I'm trying to setup a different image (highlighted) when the user press the UIBarButtomItem with this code:
self.addButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"addButton"]
style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain
target:self
action:#selector(addAlert:)];
[self.addButton setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"addButtonHigh"]
forState:UIControlStateSelected
barMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = self.addButton;
But it is not working.
The button appears with the "addButton" image, but when it is pressed the "addButtonHigh" image doesn't appear.
Thank you in advance,
Victor
change UIControlState from UIControlStateSelected to UIControlStateHighlighted. If you want to change the background image highlighted. You need to change the UIControlState.
The following is the code snippet i test. it works.
self.addButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"hello" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:#selector(addAlert:)];
[self.addButton setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"font_minus_32.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal barMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
[self.addButton setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"font_plus_32.png"] forState:UIControlStateHighlighted barMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = self.addButton;
Also maybe the following code is the code you wanted.
UIButton *btn = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[btn setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"font_minus_32.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[btn setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"font_plus_32.png"] forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];
[btn addTarget:self action:#selector(addAlert:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[btn sizeToFit];
self.addButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:btn];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = self.addButton;
- (IBAction)buttonClicked:(id)sender
{
UIImage *buttonImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"home.png"];
[myButton setBackgroundImage:buttonImage forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];
}
UIControlStateHighlighted Highlighted state of a control. A control enters this state when a touch enters and exits during tracking and when there is a touch up event. You can retrieve and set this value through the highlighted property.
UIControlStateSelected Selected state of a control. For many controls, this state has no effect on behavior or appearance. But other subclasses (for example, the UISegmentedControl class) may have different appearance depending on their selected state. You can retrieve and set this value through the selected property.

I am successful in changing the text of the right navigation button by given code. But i also want to change it has a delfault background .
I simply want to show a text with transparent background.
I have also tried
UIBarButtonItem *rightBtn=[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"MyTitle" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleDone target:self action:#selector(myMethod)];
rightBtn.tintColor =[UIColor clearColor];
but still showing a button background.
Is there a way to achieve it by changing any different style which don't have background. or is there an other simple way to change button to a text with no transparent background.
You can use this:
UIButton *btn=[[UIButton alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 50, 50)];
btn.backgroundColor=[UIColor clearColor];
[btn setTitle:#"Title" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[btn setTitleColor:[UIColor blackColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[btn addTarget:self action:#selector(myMethod) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
UIBarButtonItem *rightBtn=[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:btn];
[self.navigationItem setRightBarButtonItem:rightBtn];
Add this in viewDidLoad:
[self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem setBackgroundImage:[UIImage new] forState:UIControlStateNormal barMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
I am customizing my nag bar button in iOS7 and I am using the following code:
// Customizing the NavBar Buttons
UIImage * btHome = [[UIImage imageNamed:#"Home.png"] resizableImageWithCapInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 3, 0, 3)];
[[UIBarButtonItem appearance] setBackgroundImage:btHome forState:UIControlStateNormal barMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
It is working, but the view shows my home button with the button text over it, I do not want the text to show.
What else do I need to do to remove the text?
What I have is shown here:
Try to set
1) text color on a bar button item through appearance
2) use setImage: instead of setBackgroundImage: and do not use resizable image
Try with this code. May be it will help you.
UIImage *faceImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"back_arrow.png"];
UIButton *yourbutton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
yourbutton.bounds = CGRectMake( 10, 0, faceImage.size.width, faceImage.size.height );
[yourbutton addTarget:self action:#selector(handleBack:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[yourbutton setImage:faceImage forState:UIControlStateNormal];
UIBarButtonItem *backButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:yourbutton];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = backButton;
Sets the back button title offset for given bar metrics
[[UIBarButtonItem appearance] setBackButtonTitlePositionAdjustment:UIOffsetMake(0, -60) forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
I am creating a custom UINavigationBar BarButtonItem as follows:
// Set up bar button items
UIButton *backButton = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 35.0f, 35.0f)];
[backButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"myimg.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[backButton addTarget:self action:#selector(myselector) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:backButton];
This is working perfectly, but when I go to set the title of the UIButton or BarButtonItem, it won't show up. Any suggestions?
Tried...
[backButton setTitle:#"Edit" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[backButton setTitleColor:[UIColor whiteColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
And...
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem.title = #"Edit";
without luck.
The problem is that image and title use same viewspace for display.
So when we use image with title first it show image and than title (right side of image).
If size of UIButton is same as image than we can't see Title.
A simple solution is set image in background. So try this:
[backButton setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"myimg.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"myimg.png"];
UIButton *backButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[backButton setBackgroundImage:image forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[backButton setTitle:#"Edit" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[backButton setTitleColor:[UIColor whiteColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal]
backButton.frame=CGRectMake(0, 0, 35.0f, 35.0f);
UIBarButtonItem *barButton= [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:backButton] autorelease];
self.toolbar.items = [NSArray arrayWithObject:barButton];
I have created view with barbutton as follows
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"settingsicon.png"] style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:#selector(settingsButtonClicked:)];
It is comming like this
but I want it as
how can I remove the border of the button?
Use this :
UIBarButtonItem *barButton= [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:customButton];
You can initialize a button with whatever view you would like. You can make a button with any (acceptable) view inside it.
eg.
// GRAPHICAL BUTTON FRAMEWORK
UIButton* btton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[btton setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 30, 30)];
[btton addTarget:self action:#selector(SOMEROUTINE) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[btton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"SOME IMAGE"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
UIBarButtonItem* barButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:btton];
Hope it helps you.
Another way is to remove button's background image:
// portrait
[self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem setBackgroundImage:[UIImage new] forState:UIControlStateNormal barMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
// landscape
[self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem setBackgroundImage:[UIImage new] forState:UIControlStateNormal barMetrics:UIBarMetricsLandscapePhone];
i want to use the default bar button items like
UIBarButtonItem *editFavoritesButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemEdit target:self action:#selector(startEndEditing:)];
The problem is that i want to change the background of these button but
[editFavoritesButton setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"barbuttonPlain.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal barMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
does not to the trick in this case.
UPDATED:
The idea is not creating a custom button since you need to handle the translations for this case.On the other hand i want to user compose and other sort of default images.
Replace your code from...
[editFavoritesButton setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"barbuttonPlain.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal barMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
as like this...
[editFavoritesButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"barbuttonPlain.png"]];
Use this code to create custom UIBarButtonItem:
UIButton *mybutton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[mybutton setFrame:CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, 25.0f, 25.0f)];
[mybutton addTarget:self action:#selector(mybuttonFunction) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[mybutton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"myImage.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
UIBarButtonItem *random = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:mybutton];
Hope this will help you.
You can try like this If you have any question you can ask..
UIButton *backButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
backButton.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 83, 44);
backButton.adjustsImageWhenHighlighted=NO;
[backButton addTarget:self action:#selector(backMethod)
forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchDown];
[backButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"img.png"]
forState:UIControlStateNormal];
UIBarButtonItem *barLeftInfoButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:backButton];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = barLeftInfoButton;
Add a custom button first and then add it to the UIBarButtonItem.
UIImage *buttonImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"mainButton.png"];
//create the button and assign the image
self.yourButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[self.yourButton setFrame:CGRectMake(5,7,buttonImage.size.width,buttonImage.size.height)];
[self.yourButton setBackgroundImage:buttonImage forState:UIControlStateNormal];
self.yourButton.titleLabel.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:12];
[self.yourButton setTitle:#"title" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[self.yourButton addTarget:self action:#selector(startEndEditing:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
// add image view
[self.navBar addSubview:self.yourButton];
//create a UIBarButtonItem with the button as a custom view
UIBarButtonItem *customBarItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:self.yourButton];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = customBarItem;
Please try to use this one ....
UIButton *editFavoritesButton = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, 55.0f, 30.0f)];
[editFavoritesButton setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
[editFavoritesButton setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"barbuttonPlain.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[editFavoritesButton addTarget:self action:#selector(startEndEditing:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
UIBarButtonItem *leftBtn = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:editFavoritesButton];
[self.navigationItem setLeftBarButtonItem:leftBtn];
