How to stop UINavigationBar title from animating while push transition - ios

Question

Is there any way to stop the titleView on UINavigationBar to animate when I push/pop view controllers. TitleView for each screen is same (app's logo).
Currently when I push a view, titleView on the navigation bar also slide with the view.

Answer 1

Set the title of the navigation item in each view controller to an empty string and add UILabel subview to the navigation bar:
UILabel *titleLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:self.navigationController.navigationBar.bounds];
titleLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"Avenir-Roman"
size:20.f];
titleLabel.text = #"TEST TITLE";
titleLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
[self.navigationController.navigationBar addSubview:titleLabel];
This should give you a static title that doesn't move when switching between view controllers.

Answer 2

Try,
[self.navigationController pushViewController:viewController animated:NO];

Answer 3

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
self.navigationItem.title=#"";
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view from its nib.
}

Answer 4

Swift
A feasible solution is:
Use UINavigationController delegate methods to find out when the UIViewController is being shown. Then for each UIViewController, need to make a boolean variable like isInitialized property, which help you to determine when the UIViewController is being pushed on the stack, or when it's being shown upon back of next view controller.
Your FirstViewController:
func navigationController(_ navigationController: UINavigationController, willShowViewController viewController: UIViewController, animated: Bool) {
if viewController == self {
if self.isInitialized {
var navigationBarAnimation = CATransition()
navigationBarAnimation.duration = 1.5
navigationBarAnimation.timingFunction = CAMediaTimingFunction(name: kCAMediaTimingFunctionEaseIn)
navigationBarAnimation.type = kCATransitionFade
navigationBarAnimation.subtype = kCATransitionFade
navigationBarAnimation.removedOnCompletion = true
self.navigationController?.navigationBar?.layer?.addAnimation(navigationBarAnimation, forKey: nil)
}
else
{
self.isInitialized = true;
}
}
}
func navigationController(_ navigationController: UINavigationController, didShowViewController viewController: UIViewController, animated: Bool) {
if viewController == self {
if self.isInitialized {
self.navigationController?.navigationBar?.layer?.removeAllAnimations()
}
}
}
Your SecondViewController:
func navigationController(_ navigationController: UINavigationController, willShowViewController viewController: UIViewController, animated: Bool) {
if viewController == self {
if !self.isInitialized {
var navigationBarAnimation = CATransition()
navigationBarAnimation.duration = 1.5
navigationBarAnimation.timingFunction = CAMediaTimingFunction(name: kCAMediaTimingFunctionEaseIn)
navigationBarAnimation.type = kCATransitionFade
navigationBarAnimation.subtype = kCATransitionFade
navigationBarAnimation.removedOnCompletion = true
self.navigationController?.navigationBar?.layer?.addAnimation(navigationBarAnimation, forKey: nil)
self.isInitialized = true;
}
}
}
func navigationController(_ navigationController: UINavigationController, didShowViewController viewController: UIViewController, animated: Bool) {
if viewController == self {
if self.isInitialized {
self.navigationController?.navigationBar?.layer?.removeAllAnimations()
}
}
}
