Previously when I only needed 1 navbar image, I would just do
UIImage *navBarImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"navbarimage.png"];
[[UINavigationBar appearance]setBackgroundImage:navBarImage forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
in AppDelegate, and that would stay throughout the app.
However, now I need to change the navbar images when going from a rootview to a tableview.
I tried putting
UIImage *navBarImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"vybeNavBarEmpty.png"];
[[UINavigationBar appearance]setBackgroundImage:navBarImage forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
in the viewwillappear of my tableview class, but nothing changes.
Any idea how to do this?
Try with below code:
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"vybeNavBarEmpty.png"] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
Try this one:
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"newImage.png"]];

I added the following code in the appDelegate to achieve custom background images for the navigation bar.
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"Nav-Bar_01.png"] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"Nav-Bar_02_alter.png"] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefaultPrompt];
However, I want to exclude the native gallery pickerView from this background.
Is there any way to do so without applying the background on each navigation bar alone, but keeping the same code in the appDelegate ?
I ended up placing a background image for every navigation controller instead of placing it in the App Delegate. The background was then not applied on the pickerView.
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"Nav-Bar_01"] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
I am working with themes in my app. Each theme comes with a custom navigation bar. As a default, I have applied a custom navigation bar in my AppDelegate:
[UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarStyle = UIStatusBarStyleLightContent;
UIImage *navBackgroundImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"purplynav.png"];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:navBackgroundImage forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
If I go to a specific Table View Controller in my app and in the viewWillAppear, I put:
if ([self.selectedTheme isEqualToString:#"Blur"])
{
UIImage *navBackgroundImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"pastelpinknav.png"];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:navBackgroundImage forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
}
The "pastelpinknav" suddenly gets applied to every single navigation bar in my app, even though I'm only setting it in this one Table View Controller.
How do I set it so that the navigation bar only applies to this one view controller when set, but is still set to default in the App Delegate when a theme is not set?
Thanks in advance!
You have to change again the navigationBar image in viewWillDisappear
UIImage *navBackgroundImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"purplynav.png"];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:navBackgroundImage forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
Because you are using [UINavigationBar appearance] it will commonly changes the UINavigationBar appearance.
From your view controller call:
[[UINavigationBar appearanceWhenContainedIn:[self class], nil] setBackgroundImage:navBackgroundImage
forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
Explenation:
This will change the foo color of the entire app:
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setFooColor:#"blue"]
In order to change appearance of specific container (i.e your view controller), you need to implement UIAppearanceContainer and then call (UIViewController already implements it):
[UINavigationBar appearanceWhenContainedIn:(Class<UIAppearanceContainer>), ..., nil]
Now I am trying to change UINavigationController background image with my custom Image.
I can change with following codes.
[navigation.navigationBar insertSubview:[[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"navController.png"]] atIndex:1];
So I got following pic. That pic is right and show the BarButton.
But when I go to the detailViewController , there is no BackButton. However I can tap without seeing it.
After I back to MainViewController , my UINavigationController Background is happening like following pic.
They are hiding my button. I'm thinking atIndex:1 is making this problem because Index 1 is above 0 and All button Index must be 0.
That's why all buttons are disappearing.
So how can I solve that problem? Please help.
Thanks for your help.
// not supported on iOS4
UINavigationBar *navBar = [purchaseNavController navigationBar];
if ([navBar respondsToSelector:#selector(setBackgroundImage:forBarMetrics:)])
{
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"brnlthr_nav.jpg"] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
}
Try using the appearance proxy provided by apple
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"your_image"] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
that will set it for the entire application or you can use
[[self.navigationController.navigationBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"your_image"]];
i set my UINavigationBar appearance with the following line:
UIImage *navigationBarBackground = [UIImage imageNamed:#"HeaderNavBar.png"];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:navigationBarBackground forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
I remove it with the following line:
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:nil forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
This works on every ios, except on ios 5.1...Does somebody know why?!
"When the contents of your view change, you do not redraw those changes directly. Instead, you invalidate the view using either the setNeedsDisplay or setNeedsDisplayInRect: method." (View Programming Guide). Do you still have that issue after redrawing the view?
See also: UIView Class Reference: setNeedsDisplay
[[UINavigationBar appearanceWhenContainedIn:[self class], nil] setBackgroundImage:navigationBarBackground forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
and then:
[[UINavigationBar appearanceWhenContainedIn:[self class], nil] setBackgroundImage:nil forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
It is recommended here.
i have made a simple design in photoshop
when i tried to put it in Xcode i had some problems with NavigationBar
i used this code to change the UINavigationBar background image (a PNG transparent image):
UINavigationBar *navBar = [[self navigationController]navigationBar];
[navBar setBackgroundImage[UIImageimageNamed:#"navBar2.png"]forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault]
everything works fine but the problem is that the image appears in the navigationBar without transparency.
please someone help me to fix the transparency issue i search everywhere without any satisfied answer
NB! Im using IOS 5
You might try setting the navigation bar to translucent.
[navBar setTranslucent: YES];
Do you have it in your Storyboard? Try change the style of your navigation bar into black translucent.
What you can do is set the background color of the view of the navigationController the same as the backgrouond color of the main view.
//Set your view's background color
[self.view setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"view_background"]]];
//Set your custom image for the navigationController
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed: #"navigation_bar_image"] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
//And then set the background color of the navigationController the same as the one of the view
[self.navigationController.view setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"view_background"]]];
[self.navigationBar setBackgroundImage:[UIImage new] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
[self.navigationBar setShadowImage:[UIImage new]];
[self.navigationBar setTranslucent:YES];
And make sure you set up tint color to default.
