Changing navigationController title after viewdidload - ios

Question

When I set self.navigationItem.title in viewdidload the title appears correctly, Later based on user interaction I am updating the title. The length of title is fixated to length of the title that is set in viewdidload.
This is want happening in my code
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setTitleTextAttributes:#{
[UIColor brownColor]: NSForegroundColorAttributeName,
[UIFont fontWithName:#"HelveticaNeue-Medium" size:12.0]: NSFontAttributeName}];
self.navigationItem.title = #"My Account";
}
- (void)updateTitleWithUserName {
self.navigationItem.title = #"Test User 167";
}
Result:
Test...
Any suggestion how to fix this?

Answer 1

Try using a label for title so you can adjust its size to fit like this on viewDidLoad, then just change tlabel on update and assign it to the nav title. (Manage color and fonts as you wish)
self.title = #"Your TiTle Text";
UILabel* tlabel=[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0, 200, 40)];
tlabel.text=self.navigationItem.title;
tlabel.textColor=[UIColor whiteColor];
tlabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"Helvetica-Bold" size: 30.0];
tlabel.backgroundColor =[UIColor clearColor];
tlabel.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth=YES;
self.navigationItem.titleView=tlabel;

Answer 2

try this
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
titleLabel=[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0, 200, 40)];// create instance variable UILabel * titleLabel;
titleLabel.text=#"My Account";
titleLabel.textColor=[UIColor blackColor];
titleLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"HelveticaNeue-Medium" size: 16.0];
titleLabel.backgroundColor =[UIColor clearColor];
titleLabel.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;
titleLabel.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth=YES;
self.navigationItem.titleView= titleLabel;
}
- (void)updateTitleWithUserName
{
titleLabel.text = #"Test User 167";
}
