This is really frustrating because no matter anything I do my Navigation Title will not appear at all. The view is even the root controller for the navigation
I have tried the following:
Checking the box "Shows Navigation Bar" in Interface Builder.
Using the Simulated Metrics for a Navigation bar.
Programmatically Setting the Title, hidden to false.
Selecting the Navigation Item in the side and setting the title:
I have tried and searched everything, even tried on different computers, new projects and all have ended up in runtime looking like this:
It seems that your initialViewController is not the UINavigationController, so the viewController containing that UIButton is just showing initially since it is initialViewController. It is clear from the picture.
So first of all select your UINavigationController and set it as the initialViewController in your storyboard. This modification can make you happy.. Sorry if you have already done it...
In the storyboard you have to set its property "Is initial view controller" in the navigation controller Attributes Inspector.

According to the answer in here, I need to set title to each of the ViewControllers that's referred in the TabBarController. Yes, I understand that. But when I use NavigationController, I can't seem to change the items' title even though I have set the title of both the NavigationController and the RootViewController of the NavigationController to 'Connections' in the screen shot.
The result in the TabBarController is just Item 1, Item 2, and Item 3, not Connections, Org, and Chats, as I expected.
What did I do wrong? How to do it? Thanks.
In order to work around this issue, the quickest and most direct way of solving this is via the storyboard. With the structure posted by question, you can simple drag a UITabBarItem to the NavigationController (not the UITabBarController) and XCode you should be able to customise the TabBarItems with titles and images. It should look something like this:
To set title of a view controller from storyboard
Select a view controller.
Double tap a on navigation bar that is appeared after setting root view controller.
And finally set your desired title.
Other way is just select a view controller for which you wish to change title after that select navigation bar, go to Attribute Inspector and set title.
I'm in XCode 7.2.1 and I am trying to make a view that is reusable and should have some custom elements in the navigation bar.
If I would add a view to my storyboard, connect it via a segue to the navigation controller and make sure there is a "Navigation Item" in the view, I could see the navigation bar and edit my items in it.
If I manually add a Navigation Item to a XIB however I can't see anything. Even if I switch in the simulated metrics settings Top Bar to something else than Inferred or None.
I don't want to use the storyboard, if possible. Is there a descent way to make the navigation item visible and edit it?
Thanks in advance.
I don't think you link your View Controller correctly with Navigation Controller. When you link it, you should choose with root View Controller. If you link it correctly, you don't have to add NavigationItem manually.
By the way, you shouldn't do the customization for Navigation bar directly in xib. All you can do is only to set the Title, Prompt and Back Button text.
Do it in code! I think you won't have different styles for navigation bar in different views, right? That would be too silly.
I can't solve this despite my best efforts. I also consulted the Apple documentation and several related questions here and still I have a mental block on this.
Using Xcode 6, I embedded a table view controller in a navigation controller and could set the title of the navigation bar in the table view controller, but not in the two view controllers that are connected to the table view via segues.
I did think there was a navigation bar on these two view controllers because after I embedded the table view controller in the navigation controller, it blocked out my topmost textfield in both. I repositioned that so that isn't a problem, but in storyboard I still don't seem to be able to click inside the navigation bar to add a title and now having added a navigation bar manually to test it out, I can see that there is only one navigation bar in document outline.
So do you simply have to set the title of the navigation bar programmatically or with an IBOutlet or some such? Doesn't seem like you can click into it in story board.
I am pretty sure this is a bug in Xcode... I have experienced the same issue and most of the time it was solved by restarting Xcode.
** In addition you may be able to get it solved by doing:
Drag a Navigation item from the objects pane into the viewcontroller or tableviewcontroller. This seemed to work for me. I did notice that the navigation area was missing from the "Document Outline Pane".
I hope this helps.
I had the same problem while following apple's swift guid. Dubble-clicking the "navigation bar" did nothing for me.
How I solved it:
1: Select the "navigation item" from the document outline pane.
2: Open the attributes-inspector.
3: Select the title field and write the title here instead.
I had the same problem. What worked for me was to select the controller that I couldn't set the title on, click editor -> embed in -> Navigation controller.
Then you should be able to edit the title and when finished, delete the navigation controller and reconnect the two original controllers.
The screen that was previously embedded should now contain the title you created earlier.
Try to set title programmatically -> self.navigationItem.title = #"REGISTER";
place this is your prepare for segue:
[segue.destinationViewController setTitle:#"New Task"];
Connect your Navigation Item to your class (i.e. UIViewController), and access it's title programmatically by writing the following within your viewDidLoad:
navigationItem.title = "whateverTextHere"
You can also set the view controller's "title" property instead, which will automatically set the title of a navigation item or tab bar item.
By selecting the view controller in the storyboard, you can set the title under "View Controller" in the Attributes inspector (Xcode 9):
Be sure to use a Relationship Segue, not a Manual Segue when embedding controllers.
Update to this issue if someone else need it:
Make a segue between ViewControllers
Pick Kind option as Show(e. Push)
Than change this Kind option on some deprecated - ex. Push
Now you can edit your tittle and navigation items from storyboard
Remember to change Kind option again on what you need.
None of the answers worked for me.
This worked:
Delete nav connection
Ctrl drag a new nav connection
Make it a show connection
Now you can edit the title
Delete the nav connection again
Create the original nav connection type again
It seems that this is indeed a bug in IB 🙁
I have set up a view controller in Storyboard which is embedded in a navigation controller. In this nav controller I have checked Shows Navigation Bar and Shows Toolbar and enabled a navigation bar and toolbar in Top Bar and Bottom Bar respectively in Simulated Metrics. I then "Show e.g. Push" segue from the view controller to another view controller. On both view controllers I've set up Simulated Metrics the same way, so both the navigation bar and toolbar are visible on all three controllers.
The problem is, I can add bar button items to the first view controller to both the navigation bar and the toolbar, but I cannot add a bar button item to the navigation bar on the second view controller. When I drop a button on the navigation bar, it's added to the toolbar instead. And I cannot double click the nav bar to add a title. In the outline I see there is no navigation item on the second view controller, but it is there in the first view controller.
I can probably add buttons to the navigation bar programmatically, but I want to do this visually in Storyboard. My question is, what is wrong with this setup, or is this a bug with Xcode?
For XCode 6, the UINavigationItem for the 2nd view controller onwards is not added automatically on the View Controller Object inside the storyboard. You will have to drag the UINavigationItem onto the Navigation Bar for that view Controller Object before adding UIBarButtonItem on top of it.
I am not sure why it is designed that way. I only discovered about this a few weeks ago.
If you have a ton of view controllers and very little custom auto-layout stuff in place, you can disable size classes, then re-enable it will add all missing nav bars across your storyboard.
Obviously not recommended if you have a ton of custom auto layout stuff linked up.
If you have just a single UIViewController that's missing a nav bar, just drop a UINavigationItem onto it.
If you're using Xcode 7 beta 4/5, try restarting Xcode it solved the issue for me
I just bumped into this issue and it seems to be affected by the segue that shows the view controller.
If "Kind" setting in segue is "Show (e.g. Push)", it's not possible to drag the item to top right corner. However, if you explicitly change "Kind" setting to "Push", this can be done.
Edit: actually I just noticed that "Push" is deprecated. Not sure what Apple is thinking here. However, you can just change it back to "Show" after adding the button and it seems to work :D
For second view controller in hierarchy, you can setup title in attributes, without adding "navigation item"
I think it is a bug. I had the same problem.I fixed this problem by disable the size classes, then enable it.
You can disable and enable the size classes in Interface builder doc.
It's very simple. You just need to use navigaitonItem first as the holder of the buttons and then you can add barButtonItems on top of that.
I have a .xib with a controller, a UITableViewController. It contains a UITableView, which is controlled by the right .h, .m files and IBOutlets. All works fine, but I want a Navigation Bar on top of the view. Now I saw this setting in Interface Builder, which is in the Attributes window of the UITableViewController: "Top Bar". I set this to Navigation Bar, which nicely renders an empty navigation bar above the table view.
But I don't see it on my iPhone! How can I access this navigation bar, set its title and an edit button? Do I have to connect it to an outlet somewhere? I tried to add a navigation bar manually, but that doesn't work since its a UITableView.
Can someone help me out? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
The "Top Bar" option in IB is only to simulate what your UI would look like with a Navigation Bar. To actually see a navigation bar, you'll have to embed your UIViewController within a UINavigationController.
To find out how that works, check out the "Navigation-based Application" template in Xcode and check this out: http://www.matthewcasey.co.uk/2010/05/23/tutorial-introducing-uinavigationcontroller-part-1/
