I have a custom bar button item that I want to nudge down 5 pixels. How would I go about doing that witht the following code. I tried to set the "y" point but keep getting syntax errors.
[self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:NO animated:YES];
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"arrow_back.png"];
UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:image];
[self.navigationController.navigationBar addSubview:imageView];
[imageView release];
UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[button setImage:buttonImage forState:UIControlStateNormal];
//set the frame of the button to the size of the image (see note below)
button.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, buttonImage.size.width, buttonImage.size.height);
[button addTarget:self action:#selector(back) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
//create a UIBarButtonItem with the button as a custom view
UIBarButtonItem *customBarItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:button];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = customBarItem;
[customBarItem release];
}
thanks for any help
A UIBarButton item doesn't inherit from UIView so doesn't have a "frame" property that you can adjust directly so you need to use a different method.
Try:
[self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem setBackgroundVerticalPositionAdjustment:5 forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];

I am setting Back and next Button as Navigation Bar item left button and right button.which have code below as
// Back Button
UIBarButtonItem *aBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:aButton];
[aButton addTarget:self action:#selector(navigatehome)forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = aBarButtonItem;
//Next Button
aBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:aButton];
[aButton addTarget:self action:#selector(navigatenext)forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self.navigationItem setRightBarButtonItem:aBarButtonItem]
And Problem when animated:YES in statement
CSA_info *h1=[[CSA_info alloc]init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:h1 animated:YES];
It shows as below image
If uses animated:No then showed as below
I am adding a image in as subview in navigation Bar so it hides the buttons.
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"title bar.png"];
UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:image];
imageView.frame = CGRectMake(-5, 0, 330, 44);
[self.navigationController.navigationBar insertSubview:imageView atIndex:2];
I required to add that image in navigation.
Why it so, Any Help ?
you need to put title bar image in secondViewcontroller like bellow in ViewDidLoad
UIImage* imageback = [UIImage imageNamed:#"Back_Button.png"];
CGRect frameimgback = CGRectMake(0, 0, 50, 30);
backButton = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:frameimgback];
[backButton setBackgroundImage:imageback forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[backButton addTarget:self action:#selector(Back)
forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"titileBar.png"];
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setBackgroundImage:image forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
UIBarButtonItem *btn = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithCustomView:backButton];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = btn;
If I understood you problem properly then following solution should work,
You need to add the code in viewDidLoad method of the view controller. Please refer the below code
UIButton *backButton = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:kButtonFrame];
[backButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:kBackButtonImage] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[backButton addTarget:self action:#selector(navigatehome)forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
UIBarButtonItem *aBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:backButton];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = aBarButtonItem;
UIButton *nextButton = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:kButtonFrame];
[nextButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:kNextButtonImage] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[nextButton addTarget:self action:#selector(navigatenext)forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
UIBarButtonItem *aBarButtonItemRight = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:nextButton];
[self.navigationItem setRightBarButtonItem:aBarButtonItemRight];
This should work fine even you animated while pushing the view controller.
I have a detailview with a navigation bar with a back button and a name for the view.
The navigation bar is set programmatically.
The name presented is set like this.
self.title = NSLocalizedString(name, #"");
The name depends on the presented view.
Now I would like to also present a small icon on the navigation bar which also is depends on the view.
How do I do that?
You can set backGround image to navigationBar Using this
Put in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"title_bar.png"] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
Or you can set navigation bar image in any view using
UINavigationBar *navBar = [[self navigationController] navigationBar];
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"TopBar.png"];
[navBar setBackgroundImage:image forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
Or you can set a view on your NavigationBar Link
[[UINavigationBar appearance] addSubview:yourView];
or
self.navigationItem.titleView = YourView;
And set title using h
self.navigationItem.title = #"Your Title";
And you can get navigationBarButton using this
-(void)getRightBarBtn
{
UIButton *Btn =[UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[Btn setFrame:CGRectMake(0.0f,0.0f,68.0f,30.0f)];
[Btn setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"yourImage.png"]] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
//[Btn setTitle:#"OK" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
//Btn.titleLabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"Georgia" size:14];
[Btn addTarget:self action:#selector(yourBtnPress:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
UIBarButtonItem *addButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:Btn];
[self.navigationItem setRightBarButtonItem:addButton];
}
And set simple imageView on navigation Bar
UIImageView *image = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"star.png"]];
UIBarButtonItem *backBarButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:image];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = backBarButton;
You need to subclass UINavigationBar. Then in drawRect do something like:
[[UIImage imageNamed...] drawInRect:...]
and call the super method ofcourse
Add this code into viewDidLoad in your ViewController:
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed: #"myIcon.png"];
UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:image];
imageView.frame = CGRectMake(5, 2, 100, 39);
[self.navigationController.navigationBar addSubview:imageView];
imageView can also be declared as an instance variable, so you can access it after you've added it (e.g. if you want to remove your icon from your navigationBar at some point).
UIButton *homeBtn=[[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 46, 28)];
[homeBtn setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"homeBtn.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[homeBtn addTarget:self action:#selector(homeBtnPressed) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
UIBarButtonItem *navHomeBtn=[[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:homeBtn] autorelease];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem=navHomeBtn;
[homeBtn release];
I have both a UIImage and a "back" button appearing in my viewcontroller and can't figure out why.
here's a screenshot:
here's my code:
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
[self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:NO animated:YES];
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"arrow_back.png"];
UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:image];
[self.navigationController.navigationBar addSubview:imageView];
}
thanks for any help.
You will have to create a backbarbutton item and add a custom to it. Then you define the action for it, where you pop the current view.
UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[button setImage:buttonImage forState:UIControlStateNormal];
//set the frame of the button to the size of the image (see note below)
button.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, buttonImage.size.width, buttonImage.size.height);
[button addTarget:self action:#selector(back) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
//create a UIBarButtonItem with the button as a custom view
UIBarButtonItem *customBarItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:button];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = customBarItem;
// selector for backButton
-(void)back{
[self.navigationController popViewController];
}
You need to create a custom button and add it as a subview of self.navigationController.navigationBar.backBarButtonItem.
The back button is automatic when you push a second view controller into the navigation controller. You can override it as Andrew Ebling mentioned. You will need to create a custom UIBarButton item.
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"back.png"];
UIBarButtonItem *back = [UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:image
style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain
target:self
action:#selector(backEvent:)];
self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = back;
I have a Tab bar application. and in one of the tab bars I have a navigation contorller.
Im trying to set a UIButton with an image as the right button the navigation bar.
UIButton *refreshButton = [[UIButton alloc] init];
[refreshButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"refresh_icon.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[refreshButton addTarget:self action:#selector(refreshSection) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
UIBarButtonItem *rightButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:refreshButton];
//[rightButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"refresh_icon.png"]]; << DOESN'T WORK EITHER
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = rightButton;
[refreshButton release];
[rightButton release];
but the image doesn't show up. I get an invisible button.
EDIT:
I want the button style to be plain or background to be transparent, so that only the image shows. Hence I am using a UIbutton instead of using a UIBarButton directly.
You don't have to create a UIButton and use it as custom view in the UIBarButtonItem. You can create a UIBarButtonItem directly with an image:
UIImage *myImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"myImage.png"];
UIBarButtonItem *button = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:myImage style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:#selector(refreshSection)];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = button;
[button release];

Updated, according to comments
Use a UIImageView as custom view in the UIBarButtonItem:
UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"myImage.png"]];
UIBarButtonItem *rightButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:imageView];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = rightButton;
[imageView release];
[rightButton release];

Updated
Tried the last approach and while this does visually look like you want it to, I can't seem to get it to handle taps. Although the target and action has been set.

Final update
I've gotten your initial code in the question up & running. The reason the image is not showing, is because you haven't set the frame of the button. Once you set the frame, the image is shown in the navigation bar.
Here's my snippet I used & tested:
UIImage *myImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"paw.png"];
UIButton *myButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[myButton setImage:myImage forState:UIControlStateNormal];
myButton.showsTouchWhenHighlighted = YES;
myButton.frame = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, myImage.size.width, myImage.size.height);
[myButton addTarget:self action:#selector(tapped:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
UIBarButtonItem *rightButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:myButton];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = rightButton;
[rightButton release];
[myButton release];
Note: I have set the showsTouchWhenHighlighted property of the UIButton to visually hightlight the button when it is pressed.
I ended up doing this
UIButton *refreshButton = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(292, 9, 27, 27)];
[refreshButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"refresh_icon.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[refreshButton addTarget:self action:#selector(refresh) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[self.navigationController.navigationBar addSubview:refreshButton];
[refreshButton release];
It works fine now but I am not really sure if this is the right way of doing it.
I am trying to add an image to the UIBarButtonItem which I have to use in a UIToolbar.
I have managed to read the image and even get it to display with a UIImageView, but when i add it to the UIBarButtonItem and then add that item to the UIToolbar, the toolbar just displaces a "Blank White" space the size and shape of the image that I am trying to load.
here is what I am trying.
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"6.png"];
//This is the UIImageView that I was using to display the image so that i know that it is being read from the path specified.
UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:image];
imageView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 50, image.size.width, image.size.height);
[self.view addSubview:imageView];
UIButton *button1 = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[button1 setImage:image forState:UIControlStateNormal];
//This is the first way that I was trying to accomplish the task but i just get a blank white space
//This is the Second way but with the same blank white result.
UIBarButtonItem *systemItem1 = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:button2];
NSArray *items = [NSArray arrayWithObjects: systemItem1, nil];
//Adding array of buttons to toolbar
[toolBar setItems:items animated:NO];
//Adding the Toolbar to the view.
[self.view addSubview:toolBar];
Your help will be much appreciated.
Thank You!

Other than you'd normally expect in UIKit stuff, you might need to set a frame for the button explicitly. Maybe that's your problem.
This is what I wrote for a custom styled back button, as a category to UIBarButtonItem (but you can just take the pieces you need from it).
Note that this was used for the navigation bar, not the toolbar, but I presume the mechanics are the same, since it is a UIBarButtonItem as well. For UIToolbar you can just use IB to get it right at compile time.
#define TEXT_MARGIN 8.0f
#define ARROW_MARGIN 12.0f
#define FONT_SIZE 13.0f
#define IMAGE_HEIGHT 31.0f
+(UIBarButtonItem*)arrowLeftWithText:(NSString*)txt target:(id)target action:(SEL)selector
{
UIButton *btn = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
UIImage *img = [[UIImage imageNamed:#"arrow_left.png"]
stretchableImageWithLeftCapWidth:15 topCapHeight:0];
[btn addTarget:target action:selector forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchDown];
[btn setContentHorizontalAlignment:UIControlContentHorizontalAlignmentRight];
[btn setContentEdgeInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(0.0f,0.0f,0.0f,TEXT_MARGIN)];
[btn.titleLabel setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:#"Helvetica-Bold" size:FONT_SIZE]];
[btn.titleLabel setShadowOffset:CGSizeMake(0.0f,-1.0f)];
/**** this is the magic line ****/
btn.frame = CGRectMake(0.0f,0.0f,
[txt sizeWithFont:[btn.titleLabel font]].width+ARROW_MARGIN+TEXT_MARGIN,
IMAGE_HEIGHT);
[btn styleBarButtonForState:UIControlStateNormal withImage:img andText:txt];
[btn styleBarButtonForState:UIControlStateDisabled withImage:img andText:txt];
[btn styleBarButtonForState:UIControlStateHighlighted withImage:img andText:txt];
[btn styleBarButtonForState:UIControlStateSelected withImage:img andText:txt];
return [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:btn] autorelease];
}
usage:
[UIBarButtonItem arrowLeftWithText:#"Back" target:self action:#selector(dismiss)];
