how can I change the horizontal position of BarButtonItem - ios

I can change the y of custom bar button item with setBackgroundVerticalPositionAdjustment, but how can I change the horizontalposition ?
[viewController.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem setBackgroundVerticalPositionAdjustment:50 forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];

You can create bar button with custom view, and in that view you can create your own layout. It can be just simple UIButton, and you can set edgeInsets in UIButton.
see Customization of UINavigationBar and the back button
f.e.
UIButton *btn = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[btn setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"chk_back.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[btn addTarget:self action:#selector(BackBtn) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
UIView *customView = [[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0, 50, 38)] autorelease];
btn.frame = CGRectMake(10, 3, 30, 32); // where you can set your insets
[customView addSubview:btn];
UIBarButtonItem *barBtn = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:customView];
Or you can add some fixedSpace in Bar after or befor your bar item
UIBarButtonItem *fixedSpace = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFixedSpace
target:nil
action:nil];
[fixedSpace setWidth:20];

You can change the imageInsets of rightBarButtonItem.
For example:
[viewController.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem setImageInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, 0, 50)];

UINavigationItems Stretching in iOS11

I'm updating an app to ensure that it works as expected in iOS11. The only issue I've run into is that the navigation bar looks quite different in iOS11. The position of the elements and size is not the same between versions. I've looked at my code and i'm explicitly setting frame sizes and edge insets, why are these values are not respected in iOS11?
//-- Create Right Navigation Item Buttons
// create kabob btn
UIButton *kabobBtn = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[kabobBtn addTarget:self action:#selector(viewUsersClicked:)forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
kabobBtn.clipsToBounds = YES;
[kabobBtn setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"KabobMenu2_0071bc_Right.png"]
forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[kabobBtn.imageView setContentMode:UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit];
[kabobBtn setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 32, 32)];
// create user profile button
UIButton *userBtn = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[userBtn setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"people.png"]
forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[userBtn addTarget:self action:#selector(viewUserProfileClicked:)forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[userBtn setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 38, 38)];
userBtn.clipsToBounds = YES;
[userBtn.layer setCornerRadius:(38/2)];
[userBtn.layer setMasksToBounds:YES];
[userBtn.layer setBorderColor:[[UIColor blackColor]CGColor]];
[userBtn.layer setBorderWidth:1];
self.userPictureURL = [defaults objectForKey:#"userPicture"];
[userBtn setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"defaultUserImage.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[userBtn setContentMode:UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFill];
[userBtn setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
// add buttons to bar button items
UIBarButtonItem *barButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:kabobBtn];
UIBarButtonItem *barButton2 = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:userBtn];
// add bar button items to right bar button item array
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItems = #[barButton,barButton2];
//-- Create Left Hamburger Button
UIButton *customOpen = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[customOpen setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 30, 44)];
[customOpen setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"hamburger.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[customOpen setImageEdgeInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(10, -5, 16, 10)];
UIBarButtonItem *openItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:customOpen];
if(self.showHamburger){
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = openItem;
}else{
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = nil;
}
Apparently iOS 11 uses autolayout for nav bar buttons. Use auto layout constraints to set button width and height.
[userBtn.widthAnchor constraintEqualToConstant:38.f].active = YES;
[userBtn.heightAnchor constraintEqualToConstant:38.f].active = YES;
This should fix the stretching issue.

Changing vertical position of UIBarButtonItem on iOS 8.2

Here is my navigation bar
I had a problem about changing vertical position of Settings UIBarButtonItem on my navigation bar. I would like to move the button item "Settings" down
Here is my code
UIBarButtonItem *settingsItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Settings" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:nil];
self.navItem.rightBarButtonItem = settingsItem;
[[UIBarButtonItem appearance] setTitlePositionAdjustment:UIOffsetMake(0,-10) forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
I had tried it again and again. It seemed that it's not work
Could anyone suggest me how to move the button item "Settings" down ?
You can easily add a Custom Button to your NavigationBarItem, Here is the way,
UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom]; //create custom Button
[button setTitle:#"Settings" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[button.titleLabel setFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:14.0]];
[button setTitleColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:179.0/255.0 green:40.0/255.0 blue:18.0/255.0 alpha:1] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
button.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 50, 20); //Button frame
[button addTarget:self action:#selector(yourCustomSelectorHere) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside]; //Add action method to the button here
UIView *backButtonView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 63, 33)];
backButtonView.bounds = CGRectOffset(backButtonView.bounds, -14, -7);
[backButtonView addSubview:button];
UIBarButtonItem *barBtnItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithCustomView: backButtonView]; //set button as UIBarButtonItem
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = barBtnItem; //set barBtnItem to rightBarButtonItem
By changing backButtonView.bounds values you can change the origin of the Button
Cited from apple's documentation on UIAppearance protocol
iOS applies appearance changes when a view enters a window, it doesn’t
change the appearance of a view that’s already in a window.
So if your code of setting UIBarButtonItem's appearance is after the navigationItem assignment code. It won't work

When i create a UIBarButtonItem using initWithTitle,it does not respond to touch inside the title,only outside the title can be respond

here is the code
UIBarButtonItem *button = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Interpretations" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:#selector(showInterpretations:)];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = button;
in my program,when i create a button and set it's title,the default value of titleLabel.userInteractionEnabled is YES,this cause the same problem,so I must set UserInteractionEnabled to NO so that the button can responding correctly.
but in a navigationBar,the class of UIBarButtonItem is not UIView,i try to create UIBarButtonItem using initWithImage and it works well,i think when using initWithTitle there must be a titleLabel whose userInteractionEnabled is YES. I still want to know how it occur and what to do to fix it,thanks.
i use this and it works :D..hope it helped you :)
UIButton* backToRecent = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[backToRecent setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"navB_V.png"]forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[backToRecent setTitle:#"button title" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[backToRecent addTarget:self action:#selector(deselect) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[backToRecent setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 45, 30)];
[backToRecent setImageEdgeInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, -30, 0, -30)];
UIBarButtonItem* navItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithCustomView:backToRecent];
[self.navigationItem setLeftBarButtonItem:navItem];

UIBarButtonItem backButton setting image with no back text causes title alignment issues

I am wanting to use an image for my backButton in my navigationController. I just want the image used, with no "back" text shown at all, so I did:
UIImage *backButtonImage = [[UIImage imageNamed:#"ZSSBackButton.png"] resizableImageWithCapInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 25, 0, 0)];
[[UIBarButtonItem appearance] setBackButtonBackgroundImage:backButtonImage forState:UIControlStateNormal barMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
[[UIBarButtonItem appearance] setBackButtonTitlePositionAdjustment:UIOffsetMake(0, backButtonImage.size.height*2) forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
This works well, but seems to have the side effect to making long navigationItem titles appear to be off center, even though it really is just leaving white space where the backbutton text should be:
Is there a way that I can bring the title a little more to the left?
You can manage position of UINavigationbar title using titleView property.
UIView *backView =[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 200, 40)];// Here you can set View width and height as per your requirement for displaying titleLbl position in navigationbar
[backView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
UILabel *titleLbl = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 200, 40)];
[backView addSubview:titleLbl];
titleLbl.text = #"YOUR TITLE";
titleLbl.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
self.navigationItem.titleView = backView;
EDIT : you can create custom button and assign it to leftbutton as :
UIButton *btnBack = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
btnBack.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,51,31);
[btnBack setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"ZSSBackButton"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[btnBack addTarget:self action:#selector(btnBackProfile_TouchUpInside:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
UIBarButtonItem *leftBtn = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:btnBack];
[self.navigationItem setLeftBarButtonItem:leftBtn];
Hope it helps you.

Custom logo and button not appear in UINavigationBar

I Have UINavigarionController and I want to add custom background and logo and left button to the navigation bar I could add background but my logo and button not appear, would you please help me , Thanks in advance!
Your code worked and i am getting the logo and button but with one change
UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[button setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"menu.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
//[button addTarget:self action:#selector(parametres:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[button setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 25, 25)];
UIBarButtonItem *rightButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:button];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = rightButton;
UIImageView *navigationImage=[[UIImageView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 120, 30)];
navigationImage.image=[UIImage imageNamed:#"menu.png"];
UIImageView *workaroundImageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 120, 30)];
[workaroundImageView addSubview:navigationImage];
self.navigationItem.titleView= workaroundImageView;
self.navigationItem.titleView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"menu.png"]];
Just specify the image type i.e not menu as menu.png and just add it for your navigationItem by setting UINavigationControllerDelegate to you class as above good luck and please share your results
barButton can't be set to be used in whole app.
Each ViewController provides own barButtonItems and titleView to the navigationItem so you have to move the code of setting logo and button to the rootViewController class
You cannot create in your AppDelegate
Open your ViewController.m
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
self.navigationItem.title=#"Title"; //Set the title
[self CustomButton];
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view from its nib.
}
-(void) CustomButton
{
UIButton *but=[UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];//create a button
but.frame=CGRectMake(290, 4, 40, 40);// set the button frame size
[but setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"image.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[but addTarget:self action:#selector(call here) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
UIBarButtonItem *btn = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:but];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = btn;
self.navigationController.navigationBar.barStyle = UIBarStyleDefault;
}
Hope its useful for you:)
