let me explain in details.
1) i have a popup in which i tap and raise a notification, this notification is read on a view controller where i want this camera image picker popup. following is my code
-(void)registerNotificationForCameraSource
{
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]addObserver:self selector:#selector(mediaSourceCallback:) name:NOTIFICATION_FOR_CAMERA_SOURCE object:nil];
}
#pragma mark - Image picker Popover
-(void)mediaSourceCallback:(NSNotification *)notificationObj
{
capturedImages = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
pickerObj = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
// [pickerObj setContentSizeForViewInPopover:CGSizeMake(320,480)];
pickerObj.delegate = self;
if ([notificationObj.object isEqualToString:#"UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera"])
{
pickerObj.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
pickerObj.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFullScreen;
pickerObj.showsCameraControls = YES;
[self presentViewController:pickerObj animated:YES completion:nil];
}
else
{
[[UINavigationBar appearanceWhenContainedIn:[ApplicationDiscriptionPopupViewController class], nil] setBarTintColor:[UIColor redColor]];
pickerObj.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithTitle:#"Back" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleDone target:self action:#selector(imagePickerBackButtonTapped)];
[pickerObj.navigationController.navigationBar setBarTintColor:[UIColor redColor]];
[pickerObj setNavigationBarHidden:NO animated:YES];
//navigationControllerObj = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:applicationDiscriptionPopupViewControllerObj];
_popoverControllerObj.popoverContentSize = CGSizeMake(320,480);
pickerObj.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;
[pickerObj presentedViewController];
[_popoverControllerObj setContentViewController:pickerObj animated:YES];
}
}
-(void)imagePickerBackButtonTapped
{
[pickerObj popToViewController:applicationDiscriptionPopupViewControllerObj animated:YES]; }
pickerObj is UI Image picker
applicationDiscriptionPopupViewControllerObj is view controller of my previous popover view. from where i came. now i wana go back to this view in the popup, when i tap on back button in nav bar.
but i dnt hav any nav bar. plz help
If you are adding a UIImagePickerController via presentViewController inside a UIViewController then you should see the default navigation bar. You should implement :
- (void)navigationController:(UINavigationController *)navigationController willShowViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController animated:(BOOL)animated {
UINavigationItem *navBarTopItem;
// you cannot add a custom back button with native back button look like, so use image over
UIBarButtonItem *backButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"back_arrow.png"]
style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered
target:self
action:#selector(backAction)];
navBarTopItem.title = #"Albums"; // "Camera
navBarTopItem.leftBarButtonItem = backButton;
}
Add a back button action handler
-(void)backAction{
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
Hope that answer ur Q.

I have an iOS project with UINavigationController.
When I pushviewcontroller with
animated = YES
[self.navigationController pushViewController:viewController animated:YES];
the top leftbarbuttonitem (with image) is well positioned.
But if I set pushviewcontroller with
animated = NO
[self.navigationController pushViewController:viewController animated:NO];
the top leftbarbuttonitem (with image) is not positioned exactly the same place with previous one. Does anyone have any idea?
SAMPLE CODE
- (void)addBackButtonWithoutAnimation {
self.navigationController.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
UIImage *closeImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"icon_back"];
UIBarButtonItem *closeBackButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:closeImage style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:#selector(closeBackButtonwithoutAnimationDidClick)];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = closeBackButton;
self.navigationItem.hidesBackButton = YES;}
I'm using UIImagePickerController inside a UIPopoverController to select image just from photo albums. When I launch app on device running iOS 8, the Cancel button on the top right of the pop over appeared normally like this:
But when I launch the app on device running iOS 7, the Cancel button disappeared:
The code I used to show the picker:
UIImagePickerController *pickerController = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
[pickerController setSourceType:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary];
pickerController.delegate = self;
_popOver = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:pickerController];
_popOver.delegate = self;
pickerController.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor redColor];//Cancel button text color
[pickerController.navigationBar setTitleTextAttributes:#{NSForegroundColorAttributeName: [UIColor blackColor]}];// title color
if (isImage) {
[pickerController setMediaTypes:#[(NSString*)kUTTypeImage]];
} else
[pickerController setMediaTypes:#[(NSString*)kUTTypeMovie]];
[_popOver presentPopoverFromRect:CGRectMake(1024/2, 768/2, 1, 1) inView:self.view permittedArrowDirections:0 animated:YES];
What can I do to show that Cancel button on iOS7? My app design doesn't allow user to dismiss the popover by tapping anywhere outside the popover view.
Thank you.
#JozoL Write the Below Code this works
- (void)navigationController:(UINavigationController *)navigationController willShowViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController animated:(BOOL)animated {
UINavigationItem *pickerNavBarTopItem;
// add done button to right side of nav bar
UIBarButtonItem *doneButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Cancel"
style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain
target:self
action:#selector(doSomething)];
UINavigationBar *bar = navigationController.navigationBar;
[bar setHidden:NO];
pickerNavBarTopItem = bar.topItem;
pickerNavBarTopItem.rightBarButtonItem = doneButton;
}
-(void)doSomething{
}
For swift2.x you can try below code, Its work for me
pickerController.navigationBar.tintColor = UIColor.blueColor()
In my case, UIImagePickerController was not showing its cancel button
. So I tried adding this line to code:
pickerController.navigationBar.barStyle = UIBarStyleDefault;
And this worked for me.Try setting color of Cancel button like this
pickerController.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor blackColor];
Try using this code and let me know if it helps you.
My app is a tab bar app with many navigation controllers.
I want these navigation controllers to handle login/logout actions with a custom right bar button. So I've set up my tab bar in AppDelegate this way :
MyFirstViewController *firstViewController = [[MyFirstViewController alloc] init];
UIViewController *firstNavigationController = [[CustomNavigationController alloc]
initWithRootViewController:firstViewController];
MySecondViewController *secondViewController = [[MySecondViewController alloc] init];
UIViewController *secondNavigationController = [[CustomNavigationController alloc]
secondViewController]
initWithRootViewController:secondViewController];
....
[tabBarController setViewControllers:#[firstNavigationController, secondNavigationController]];
Then CustomNavigationController :
#implementation ConnectionNavigationController
- (void) viewDidLoad
{
[self displayConnectionButton];
}
- (void) displayConnectionButton
{
UIImage *portraitImage, *landscapeImage;
portraitImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"conn.png"];
landscapeImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"connLandscape.png"];
UIBarButtonItem *connButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithImage:[portraitImage
imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal]
landscapeImagePhone:[landscapeImage imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal]
style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:#selector(showConnectionPopup)];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = connButton;
}
#end
I tried with viewDidLoad, viewDidAppear, viewWillAppear but nothing works, I can't get this button to show in the navigation bar. I also tried to add reloadInputViews or setNeedsDisplay. What should I do?
Thanks for your help
Edit : interface of CustomNavigationController
#interface ConnectionNavigationController : UINavigationController
- (void) displayConnectionButton;
#end
From what I understand you should add the displayConnectionButton method to the relevant UIViewController subclass and not to your UINavigationController subclass as this only contains the stack of view controllers.
E.g.
#implementation MyFirstViewController
- (void) viewDidLoad
{
[self displayConnectionButton];
}
- (void) displayConnectionButton
{
UIImage *portraitImage, *landscapeImage;
portraitImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"conn.png"];
landscapeImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"connLandscape.png"];
UIBarButtonItem *connButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithImage:[portraitImage
imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal]
landscapeImagePhone:[landscapeImage imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal]
style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:#selector(showConnectionPopup)];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = connButton;
}
#end
As a note if you put a breakpoint on your displayConnectionButton in your CustomNavigationController and po self.viewControllers I think you will get an empty array (i.e. no view controllers)
If the text itself can't be changed and the button needs to be replaced then please also explain how to make the delegate method
- (void)peoplePickerNavigationControllerDidCancel:(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker
still get called from replacement button?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
After some fiddling this worked:
Include UINavigationControllerDelegate in object .h file. Add the following to .m file:
- (void) showAddressBook {
ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *picker = [[ABPeoplePickerNavigationController alloc] init];
picker.peoplePickerDelegate = self;
// use delegate to change cancel text to done on picker that pops up
picker.delegate = self;
[self presentViewController:picker animated:true completion:nil];
}
// replace button now that controller is initialized
- (void)navigationController:(UINavigationController*)navigationController willShowViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController animated:(BOOL)animated {
if([navigationController isKindOfClass:[ABPeoplePickerNavigationController class]]) {
UIBarButtonItem *obbi = navigationController.topViewController.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem;
UIBarButtonItem *bbi = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Done" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleDone target:obbi.target action:obbi.action];
navigationController.topViewController.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = bbi;
}
}
I have a cameraview from which I'm pushing another view of with TableViewController. I can push the second view from my main view by using navbar controller. But the back button from the second view which is table view does not respond. I can't figure out why.
Thanks in advance.
#WrightCS Thank you for your immediate response.
In my app delegate.
ViewController *vc= [[ViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:vc];
[self.window setRootViewController :navController];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
Right now I'm using a temporary button to push the view.
-(IBAction)testButtonPressed {
TableView *tableVC = [[TableView alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStylePlain];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:tableVC animated:YES];
}
There are a few reasons your back button may not work:
You are using a custom UIButton and the frame/bounds are not correct you can use [yourButtonName sizeToFit]
to size it properly.
You are adding a button programmatically and not adding a click event:
[yourButtonName addTarget:self action:#selector(yourButtonNameTapped:) forControlEvents: UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
Don't forget your event.
...
-(void)yourButtonNamedTapped:(id)sender
{
...
}
docs: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/uikit/reference/UIControl_Class/Reference/Reference.html
If you are using a UINavigationController, back will automatically show up when you use [self.navigationController pushViewController:viewControllerName];
-(IBAction)testButtonPressed {
TableView *tableVC = [[TableView alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStylePlain];
UIBarButtonItem *backBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Back" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:nil action:nil];
self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = backBarButtonItem;
[backBarButtonItem release];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:tableVC animated:YES];
}
I think it will be helpful to you.
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
UIBarButtonItem *backBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Back" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:#selector(backButtonDidClicked:)];
self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = backBarButtonItem;
[backBarButtonItem release];
}
-(void)backButtonDidClicked :(id)sender
{
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
It should work for you!!
