I know how to change the UINavigationBar's title font properties by using this code:
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setTitleTextAttributes:
[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
[UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:16.0f], UITextAttributeFont, nil]];
However, I am finding that when I change the font size in this way it effects all views, not just the view in which I am implementing the above code. The problem is, I want to change the size for just 2 views that have long titles. The other views (including the root view) I wish to retain the default setting for font size. I've tried changing the font size back to normal in the viewDidLoad method using the above code, but it does not work.
Is there a way to change the title font size for just certain views? Thanks.
You should call that code in each view controller's viewWillAppear: method. When you set it in viewDidLoad, the setting gets overridden by the next view controller's actions. You might also have to call setNeedsDisplay on the navigationBar to refresh it (although I don't believe so).
Like so:
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setTitleTextAttributes:
[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
[UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:16.0f],
UITextAttributeFont,
nil]];
}

In iOS 6 we change name of done button in MPMoviePlayerController next way:
id mpBarAppearance = [UIBarButtonItem appearanceWhenContainedIn:[MPMoviePlayerViewController class], nil];
[mpBarAppearance setTitle:#"ГОТОВО"];
[mpBarAppearance setTitlePositionAdjustment:UIOffsetMake(1.5f, 1.f) forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
[mpBarAppearance setTitlePositionAdjustment:UIOffsetMake(1.5f, 1.f) forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsLandscapePhone];
Now in iOS 7 this crash app, under debbug it no raise exception and I cann't even understand why ?
It's because you can't use the appearance proxy to customise the title of UIBarButtonItems. Otherwise, all the bar buttons contained in the given parent would be named the same. You can customise other appearance parameters such as the background images, title position and so on.
The appearance proxy reference for UIBarButtonItem can be found here
My custom TrueType font file that I brought into Xcode is not displaying correctly in the UINavigationBar. Instead of displaying the custom font, it displays the System font (Helvetica Bold).
RootViewController.m
self.title = #"Library";
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:
[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
[UIColor whiteColor], UITextAttributeTextColor,
[UIFont fontWithName:#"adellebasic_bold.ttf" size:20.0], UITextAttributeFont,nil]];
I have also made sure that I copied it into Xcode correctly and I declared it under UIAppFonts in the Info.plist file. Also note that the code works if I set it to a UIFont that is included in the iPhone SDK but not a custom font brought in.
Does anyone have the slightest idea for what I'm doing wrong here?
Try this:
NSMutableDictionary *titleBarAttributes = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithDictionary: [[UINavigationBar appearance] titleTextAttributes]];
[titleBarAttributes setValue:[UIFont fontWithName:#"adellebasic_bold" size:25.0f] forKey:UITextAttributeFont];
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setTitleTextAttributes:titleBarAttributes];
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setTitleVerticalPositionAdjustment:4.0f forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
Hope this helps.
actually the font file name and the font name are two different things.
Check This: iOS: How can i set a non system font family, style, size of UILabel? .
Try this name "Adelle Basic Bold".
I want to increase the Text size of UITabBarItem in my application.It is not visible clearly with its default color and size.
I tried this code but give me error -->UITabBar for instant message does not declare method with selector 'setTitleTextAttributes'.
Does any know how to do it?
[yourTabBarItem setTitleTextAttributes:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
[UIColor whiteColor], UITextAttributeTextColor,
[NSValue valueWithUIOffset:UIOffsetMake(0,0)], UITextAttributeTextShadowOffset,
[UIFont fontWithName:#"Helvetica" size:18.0], UITextAttributeFont, nil]
forState:UIControlStateNormal];
I think the default size is fully conveninet for the user. Anyway you want, maybe you should make your own <Tabbar> with UIView, UIButtons and UITabbar-style images.
setTitleTextAttributes:forState: is only available in iOS 5.0 or later. Please refer to UIBarItem Class Reference (UITabBarItem is subclass of UIBarItem). For prior versions of iOS, I think you'd better create your own customized tab bar.
And you may also want to try other methods from the answers in Changing font size of tabbaritem.
For that you should create dynamic tab bar using UITabbar class.
.Using this You can allow own size text ,image,color.
I know I can change the tint color of navigation bar in xib file easily. But the problem is that if i have to change in a lot of places.
Hence i tried using the (fancy) category and overriding the draw rect method.
#import "UINavigationBar+customTint.h"
#implementation UINavigationBar (customTint)
-(void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect{
self.tintColor = [UIColor redColor];
}
#end
I have imported it in the corresponding view controller as well. What am i doing wrong?
Whats the right way of doing it?
THanks in advance
That is one way of doing it. It would probably just be easier in you ViewController where ever you need to change it add the line:
self.navigationController.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor redColor];
Using a category for just one line is probably overkill.
EDIT:
If you do want to use a category, you may need to call setNeedsDisplay on the navigation bar. or override another method and call it.
Something like ,
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setNeedsDisplay];
Also according to Apple's documentation
In iOS 5, the UINavigationBar, UIToolbar, and UITabBar implementations have changed so that the drawRect: method is not called unless it is implemented in a subclass. Apps that have re-implemented drawRect: in a category on any of these classes will find that the drawRect: method isn't called. UIKit does link-checking to keep the method from being called in apps linked before iOS 5 but does not support this design on iOS 5 or later.
Apps can either:
Use the customization API for bars in iOS 5 and later, which is the preferred way.
Subclass UINavigationBar (or the other bar classes) and override drawRect: in the subclass.
The best way to therefore go about this would be to place this in your ApplicationDidFinishLaunching
NSString *reqSysVer = #"5.0";
NSString *currSysVer = [[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion];
if ([currSysVer compare:reqSysVer options:NSNumericSearch] != NSOrderedAscending)
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTintColor:myColor];
And also leave your DrawRect, so that it will work on iOS less than 5
If you're using iOS5 then the correct way to do it is to use the UIAppearance proxy.
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTintColor:myColor];
Details here: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/uikit/reference/UIAppearance_Protocol/Reference/Reference.html
I have a need to use a custom background for the UINavigationBar in a MFMailComposeViewController. Previously I was using a category on UINavigationBar to achieve this throughout my app, but Apple specifically requests that you do not do this. Additionally this may or may not work in future versions of iOS that are currently under NDA.
I am now using a subclass of UINavigationBar to achieve the look I'm after in the rest of the app, but I can't see any way to use this with the MFMailComposeViewController. Any ideas?
Note: I'm aware of methods to do this in a future version of iOS, but this needs to be built against a current version (4.3) of the SDK.
I just ran across this -- you can dynamically inject the class a view controller uses using object_setClass.
#import <objc/runtime.h>
object_setClass(mailController.navigationBar, [YourNavigationBarSubClass class]);
You can customize the nav bar's titleView with a custom view using the code below. Expanding upon this idea, you may be able to resize the titleView to cover the entire navigation bar and use a custom background in that to simulate a custom navbar background.
The only possible sticky part I can think of is that you need to make sure the titleView sits behind the buttons in the toolbar.
Once you have your MFMailComposerViewController reference, here is the code to customize the titleView:
[self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
UIView *backgroundView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(//set size to navbar size)];
[backgroundView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithPatternImage://your custom image ]];
controller.topViewController.navigationItem.titleView = backgroundView ;
[controller release];
The mail composition interface itself is not customizable and must not be modified by your application.
check apple reference for more info...
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/MessageUI/Reference/MFMailComposeViewController_class/Reference/Reference.html
but we can customizable the mail composition as given oin the above answer....
After some hacking and testing, still not manage to customize the button. But this is the closest I can get, by setting the tint color of mail controller.
Try accessing them through mailController.navigationBar.items, which is an array of the bar items.
MFMailComposeViewController *mailController = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
mailController.mailComposeDelegate = self;
mailController.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor brownColor];
Although it would be nice to get more control over the appearance, I don't think there is a clean method. When you cant change it...hide it:
NSDictionary *attributes = #{NSForegroundColorAttributeName: [UIColor clearColor]};
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:attributes];
