[ViewLoadingUtil animateToNextView:controller from:self :#""];
}
+ (void) animateToNextView:(UIViewController *)controller from:(UIViewController *)fromController :(NSString *)navTitle{
NSLog(#"animateToNextView called");
[fromController.navigationController pushViewController:controller animated:YES];

Answer 1

This solved my problem:
override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillAppear(animated: animated)
self.navigationItem.title="Title text"
}

Answer 2

In my case, it was the backItem?.title that was the problem. In both my view controller and within a custom subclass of UINavigationController I was setting it to an empty string:
func navigationController(_ navigationController: UINavigationController, willShow viewController: UIViewController, animated: Bool) {
...
navigationController.navigationBar.backItem?.title = ""
}
My guess would be that when using popViewController(animated:) the title is taken from backItem?.title and set into the main title attribute.

Answer 3

In viewWillAppear implement this:
self.navigationItem.title="Title text";

Answer 4

it usually happen when you set backItem?.title = "" because the title of the back controller is taken from this property
I face this issue from months and solved it just by commenting this line

Answer 5

Working for me solution. You can try this one:
override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillAppear(animated)
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.topItem?.title = ""
self.navigationItem.title = "Title"
}

Answer 6

Objective c solution:
- (void) viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
[super viewWillAppear: animated];
self.navigationItem.title = #"Title text";
}

Answer 7

I come from the Swift world. However I tried many solutions. These were caused by the animation. If you change the Bool to false, it will solve your problem. Finally you can put your code in the viewWillAppear function.
override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
if animated {
//...
}
}
