remove gap between buttons in navigation item rightbuttonitems - ios

Question

I'm using self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItems to setup my navigation bar items. However, for the bar buttons, i'm using a custom view(button). I observe there is spacing between buttons. How can I remove this?

Answer 1

i know its too late, but i solved it using following method of UIBarButtonItem
use
[barbuttonitem setImageInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, -30, 0, -70)];

Answer 2

I solved this by using storybord interface.I know you are using custom Bar,but this answer will useful for those who use stroybord.
1.Select the Bar item.
2.Select the Size Inspector.
Here you can find image Inset,using top,bottom AND left , right you can change the position of Bar Item.

Answer 3

You can't remove it. You can work around it by creating a bar button item with a custom view, where that custom view has you custom buttons all added as subviews. In this way you can directly control the exact positioning.

Answer 4

Here is an example that how you can resolve this issue:
Create an extension of UIBarButton
extension UIBarButtonItem
{
/** Create custom right bar button for reduce space between right bar buttons */
func initRightButton(let imageNamed:String, let target:UIViewController, let selector:Selector) -> UIBarButtonItem {
let frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 30, 30)
//Create imageView
let imageView = UIImageView(frame:frame)
imageView.image = UIImage(named: imageNamed)
//Create Button
let button = UIButton(frame: frame)
button.addTarget(target, action: selector, forControlEvents: .TouchUpInside)
//Create View and add imageView and Button
let view = UIView(frame: frame)
view.addSubview(imageView)
view.addSubview(button)
return UIBarButtonItem(customView: view)
}
}
In your class controller use the method customizeNavigationBar
func customizeNavigationBar() {
//Create custom right bar button chat for reduce space between right bar buttons
let barButton1 = UIBarButtonItem().initRightButton("customImageNamed1", target: self, selector: customSelector)
let barButton2 = UIBarButtonItem().initRightButton("customImageNamed2", target: self, selector: customSelector)
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItems = [barButton1,barButton2]
}
