavController->TableViewController->WebViewController. I'm trying to change the title of the backButton on the WVC from the default "Back" to "Reference".
This should be a simple matter of setting the text property of the Back button either in Storyboard (which isn't working) or in code of my WebViewController's viewDidLoad method:
self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem.title = #"Reference";
Is this just a bug or am I missing something?
Put this in your tableviewController
UIBarButtonItem *backButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Reference" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:nil action:nil];
self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = backButton;
Screen shot
From document
If you want to specify a custom image or title for the back button, you can assign a custom bar button item (with your custom title or image) to this property instead.
You should set it in your TableViewController, not in your WebViewContorller
Solved: I had added a grey activity indicator in a small view in the nav bar of the WVC. After I removed it, the code worked fine. Thanks #Leo, #Jacky, #Jaleel!
this work for me
self.navigationController.navigationBar.topItem.backBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Reference" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:nil action:nil];
So I am just using a normal View Controller. I dragged a Navigation bar to the top and added a UIBarButtonItem with the 'pause' identifier.
I want to be able to change that identifier to the 'play' one.
Is this possible? I can't find any information on it.
I tried creating a new one, but not really sure where to go from there.
UIBarButtonItem *flipButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithTitle:#"Flip"
style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered
target:self
action:#selector(flipView)];
Any help would be great.
You're looking for the UIBarButtonSystemItemPlay. Just set it up, assign your selector and target, and choose which barButtonItem you want.
UIBarButtonItem *playButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemPlay target:self action:#selector(playButtonPressed:)];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = playButton;//Or leftBarButtonItem if you want it to be on the left
I've a WebviewViewController and a navigation bar with the Back Bar Button. Now I want two buttons on the right of the bar, a goBack and a goForward. I've searching for a while and none of the answers works properly.
There's a way to add them in the storyboard or only programmatically? If so, how do I do it?
I did it in the past, it's easy:
myBackBarButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:barButtonImage
style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain
target:myWebView
action:#selector(goBack)];
myForwardButtom = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:anotherBarButtonImage
style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain
target:myWebView
action:#selector(goForward)];
Where myWebView is your UIWebView (In case it's your class, use self)
If your buttons are already created, then just add the target and the action to them:
myBackButton.target = myWebView;
myBackButton.action = #selector(goBack);
What you are doing is adding the action goForward: and goBack: of the target that is your webview, to those buttons.
I'm trying to have a button on the right side of my navigation controller - after this works I'd like the button to be as near to invisible as possible while still working. Maybe setting to high transparency or changing the colour to the navigation bar colour (whatever is cheaper for memory).
First though I can't seem to get a visible or working button on the right side of my navigation bar:
self.navigationController.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem =
[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"coin" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleDone
target:self action:#selector(changeToInAppScene:)];
You have to assign to self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem (the navigation item of the current view controller), not self.navigationController.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem .
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
UIBarButtonItem *rightBar = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithTitle:#"Coin" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:#selector(changeToInAppScene:)];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = rightBar;
}
