why images not coming for UIBarButton item of navigation Bar - iphone

Question

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];

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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];
