Shifting the text of UINavigationBar title left or right - ios

Question

I would like to be able to control the position of the title in a UInavigationBar. For example, right now my titles are centered, but for some views, I need to shift the title origin a few px to the left or so. Is this possible?
Thank you!

Answer 1

You can add a custom titleView to your navigation item, and place an off-center UILabel in it to hold your title. Another easier way, might be to just append a space character or two to the end of your title if that gives you the amount of displacement you need.

Answer 2

your code here
- (void) customNavBarTitleWithText:(NSString *) text andFontsize:(float) fontsize
{
// Custom nav bar back button
UIImage *img = [UIImage imageNamed:#"back_btn.png"];
UIButton *backbtn = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, img.size.width, img.size.height)];
[backbtn setImage:img forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[backbtn addTarget:self action:#selector(backBtnClicked) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
UIBarButtonItem *backBarBtn = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:backbtn];
[self.navigationItem setLeftBarButtonItem:backBarBtn];
//Custom nav bar title
UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero];
label.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
label.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:fontsize];
label.shadowColor = [UIColor colorWithWhite:0.0 alpha:0.5];
label.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
// Use UITextAlignmentCenter for older SDKs.
label.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor]; // change this color
self.navigationItem.titleView = label;
label.text = text;
label.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByWordWrapping;
label.numberOfLines = 0;
[label sizeToFit];
// Set nav bar background image
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"top_bar_bg.png"] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
}
in there:
label.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
you can use another mode: NSTextAlignmentLeft, NSTextAlignmentRight, NSTextAlignmentJustified, etc..
Hope it work for you!
