Programmatically add UILabel to toolbar - iphone

Question

I am trying to add a UILabel programmatically into my UIToolBar but it dose not seem to be appearing. This is what I am doing with my code.
- (void) viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
// Create custom toolbar at top of screen under navigation controller
[matchingSeriesInfoToolBar setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 60, 320, 30)];
matchingSeriesInfoToolBar = [UIToolbar new];
[matchingSeriesInfoToolBar sizeToFit];
CGFloat toolbarHeight = 30;
CGRect mainViewBounds = [[UIScreen mainScreen] applicationFrame];
[matchingSeriesInfoToolBar setFrame:CGRectMake(CGRectGetMinX(mainViewBounds), 0, CGRectGetWidth(mainViewBounds), toolbarHeight)];
matchingSeriesInfoToolBar.tintColor = [UIColor darkGrayColor];
[self.view addSubview:matchingSeriesInfoToolBar];
// Create size of uitableview (to fit toolbar.
[matchingSeriesTableView setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 30, self.view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height - 30)];
[self.view addSubview:matchingSeriesTableView];
// Ad UILabel to the toolbar
UIBarButtonItem *textFieldItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:manufSelectionLabel];
matchingSeriesInfoToolBar.items = [NSArray arrayWithObject:textFieldItem];
manufSelectionLabel.text = #"Hello World!";
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
}
So pretty much I have created a custom toolbar which I have changed the usual location from the bottom of the screen, to appear under the UINavigationController, this is also added to the view like this so it animated properly in the view transitions..
After which I create the size of the tableview so that it appears after the custom toolbar..
then from there I am trying to add a UILabel to the toolbar.. but for some reason its not working out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

You must actually create the label somewhere. This code works just fine.
UIToolbar *toolbar = [[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 44)];
[self.view addSubview:toolbar];
UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 44)];
label.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
UIBarButtonItem *item = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:label];
toolbar.items = [NSArray arrayWithObject:item];
label.text = #"Hello World";

Answer 2

In the code you posted you don't ever make a UILabel. Your comment says Ad UILabel to the toolbar but you then proceed to make a UIBarButtonItem with a custom view manufSectionLabel.
Where is the code which creates manufSectionLabel?
PS This line does nothing :
[matchingSeriesInfoToolBar setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 60, 320, 30)];
because at that point matchingSeriesInfoToolbar is nil - you haven't made it yet!
