UIBarButtonItems not calling actions - ios

Question

I've created a UIToolBar with UIBarButtonItems but when I tap them, the selector's are not being called. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE
Based on suggestions in the comments, I modified my code, but unfortunately, the buttons still do not work.
-(void)buildBottomMenu
{
UIImage *newsImg = [UIImage imageNamed:#"243-globe"];
UIBarButtonItem *newsBtnItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:newsImg style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:#selector(loadHome)];
UIImage *weatherImg = [UIImage imageNamed:#"25-weather"];
UIBarButtonItem *weatherBtnItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:weatherImg style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:#selector(loadWeather)];
UIImage *sportsImg = [UIImage imageNamed:#"63-runner"];
UIBarButtonItem *sportsBtnItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:sportsImg style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:#selector(loadSports)];
UIImage *entrnImg = [UIImage imageNamed:#"178-city"];
UIBarButtonItem *entrnBtnItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:entrnImg style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:#selector(loadEntertainment)];
UIImage *videoImg = [UIImage imageNamed:#"69-display"];
UIBarButtonItem *videoBtnItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:videoImg style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:#selector(loadVideoPage)];
UIImage *moreImg = [UIImage imageNamed:#"259-list"];
UIBarButtonItem *moreBtnItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:moreImg style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:#selector(loadOptionsPage)];
UIBarButtonItem* flexibleSpace = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace
target:nil action:nil];
[_bottomBar setItems:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:flexibleSpace,newsBtnItem,flexibleSpace,
weatherBtnItem,flexibleSpace,
sportsBtnItem,flexibleSpace,
entrnBtnItem,flexibleSpace,
videoBtnItem,flexibleSpace,
moreBtnItem,flexibleSpace,
nil]];
[self.view addSubview:_bottomBar];
}
Here is a sample selector:
- (void)loadWeather
{
NSLog(#"Loading weather");
}

Answer 1

thanks for the help, but I just realized that it was something I was doing in my viewDidLayoutSubviews method that was causing the problem.

Answer 2

Try this,
-->First drog and drop UIToolbar to your ViewController.xib
-->connect IBOutlet connection
ViewController.h
IBOutlet UIToolbar *_bottomBar;
ViewController.m
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
[self buildBottomMenu];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
}
-(void)buildBottomMenu
{
UIImage *newsImg = [UIImage imageNamed:#"243-globe"];
UIBarButtonItem *newsBtnItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:newsImg style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:#selector(loadHome)];
UIImage *weatherImg = [UIImage imageNamed:#"25-weather"];
UIBarButtonItem *weatherBtnItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:weatherImg style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:#selector(loadWeather)];
UIImage *sportsImg = [UIImage imageNamed:#"63-runner"];
UIBarButtonItem *sportsBtnItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:sportsImg style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:#selector(loadSports)];
UIImage *entrnImg = [UIImage imageNamed:#"178-city"];
UIBarButtonItem *entrnBtnItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:entrnImg style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:#selector(loadEntertainment)];
UIImage *videoImg = [UIImage imageNamed:#"69-display"];
UIBarButtonItem *videoBtnItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:videoImg style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:#selector(loadVideoPage)];
UIImage *moreImg = [UIImage imageNamed:#"259-list"];
UIBarButtonItem *moreBtnItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:moreImg style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:#selector(loadOptionsPage)];
UIBarButtonItem* flexibleSpace = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace
target:nil action:nil];
[_bottomBar setItems:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:flexibleSpace,newsBtnItem,flexibleSpace,
weatherBtnItem,flexibleSpace,
sportsBtnItem,flexibleSpace,
entrnBtnItem,flexibleSpace,
videoBtnItem,flexibleSpace,
moreBtnItem,flexibleSpace,
nil]];
[self.view addSubview:_bottomBar];
}
- (void)loadWeather
{
NSLog(#"Loading weather");
}
