I want to add two buttons with custom image to Navigation Bar with some specific position.
I found solution But it is for Right/Left Navigation Bar Button.
My code for that is:
NSMutableArray *buttons = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:2];
UIToolbar *tools = [[UIToolbar alloc]
initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, 90.0f, 55.01f)];
// Add Pin button.
UIBarButtonItem *bi1 = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Edit" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:#selector(Edit:)];
bi1.style = UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered;
bi1.width = 45;
[buttons addObject:bi1];
[bi1 release];
// Add Hot Spot button.
UIBarButtonItem *bi2 = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"+" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:#selector(Add:)];
bi2.style = UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered;
[buttons addObject:bi2];
[bi2 release];
// Add buttons to toolbar and toolbar to nav bar.
[tools setItems:buttons animated:NO];
[buttons release];
// Add toolbar to nav bar.
UIBarButtonItem *twoButtons = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:tools];
[tools release];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = twoButtons;
[twoButtons release];
How can i do this?
UIView *vieww =[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 44)];
[vieww addSubview:yourBtn1];
[vieww addSubview:yourBtn2];
[self.navigationController.navigationBar addSubview:vieww];
And if you want to remove yourButtonView then make is global object;
in .h
UIView *vieww;
and in .m
-(void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated
{
[vieww removeFromSuperview];
}

if you are using >iOS 5, then use this.
UIBarButtonItem *btn1=[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#" + " style:UIBarButtonItemStyleDone target:self action:#selector(action1:)];
UIBarButtonItem *btn2=[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#" - " style:UIBarButtonItemStyleDone target:self action:#selector(action2:) ];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItems=[NSArray arrayWithObjects:btn1,btn2,nil];
for < iOS 5 u can use following:
UIToolbar* tools = [[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 160, 44.01)];
tools.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlackOpaque;
// create the array to hold the buttons, which then gets added to the toolbar
NSMutableArray* buttons = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:4];
[buttons addObject:btn1];
[buttons addObject:btn2];
[tools setItems:buttons animated:NO];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:tools];
Instead of adding toolbar, you can create one UIView, add two buttons on that view.
UIBarButtonItem *twoButtons = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:yourView];
If you want to do this in combination with using a storyboard, take a look at this question.

I hope to push keyboard with button list on the top of the keyboard.
Please refer to the image
Is it possible?
you need to add a toolbar. Here is an example I used for an action sheet - you can make the modifications for the keyboard easily:
//DEFINING TOOL BAR
UIToolbar * keyboardToolbar = [[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 44)];
keyboardToolbar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlackOpaque;
[keyboardToolbar sizeToFit];
NSMutableArray *barItems = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
UIBarButtonItem *flexSpace = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace target:self action:nil];
[barItems addObject:flexSpace];
UIBarButtonItem *doneBtn = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemDone target:self action:#selector(dismissKeyboard:)];
[barItems addObject:doneBtn];
[keyboardToolbar setItems:barItems animated:YES];
[keyboard addSubview:keyboardToolbar];
You can obviously add more items to the UIToolBar for "Next", "Previous", etc.
It is possible. Here is a link to a keyboard controls project on github.
I want to draw multiple buttons on a UINavigationBar. These will be either on right side or left side.
I did one example in which I had two buttons ( i.e. Edit and +) on Right side of NaviagationBar.
1) You have to create one NSMutableArray(i.e. "buttons" in example) and add UIBarButtonItem (i.e. bi1 and bi2 in example) to the NSMutableArray (i.e. buttons).
2) Add NSMutableArray(i.e. buttons in example) to toolbar(i.e. UIToolbar *tools in example).
3) Add toolbar to NavigationBar.
NSMutableArray *buttons = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:2];
UIToolbar *tools = [[UIToolbar alloc]
initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, 90.0f, 55.01f)];
// Add bar button1.
UIBarButtonItem *bi1 = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Edit" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:#selector(Edit:)];
bi1.style = UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered;
bi1.width = 45;
[buttons addObject:bi1];
//[bi1 release]; Do not release if ARC enabled.
// Add bar button2.
UIBarButtonItem *bi2 = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"+" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:#selector(Add:)];
bi2.style = UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered;
[buttons addObject:bi2];
//[bi2 release]; Do not release if ARC enabled.
// Add buttons to toolbar and toolbar to nav bar.
[tools setItems:buttons animated:NO];
//[buttons release]; Do not release if ARC enabled.
// Add toolbar to nav bar.
UIBarButtonItem *twoButtons = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:tools];
[tools release];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = twoButtons;
//[twoButtons release]; Do not release if ARC enabled.
do it in your xib file and make properties or just variables in the header
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIBarButtonItem *itemOne;
and then connect it in the xib. Enjoy
Create a new UIToolbar in code and add your buttons to the toolbar. Then set self.navigationItem.rightBarButton to your newly created toolbar (note the example is without ARC so you may need to remove calls to release):
// create a toolbar to have two buttons in the right
UIToolbar* tools = [[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 44.01)];
// create the array to hold the buttons, which then gets added to the toolbar
NSMutableArray* buttons = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:3];
// create a standard "add" button
UIBarButtonItem* bi = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemAdd target:self action:#selector(addRow)];
bi.style = UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered;
[buttons addObject:bi];
[bi release];
// create a spacer
bi = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFixedSpace target:nil action:nil];
[buttons addObject:bi];
[bi release];
[buttons addObject:self.editButtonItem];
// stick the buttons in the toolbar
[tools setItems:buttons animated:NO];
[buttons release];
// and put the toolbar in the nav bar
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:tools];
Here I'm giving you sample code that I used for Button as well as label. you can create button instead of label and image what i created. I hope it will help you
- (void) setLabelForPotraite {
bar = [self.navigationController navigationBar];
[bar setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
barImg=[[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"navImg.png"]];
[bar addSubview:barImg];
tick_img_lbl=[[UIImageView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(86, 6,34, 33)];
tick_img_lbl.image=[UIImage imageNamed:#"tick-1.png"];
[bar addSubview:tick_img_lbl];
[tick_img_lbl release];
tickCount_lbl=[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(126, 2, 50, 40)];
tickCount_lbl.text=#"";
tickCount_lbl.font=[UIFont fontWithName:#"Arial" size:24.0];
[tickCount_lbl setTextAlignment:UITextAlignmentCenter];
tickCount_lbl.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:24.0];
tickCount_lbl.textColor=[UIColor whiteColor];
tickCount_lbl.backgroundColor=[UIColor clearColor];
[bar addSubview:tickCount_lbl];
[tickCount_lbl release];
cross_img_lbl=[[UIImageView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(181, 6, 34, 33)];
cross_img_lbl.image=[UIImage imageNamed:#"x_green.png"];
[bar addSubview:cross_img_lbl];
[cross_img_lbl release];
crossCount_lbl=[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(221, 2, 50, 40)];
crossCount_lbl.text=#"";
crossCount_lbl.font=[UIFont fontWithName:#"Arial" size:24.0];
crossCount_lbl.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:24.0];
crossCount_lbl.textColor=[UIColor whiteColor];
[crossCount_lbl setTextAlignment:UITextAlignmentCenter];
crossCount_lbl.backgroundColor=[UIColor clearColor];
[bar addSubview:crossCount_lbl];
[crossCount_lbl release];
master_img_lbl=[[UIImageView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(269, 6, 34, 33)];
master_img_lbl.image=[UIImage imageNamed:#"thumb.png"];
[bar addSubview:master_img_lbl];
[master_img_lbl release];
}
If any problem in understanding or else then plz inform me.
I am already creating multiple buttons but I don't know how to align the buttons.
My code is here:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
//self.title=#"Asset Management";
[super viewDidLoad];
listOfItems = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
[listOfItems addObject:#"User Information"];
[listOfItems addObject:#"Regional Settings"];
[listOfItems addObject:#"Configuration"];
toolbar = [[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 20, 320, 44)];
//UIToolbar* toolbar = [[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame:CGs
toolbar.tintColor = [UIColor clearColor];
[toolbar setTranslucent:YES];
// create the array to hold the buttons, which then gets added to the toolbar
NSMutableArray* buttons = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:3];
// Create button1
UIBarButtonItem *propertiesButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemSearch target:self action:#selector(button1Pressed)];
[buttons addObject:propertiesButton];
[propertiesButton release];
// Create button2
UIBarButtonItem *commentaryButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemCompose target:self action:#selector(button2Pressed)];
[buttons addObject:commentaryButton];
[commentaryButton release];
// Create button3
UIBarButtonItem *versionsButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemCancel target:self action:#selector(button3Pressed)];
[buttons addObject:versionsButton];
[versionsButton release];
// stick the buttons in the toolbar
[toolbar setItems:buttons animated:NO];
//self.toolbarItems = buttons;
[buttons release];
// and put the toolbar in the nav bar
[[self navigationItem] setRightBarButtonItem:[[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:toolbar] autorelease]];
[toolbar release];
}
How do I create space b/w the buttons. Pls help me.
Thanks in advance!
You can add spaces between tool bar items using either of the two built-in space button types
UIBarButtonSystemItemFixedSpace and UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace.
Fixed Space button
UIBarButtonItem *fixedSpace = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFixedSpace
target:nil
action:nil];
[fixedSpace setWidth:20];
Flexible Space button
UIBarButtonItem *flexibleSpace = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace
target:nil
action:nil];
Add the space bar buttons in between the other tool bar items.
I have a View With UINavigationBar
Navigation Bar only permits me the button at fix position
With Fix Position at the sides of the navigation bar..
I want to customize the position of button...
Any Idea...will help me
Thanks in Advance
You can't customize the position of the buttons on a UINavigationItem, you only can set the rightBarButtonItem and leftBarButtonItem.
If you really need this, consider using a toolbar instead.
If you need a back button just like the navigation bar's back button, create a custom button and use an image.
Here's a PSD that will help.
You can position custom buttons within the UINavigationItem. This is how I added three buttons to the right:
// create a toolbar to have three buttons in the right (thanks Mart!)
tools = [[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 157, 44.01)];
UIImageView *imgView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0, 1.0, 157.0, 44.1)];
[imgView setImage:[UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"NavigationBarBackground" ofType:#"png"]]];
[tools addSubview:imgView];
[tools sendSubviewToBack:imgView];
[tools setTintColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:127/255.0 green:184/255.0 blue:72/255.0 alpha:1.0]];
[imgView release];
// create the array to hold the buttons, which then gets added to the toolbar
NSMutableArray* buttons = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:3];
UIBarButtonItem* bi = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithTitle:#"Filter" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:#selector(showFilter:)];
[buttons addObject:bi];
[bi release];
bi = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"Map.png"] style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:#selector(showMap:)];
[buttons addObject:bi];
[bi release];
bi = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"Favourite.png"] style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:#selector(saveSearch:)];
[buttons addObject:bi];
[bi release];
[tools setItems:buttons animated:NO];
[buttons release];
rightBarButton = nil;
rightBarButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:tools];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = rightBarButton;
how can i add buttons just beside a left barButton or just beside rightbarButton,
i mean i need to have more than 2 buttons on the title bar is that possible?
thanx in advance
You can use a view with two buttons in your leftBarButton -
UIBarButtonItem *leftBarButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:leftBtnsView];
As drawn from this blog post:
Think of a toolbar as your container,
instead of the UIView object. And
since a UIToolBar is UIView based, it
can be added to the right side of a
nav bar using the above trick. The
following code shows how you can add
two standard buttons to the right
side:
// create a toolbar to have two buttons in the right
UIToolbar* tools = [[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 133, 44.01)];
// create the array to hold the buttons, which then gets added to the toolbar
NSMutableArray* buttons = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:3];
// create a standard "add" button
UIBarButtonItem* bi = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemAdd target:self action:NULL];
bi.style = UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered;
[buttons addObject:bi];
[bi release];
// create a spacer
bi = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFixedSpace target:nil action:nil];
[buttons addObject:bi];
[bi release];
// create a standard "refresh" button
bi = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemRefresh target:self action:#selector(refresh:)];
bi.style = UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered;
[buttons addObject:bi];
[bi release];
// stick the buttons in the toolbar
[tools setItems:buttons animated:NO];
[buttons release];
// and put the toolbar in the nav bar
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:tools];
[tools release];
Also check the SO post
Adding buttons to navigation bar
I would suggest to use UISegmentedControl to hold all your buttons and use
[[UIButton alloc] initWithCustomView:] to show the segment control.
Here is a sample of how you could go about doing this. I am using a MasterDetailView template that comes with the top navigation bar for this example:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
UIBarButtonItem *leftButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] init];
UIBarButtonItem *rightButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] init];
leftButton.title = #"Left button";
rightButton.title = #"right button";
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = leftButton;
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = rightButton;
}
You can do something like this, there's something called UINavigationItem.rightBarButtonItems
UIBarButtonItem *settingsButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"xxx.png"] style:UIBarButtonItemStyleDone target:self action:#selector(something)];
UIBarButtonItem *menuButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"xxx.png"]
style:UIBarButtonItemStyleDone target:self
action:#selector(something)];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItems = #[settingsButton, menuButton];
i think you need something like this
UIBarButtonItem *firstButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"First" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:nil];
UIBarButtonItem *secondButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Second" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:nil];
self.navigationController.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItems=#[firstButton, secondButton];
it will add two bar button items on left of navigation bar. you can make it on right side the same way
self.navigationController.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItems=#[firstButton, secondButton];
