I got this image that I want to use in my navigation controller:
I'm setting it like this(following advice from this question):
UINavigationBar *theBar = self.navigationController.navigationBar;
if ( [theBar respondsToSelector:#selector(setBackgroundImage:forBarMetrics:)] ) {
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"cabecalho.jpg"];
[theBar setBackgroundImage:image forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
}
But when I run my app, I get this:
What do I do so my image can fit the navigation controller?
Thank you.
Try with following code
[self.navigationBar setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"myImage.png"]]];
Refer How to add background image on iphone Navigation bar? this question that may be helpful for you.
I found the solution following the example of this question.
When I create my UINavigationController, I do this:
UINavigationController *nav = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:viewLista];
if ([nav.navigationBar respondsToSelector:#selector(setBackgroundImage:forBarMetrics:)] ) {
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"cabecalho.png"];
[nav.navigationBar setBackgroundImage:image forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
}

I have set a custom navigationbar in my appdelegate. You can see the code over here.
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"navbar.png"];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:image forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
But now I'm working with the eventkit framework. What I want is when I go to eventdetails, that I get the standard navbar layout.So without the image.
EKEventViewController *vc = [[EKEventViewController alloc] init];
[vc.navigationController.navigationBar setBackgroundImage:nil forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
vc.event = [dataSource eventAtIndexPath:indexPath];
vc.allowsEditing = YES;
[calendar.navigationController pushViewController:vc animated:YES];
I've tried the following but it is not working.
Any help?
you can do one thing, take the screenshot of one viewController with default navigation bar , just crop only navigation bar area i.e. make image of 320 x 44 size.
when you want again your by default navigation bar , that time use this cropped image as background of navigation bar ,add following code
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"defaultNavbar.png"];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:image forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
again when you navigate to another viewController having custom Navimage then again draw nav image by help of your custom image code i.e.
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"navbar.png"];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:image forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
In my application i add custom navigation image while adding the remaining part of the image shows black in color, i used following code,
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed: #"navbar.png"];
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setBackgroundImage:image forBarMetrics:UIBarStyleDefault];
i want to show the back ground color in the in the black color part.what should change in code?
Please Try Following may be it works fine.
UINavigationBar *navBar = [[self navigationController] navigationBar];
UIImage *backgroundImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"navbar.png"];
[navBar setBackgroundImage:backgroundImage forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
Edited
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"navbar.png"] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
self.navigationController.navigationBar.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"navbar.png"]];
I'm using very useful library (class SCNavigationBar) for styling navigaitonBar, download it here
It supports all orientations, it works with no problem in my many apps.
My app has several viewControllers and for some of them, I would like to use a different navigationbar background image when they are pushed onto the navigation stack.
For example, when my mainViewController loads up, I have this:
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
NSLog(#"Setting toolbar for iOS 5+");
UIImage * navbarImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"navbar01.png"];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:navbarImage forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
}
Likewise, when my other viewController is pushed onto the navigation stack, I am using the same code as above, except using a different UIImage (navbar02.png).
However, the navigation bar doesn't change from the first image that I set. Is there any way to change the UINavigationBar background image when a new view appears?
Thank you!
Here is the link for similar question: UINavigationBar setBackgroundImage: forBarMetrics: Not Working
The answer is to use this:
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setBackgroundImage:image forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
rather than the code you have used.
float version = [[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue];
// NSLog(#"%f",version);
if (version >= 5.0) {
UIImage *backgroundImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"image.png"];
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setBackgroundImage:backgroundImage forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
}
else
{
// UIImage *backgroundImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"image.png"];
NSString *barBgPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"NavBar" ofType:#"png"];
[self.navigationController.navigationBar.layer setContents:(id)[UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile: barBgPath].CGImage];
}
its working successfully for me ... maybe it will help you.
I'd like an image to take up all of a navigation bar. This is the navigation that comes with a navigation based app. It appears on the RootViewController with the accompanying UITableView. I've seen some examples of how this might work.
Set navigation bar title:
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"TableviewCellLightBlue.png"];
UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:image];
[self.navigationController.navigationBar.topItem setTitleView:imageView];
The problem there is it only covers the title rather than the entire navigation bar.
There is also this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9254241#9254241. Towards the end, the solution looks to use a tab bar, which I'm not using. It is that complicated to set a navigation bar background? Is there some other simpler technique?
I'd like to have a background for the navigation and still be able to use title text.
In your case, this solution found in another answer would work well.
With the "CustomImage" category added to UINavigationBar,
you can then just call:
UINavigationBar *navBar = self.navigationController.navigationBar;
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"yourNavBarBackground.png"];
[navBar setBackgroundImage:image];
This code should go in the method
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
of the view controller where you want to have the custom image.
And, in that case you should better call:
[navBar clearBackgroundImage]; // Clear any previously added background image
before setBackgroundImage (otherwise it will be added multiple times...)
its changed for ios6, to make it work in ios 6 use:
UINavigationBar *navBar = self.navigationController.navigationBar;
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"image.png"];
[navBar setBackgroundImage:image forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"YourImage.png"];
UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:image];
[self.navigationController.navigationBar addSubview:imageView];
There is actually a much easier way to add a background image to any UIView class or subclass. It requires no class categorization or extension (subclassing), and you can do this on an "as needed" basis. For example, to add a background image to a view controller's navigation bar, do the following:
self.navigationController.navigationBar.layer.contents = (id)[UIImage
imageNamed:#"background.png"].CGImage;
You'll need to remember to add the Quartz Core framework to your project and add #import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h> wherever you need to do this. This is a much cleaner, simpler way to alter the drawing layer of anything that inherits from UIView. Of course, if you want to accomplish a similar effect for all navigation bars or tab bars, then subclassing makes sense.
UIImage *logo = [UIImage imageNamed:#"my_logo"];
UIImageView *logoView = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithImage:logo];
logoView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 37);
UINavigationController *searchNavCtrl = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:searchViewController];
searchNavCtrl.navigationBar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlack;
//searchNavCtrl.navigationItem.titleView = logoView;
//[searchNavCtrl.navigationController.navigationBar.topItem setTitleView:logoView];
[searchNavCtrl.navigationBar addSubview:logoView];
[logoView release];
Just add this line .
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"NavBar.png"] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
Bam! One line and done.
I used cmp's solution and added some logic to remove it as I only wanted a custom background image on home screen within on view appear.
HomeViewController.m
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"HomeTitleBG.png"];
UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:image];
imageView.tag = 10;
UIImageView *testImgView = (UIImageView *)[self.navigationController.navigationBar viewWithTag:10];
if ( testImgView != nil )
{
NSLog(#"%s yes there is a bg image so remove it then add it so it doesn't double it", __FUNCTION__);
[testImgView removeFromSuperview];
} else {
NSLog(#"%s no there isn't a bg image so add it ", __FUNCTION__);
}
[self.navigationController.navigationBar addSubview:imageView];
[imageView release];
I also tried to use the suggested clearBackgroundImage method but couldn't get it to work so I gave the image a tag and then removed it in the other viewcontrollers on view will appear.
OtherViewController.m
UIImageView *testImgView = (UIImageView *)[self.navigationController.navigationBar viewWithTag:10];
if ( testImgView != nil )
{
NSLog(#"%s yes there is a bg image so remove it", __FUNCTION__);
[testImgView removeFromSuperview];
}
`
just go the view controller and paste in super viewdidload
and replace your image in mainlogo and then set the navigation title in set your image logo
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
//set your image frame
UIImageView *image=[[UIImageView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,70,45)] ;
//set your image logo replace to the main-logo
[image setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"main-logo"]];
[self.navigationController.navigationBar.topItem setTitleView:image];
}
Add code in appdelegate did finish with launching method
#define UIColorFromRGB(rgbValue) [UIColor colorWithRed:((float)((rgbValue & 0xFF0000) >> 16))/255.0 green:((float)((rgbValue & 0xFF00) >> 8))/255.0 blue:((float)(rgbValue & 0xFF))/255.0 alpha:1.0]
if([[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] floatValue] < 7.0)
{
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"navigation_or.png"] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleVerticalPositionAdjustment:0.0 forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
}
else
{
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBarTintColor:UIColorFromRGB(0x067AB5)];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTintColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
// Uncomment to assign a custom backgroung image
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"navigation_or.png"] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
// Uncomment to change the back indicator image
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setShadowImage:[[UIImage alloc] init]];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackIndicatorTransitionMaskImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#""]];
// Uncomment to change the font style of the title
NSShadow *shadow = [[NSShadow alloc] init];
shadow.shadowColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.0 green:0.0 blue:0.0 alpha:0.8];
shadow.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0, 0);
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes: [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:[UIColor colorWithRed:245.0/255.0 green:245.0/255.0 blue:245.0/255.0 alpha:1.0], NSForegroundColorAttributeName,shadow, NSShadowAttributeName,[UIFont fontWithName:#"HelveticaNeue-Bold" size:17], NSFontAttributeName, nil]];
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleVerticalPositionAdjustment:0.0 forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
}
how to display an image in the navigation bar of an iPhone application? (say, right after the title)
Here's how to have the image centered in the NavBar.
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed: #"NavBarImage.png"];
UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage: image];
self.navigationItem.titleView = imageView;
[imageView release];
This code is actually contained with the Apple source for the NavBar and can be found at the iPhone Developer Center at Apple.
The source shows you various ways to manipulate both the StatusBar & NavBar.
I haven't tested this but as UINavigationBar is a view you can add subViews to it.
UIImage* myImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"Myimage.png"];
UIImageView* myImageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:myImage];
myImageView.frame.origin.x = 30.0; // You will have to find suitable values for the origin
myImageView.frame.origin.y = 5.0;
[myTabbar addSubView:myImageView];
[myImageView release];
You can use things like the backItem property to calculate the position of your image view.
If you want the image at the right of the nav bar, you can define it as a custom button with no action when presed, like this
UIButton* fakeButton = (UIButton *) [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"yourimage.png"]];
UIBarButtonItem *fakeButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:fakeButton];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = fakeButtonItem;
[fakeButtonItem release];
[fakeButton release];
Simply Place that code in - (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated; so it'll work fine
and add one image having size 320x40 named Top Bar
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed: #"TopBar.png"];
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setBackgroundImage:image forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
the navigation bar has a property called title view - set this to the image you like. Since the titleView overwrites the title of the nav bar you have to include the desired title in the image file. Still set the title to what you want so it appears on the back button when you push a view Controller
I encountered the same problem.Found out the best solution
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"background_image.png"] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
Hope this would help....
Just write your own navigation bar. Therefore you have to disable the Navigation Bar fist:
Disable the top bar in the interface builder by selecting your Navigation Controller in
your Storyboard: Attributes Inspector -> Simulated Metrics -> Top Bar: select None
Afterwards you can add any HeaderView you like...
UIView *headerView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, sFrame.size.width, 100)];
UIColor *background = [[UIColor alloc] initWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"header_image.png"]];
self.headerView.backgroundColor = background;
// ...add buttons and labels
[self.view addSubview:headerView];
