I am trying to add button on MPMoviePlayerViewController's navigationcontroller.view. I have wrote following so far. It doesn't give any error but button isn't appearing on view! Could anyone please tell me what am I doing wrong? Thanks.
MPMoviePlayerViewController *videoController = [[[MPMoviePlayerViewController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL URLWithString:filePath]] autorelease];
UIButton *favButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
favButton.frame = CGRectMake(280, 25, 30, 30);
[favButton addTarget:self action:#selector(favouriteButtonClicked:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[favButton setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"unselected.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[videoController.navigationController.view addSubview:favButton];
[self presentMoviePlayerViewControllerAnimated:videoController];
- (void)favouriteButtonClicked:(id)sender
{
NSLog(#"Inside favourite button clicked");
}
Also try adding using following code but no luck!
UIBarButtonItem *button = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemAdd target:self action:#selector(favouriteButtonClicked:)];
videoController.navigationController.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem=button;
[button release];
UIBarButtonItem *button = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemAdd target:self action:#selector(favouriteButtonClicked:)];
videoController.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = button;
[button release];
If you use presentModalViewController, you can not see the button you add. You have to [self.navigationController pushViewController:moviePlayer animated:YES] to see it.
Try this..it will work
[[[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow] addSubview:favButton];

In my application there are many UIViewControllers with UINavigationControllers. There must be a "back" button and a "home" UIButton on the UINavigationBar. All of this works fine.
But some of my UIViewControllers have long names, and sometimes there is too small place left for it. I'm trying to replace the original label of the "back" button (it shows the title of the previous view) with a custom "Back", but whatever I tried it didn't work:
// Title didn't change
[self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem setTitle:#"Back"];
// Action didn't set, no response from button ( button didn't do anything )
[self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem
setAction:self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem.action];
And I need the "back" button to have a style like in this question: Draw custom Back button on iPhone Navigation Bar
Try the following. It will definitely work:
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
UIImage *buttonImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"back.png"];
UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[button setImage:buttonImage forState:UIControlStateNormal];
button.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, buttonImage.size.width, buttonImage.size.height);
[button addTarget:self action:#selector(back) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
UIBarButtonItem *customBarItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:button];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = customBarItem;
[customBarItem release];
}
- (void)back {
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
Make sure you have an button image with the size of a navigation bar back button in your resource folder with name back.png.
Feel free if any other assistance is required.
Target:
customizing all back button on UINavigationBar to an white icon
Steps:
1. in "didFinishLaunchingWithOptions" method of AppDelete：
UIImage *backBtnIcon = [UIImage imageNamed:#"navBackBtn"];
if (SYSTEM_VERSION_GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO(#"7.0")) {
[UINavigationBar appearance].tintColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
[UINavigationBar appearance].backIndicatorImage = backBtnIcon;
[UINavigationBar appearance].backIndicatorTransitionMaskImage = backBtnIcon;
}else{
UIImage *backButtonImage = [backBtnIcon resizableImageWithCapInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, backBtnIcon.size.width - 1, 0, 0)];
[[UIBarButtonItem appearance] setBackButtonBackgroundImage:backButtonImage forState:UIControlStateNormal barMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
[[UIBarButtonItem appearance] setBackButtonTitlePositionAdjustment:UIOffsetMake(0, -backButtonImage.size.height*2) forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
}
2.in the "viewDidLoad" method of the common super ViewController class:
if (SYSTEM_VERSION_GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO(#"7.0")) {
UIBarButtonItem *backItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#""
style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain
target:nil
action:nil];
[self.navigationItem setBackBarButtonItem:backItem];
}else{
//do nothing
}
Try this
UIBarButtonItem *backBarBtnItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Back" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:#selector(popViewController)];
[self.navigationItem setBackBarButtonItem:backBarBtnItem];
- (void)popViewController
{
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
If you're doing this all over the place like I am, you're better off implementing Anil's solution as a category:
#interface UIViewController (CustomBackButton)
- (void) setCustomBackButton;
- (void) back;
#end
#implementation UIViewController (CustomBackButton)
- (void) setCustomBackButton
{
UIImage *buttonImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"back.png"];
UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[button setImage:buttonImage forState:UIControlStateNormal];
button.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, buttonImage.size.width, buttonImage.size.height);
[button addTarget:self action:#selector(back) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
UIBarButtonItem *customBarItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:button];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = customBarItem;
}
- (void) back
{
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
#end
More simply:
UIBarButtonItem *barBtnItem =
[[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithTitle:#"Indietro"
style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered
target:self
action:#selector(pop)];
[barBtnItem setTintColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = barBtnItem;
Suppose you have two controllers - Controller1 and Controller2. Controller2 is pushed from Controller1. So before pushing the Controller2 on the navigationController from Controller1
Controller2 *controller2 = [[[Controller2 alloc] init]autorelease];
self.navigationItem.hidesBackButton = YES;
Now, in the viewDidLoad: method of Controller2, add the following snippet
UIBarButtonItem *backBarButtonItem =[[[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithTitle:#"Back" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:#selector(goBackToAllPets:)]autorelease];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = backBarButtonItem;
and in the backButtonClicked method, you can perform the checks you want to.
Here is my code. This is adding image but images are being appeared in navigation bar.
UIToolbar* toolbartop = [[UIToolbar alloc]
initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 45)];
[toolbar setBarStyle: UIBarStyleBlackOpaque];
// create an array for the buttons
NSMutableArray* buttonstop = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:5];
UIBarButtonItem *remainderButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"home.png"]
style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain
target:self
action:#selector(LoadOption:)];
[buttonstop addObject:remainderButton];
[remainderButton release];
UIBarButtonItem *faveButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"home.png"]
style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain
target:self
action:#selector(homeAction)];
[buttonstop addObject:faveButton];
[faveButton release];
// put the buttons in the toolbar and release them
[toolbartop setItems:buttonstop animated:NO];
[buttonstop release];
// place the toolbar into the navigation bar
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:toolbartop];
But this code is showing image in navigation right bar.
UIBarButtonItem *settingButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"home.png"]
style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain
target:self
action:#selector(homeAction)];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = settingButton;
Why left navigation bar button is not showing images?
[toolbartop release];
You can add the image to your left BarButtonItem as follows:
UIButton *button1 = [[UIButton alloc] init];
button1.frame=CGRectMake(0,0,105,30);
[button1 setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed: #"image1.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[button1 addTarget:appDelegate action:#selector(Open_Link1) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
UIButton *button2 = [[UIButton alloc] init];
button2.frame=CGRectMake(105,0,105,30);
[button2 setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed: #"image2.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[button2 addTarget:appDelegate action:#selector(Open_Link2) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
UIView *viewButtons = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 210, 30)];
[viewButtons addSubview:button1];
[viewButtons addSubview:button2];
[button1 release];
[button2 release];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithCustomView:viewButtons];
[viewButtons release];
Here please make sure that the methods "Open_Link1" and "Open_Link2" must exists in the code as follows:
-(void)Open_Link1
{
// Write your logic
}
-(void)Open_Link2
{
// Write your logic
}
Let me know if you want more help.
The left bar button item is automatically used by the framework for showing a "Back" button. You can't put anything here, at least not when your navigation bar is managed by a UINavigationController. For this to work you have to handle the UINavigationBar yourself.
Edit:
in your leftBarButtonItem, try putting a UISegmentedControl instead of a UIToolbar for toolbartop.
You are adding a button to toolbar but you aren't adding your toolbar to any view. Try to set the button directly using
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:buttonStop];
I have one navigation based application in which i want to hide the default navigation
which is display at left side and i want to add my own custom button.I have written following 2 code.
code sample 1:
- (void)viewDidLoad {
appDelegate=[(FoodAppDelegate *)[UIApplication sharedApplication]delegate];
UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[button setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"Volunteers_back.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[button addTarget:self action:#selector(back:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[button setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 86, 30)];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:button];
But this displays default navigation button.
second code sample:
self.navigationItem.hidesBackButton=YES;
UIBarButtonItem *barButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"DontWorryAboutThis" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:#selector(back:)];
[barButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"Volunteers_back.png"]];
[self.navigationItem setLeftBarButtonItem:barButton];
This one displays both button default and custom overlapping each other.
Does anyone have any idea what is the problem here?or any sample code to achieve this?
You shouldn't have to hide the back button. If you replace the leftBarButtonItem, it should overwrite whatever button is there. I use this code, and ONLY this code to accomplish this in several of my apps.
UIBarButtonItem *btnCancel =
[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle: #"Cancel"
style: UIBarButtonItemStylePlain
target: self
action: #selector(actionButtonCancel)];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = btnCancel;
[btnCancel release];
I am adding image in BackBarButtonItem of navigation bar, image gets in button but image is not scale to fill what would be the issue.
Here is the code i am using and it displays in following way.
UIImage *backImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"back.png"];
UIBarButtonItem *newBackButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:backImage style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:#selector(backAction)];
[self.navigationItem setBackBarButtonItem: newBackButton];
[newBackButton release];
[backImage release];
Actually it should look like, below image.
Thanks!
[self.navigationItem setHidesBackButton:YES];
[self.navigationItem setLeftBarButtonItem:newBackButton];
Try this :)!
problem is your image size.check it!
You can also use
//custom back button
button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[button setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"back.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[button addTarget:self action:#selector(backButtonClicked) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[button setFrame:CGRectMake(-2, 0, 52, 30)];
UIBarButtonItem *btnItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:button];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = btnItem;
[btnItem release];
}
I'm trying to implement UINavigationBar with custom controls. So, I've added UIView on left side of UINavigationBar and trying to add controls to that UIView with following code:
UIView *view = navigationController.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem.customView;
UIButton *button = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:view.frame];
[button setTitle:#"TEST" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[view addSubview:button];
[button sizeToFit];
[button release];
Code works, but button doesn't appear.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
UPD
OK, I gave a try to code below and made such thing:
UIButton *button = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 40, 50)];
[button setTitle:#"XXX" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
UIBarButtonItem *customItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:button];
navigationController.visibleViewController.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = customItem;
[customItem release];
[button release];
The "XXX" title did appear, but it looks like simple label, not button. Any ideas?
Yes, your UIButton doesn't come with any shading. What I've done is used a UISegmentedControl to get shading for free:
// Add the Menu button to the navigation bar
NSString* menuLabel = "ShadeButton";
CGSize textSize = [menuLabel sizeWithFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:15.0]];
UISegmentedControl* menuSegmentedButton = [[UISegmentedControl alloc]
initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, textSize.width, 29.0f)];
menuSegmentedButton.momentary = YES;
menuSegmentedButton.selected = NO;
menuSegmentedButton.segmentedControlStyle = UISegmentedControlStyleBar;
[menuSegmentedButton insertSegmentWithTitle:menuLabel atIndex:0
animated:NO];
[menuSegmentedButton addTarget:self action:#selector(doMenu)
forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
UIBarButtonItem* barButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithCustomView:menuSegmentedButton];
[menuSegmentedButton release];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = barButton;
Create your UIBarButtonItem with the UISegmentedControl as shown above rather than a UIButton and you should get the effect you're after. The alternative is to do more work on the button and create a texture/custom image for it yourself.
Note quite right.
If you just want a different title:
UIBarButtonItem *customItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"TEST" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:nil action:nil];
navigationController.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = customItem;
[customItem release];
If you really want a custom view:
// Create Custom View called myView.
UIBarButtonItem *customItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:myView];
navigationController.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = customItem;
[customItem release];
