iOS: Back toolbar bar button item - ios

I need the back arrow toolbar bar button item.
In identifier of bar button item, there is play, refresh, reload, and stop.
I need the image of play, but flipped 180 degrees.
Is there a way to flip the image with code? If not, where can I find this image?


here's a simple work around:
declare your button with "initWithTitle" and set the title to #"◀" (it's just a unicode symbol).
Use #"▶" for the forward button to make it consistent.
I tried it and it worked for me.


Do a Google search for play button vector graphic. Make the one you want the image of the button. Should still be able to tell the button to maintain it's bar button style.


One straightforward option is to draw a white triangle of the appropriate size and orientation in an image editor, stick it in an image view, and then use that image view for a bar button item's custom view.
I wouldn't try to use the UIBarButtonSystemItemPlay image. I don't know if manipulating system images is expressly proscribed, but Apple generally doesn't smile on misuse of system items. When you get right down to it, it's just a white triangle, so it'd be hard to tell the difference between drawing your own or reversing theirs. That just seems like all the more reason to draw your own.

Place image on top of all "layers" on iOS screen

What are the constraints/alternatives to place an image that stays on top of all iOS "layers" and windows. Think of it as a lock screen but that still allows you to interact with you phone, meaning browse, answer calls, etc. The image will be displayed in a transparent way (say 40%) and will be launched by an application.

Not really sure what you are asking for but if you are looking for a way to add some code once and it shows everywhere on each of your ViewController then there really is no way to do that.
What you can do is
Use UIToolBar
add buttons to that tool bar
Add that tool bar to each ViewController in storyboard (where you need them)
Create a global function / method that you can call in from any ViewController that has the button actions in it. That way you edit the code once in one place and use it every where.
If you don't like UIToolBar then
you can add your own UIImageView and add a transparent background to it
Add your buttons on the UIImageView. (You will have to add constraints)
then show that on every ViewController
If all this seems to much work then you can use existing controls HERE and see which one fits your needs.
This maybe a good one - FCVerticalMenu

UIbutton highlight part of the image

I want to have a UIButton that has an image as the button itself, to have a nice highlight when pressed but not on the entire rectangle but on the object in the image (quite similar to what Twitter is doing on the status bar buttons)
I thought that making an image with the background as transparent will solve the problem, the thing is that on one it works, and on one it doesn't and they are exactly the same property wise.
So my general question:
What are the steps I need to do in order to get this done?

iOS: How to disable Fading in and out effect of UIButton

First of all, sorry for the title and asking this incredibly question but I simply couldn't figure it out. Also, since it is not related to code, I don't have code to show
I am working on an app and using iOS7 and I created a button from IB, set its background image to an image I designed. Connected it with header and set its touch up inside action as an IBAction
Yet, here is my problem. Whenever I click on the button, as an effect the image fades half transparent. I do not want this default attribute. I checked all the states on IB (highlighted, disabled, selected) and couldn't figure it out.
If I create the same button programmatically, only the text color changes, however when I set the background image, image fades (perhaps to indicate the button being pressed). How can I remove this effect?

A bit late but I believe this would solve the problem
in the xib file, set the button's type to Custom.
My button was set to system and when pressed on, it shows transparency and has a little fade in effect. Once I changed it to custom this effect is gone.
This cannot be changed once button is created. only in xib or when the button is first created.

have you tried this one yourButton.adjustsImageWhenHighlighted = NO?

If you set same background-image/background-color for every buttons states in IB (highlight, disable, selected) you will not get any fading in UIBUtton when you press it. You can set text color for every states also. If needed you can set different colors for every state and check the press action.
Hope the answered you expect. Thanks

Storyboard Solution
1:set button type to custom
2:uncheck "Highlighted adjusts Image"

If you want fading in & out effect your UIButton Type Should be a system, not custom.
