Can't add rightBarButton to UINavigationBar - ios

Question

I've subclassed UINavigationController to my pop & push needs and now I want to add a custom background image and some custom buttons to the UINavigationBar.
I've read that I can do it (since iOS 5) inside the appdelegate but I'd like to keep it inside the UINavigationController subclass for future use.
I've tried doing something like this:
-(void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
UIButton *rightbutton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[rightbutton setFrame:CGRectMake(280, 0, 56, 39)];
[rightbutton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"top.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[rightbutton addTarget:self action:#selector(popMePlease) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
UIBarButtonItem *rightBarButton=[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:rightbutton];
[[self navigationItem] setRightBarButtonItem:rightBarButton];
}
But I can't see the rightBarButton. I don't know if viewDidLoad is the place to put it in.

Answer 1

In your code button x position starts from 280 . It shoud be near to 0.
Replace following line
[rightbutton setFrame:CGRectMake(280, 0, 56, 39)];
with
[rightbutton setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 56, 39)];

Answer 2

Try this it's working fine.
UIButton *myButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
myButton.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 40, 40);
[myButton setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"imTitleBG.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
UIBarButtonItem *rightBtn = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithCustomView:myButton];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = rightBtn;

Answer 3

try this code
UIBarButtonItem *btn = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithCustomView:myButton];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem=btn;
-(void)Action
{
// Do what you want here
}
try this code might be helpful to you...
