I see that a similar question was asked here: How to add a right button to a UINavigationController? (among others) but its not quite what I'm looking to do and they arent solving my problem.
Essentially, I've created a UIViewController called WebViewViewController with a UIWebView on it which will be shown using presentModalViewController. Essentially its a mini web browser to display a web page while keeping the user in the app rather than launching Safari.
The viewController does the following to get it to show... and the "done" button is meant to provide a place to close the browser.
-(IBAction)visitFacebook {
WebViewViewController *rootController = [[WebViewViewController alloc] init];
rootController.webURL = #"http://www.facebook.com/";
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:rootController];
UIBarButtonItem *doneButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc ] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemCancel target:self action:#selector(done:)];
[navigationController.navigationItem setRightBarButtonItem:doneButton animated:YES];
[navigationController.navigationItem setTitle:#"Facebook"];
if (rootController) {
[self presentModalViewController:navigationController animated:YES];
}
[doneButton release];
[rootController release];
}
Unfortunately the "done" button isnt showing.. any ideas where im going wrong?
Try with below
-(IBAction)visitFacebook{
WebViewViewController *rootController = [[WebViewViewController alloc] init];
rootController.webURL = #"http://www.facebook.com/";
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:rootController];
UIBarButtonItem *doneButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc ] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemCancel target:self action:#selector(done:)];
rootController.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = anotherButton;
[navigationController.navigationItem setTitle:#"Facebook"];
if (rootController) {
[self presentModalViewController:navigationController animated:YES];
}
[doneButton release];
[rootController release];
}
Perhaps you're looking for something more like this:
UIBarButtonItem *doneButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Done"
style:UIBarButtonItemStyleDone target:self
action:#selector(dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:)];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Done"
style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:#selector(done:)];
Just this one line code displayed done button for me.

I have created button for home like this:
UIBarButtonItem * addButton=[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Home" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:#selector(GoToHome:)];
[navItem setLeftBarButtonItem:addButton];
GoToHome function has only one line i.e:
[self.navigationController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:YES];
but when i click the Home button it shows no action (not working)
try this inside your GoToHome method
[self.parentViewController.parentViewController.parentViewController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
have you connected the button code with the IB button? that can happen a lot and with everyone..!!
Try this,
UIBarButtonItem *addButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Home" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:#selector(GotoTopScreen)];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = addButton;
-(void)GotoTopScreen{
[self.navigationController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
The best way to create a navigation controller is to create it in appDelegate and access it as appDelegate.navigationController. Then those nil object issues do not come.
Use this method:
UIBarButtonItem *flipButtons = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Back"
style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self
action:#selector(GotoTopScreen)];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = flipButtons;
[flipButtons release];
-(void)GotoTopScreen
{
[self.navigationController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
I can't make my UIBarButtonItem to display. I simplified it as much as I could, but even this does not display the bar :
- (void)viewDidLoad {
UIBarButtonItem *supprBouton =[[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithTitle:#"Supprimer"
style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered
target:self
action:#selector(supprimerDate:)];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = supprBouton;
UIBarButtonItem *enregBouton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithTitle:#"Enregistrer"
style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered
target:self
action:#selector(enregFichier:)];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = enregBouton;
[enregBouton release];
[supprBouton release];
}
One right button, one left, this should be displayed at least, no ? What can be wrong ?
Without more context, my best guess is that you have not yet set up a UINavigationController.
Try to add a uinavigationcontroller to your view:
UIViewController *vc = [[UIViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *navCntrl1 = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:vc];
I'm trying to add a button to a modal view controller so it can be dismised but the button is not displaying. Any help would be appreciated.
Here is the code:
UIViewController* webView = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController* modalViewController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:webView];
[webView release];
UIBarButtonItem *doneButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemDone target:self action:#selector(hideModalView)];
modalViewController.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = doneButton;
[doneButton release];
[globalNavController presentModalViewController:modalViewController animated:YES];
You should do it like this.
webView.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = doneButton;
Try to add the doneButton to your UIViewController, then you should be fine.
Maybe you should change webView to webViewController, a better name.
Here in my application i created a leftbarbuttonitem programatically in viewWillAppear methos, i have two click twice to work this, my code is as follows.
Code for creating UIBarButtonItem(left bar button)
goingBackButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] init];
goingBackButton.title = #"Back";
goingBackButton.target = self;
goingBackButton.action = #selector(backAction);
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = goingBackButton;
[goingBackButton release];
Action code
- (IBAction) backAction {
NSLog(#"Inside the backAction of uploadViewController");
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
NSLog(#"Inside the backAction1 of uploadViewController");
}
Try the below code:
UIBarButtonItem *bar = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithTitle:#"back" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleDone target:nil action:#selector(back)];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = bar;
[bar release];
-(void)back
{
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
This doesn't seem to be working. What am i doing wrong?
-(void)awakeFromNib{
UIBarButtonItem *rightBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemAdd target:self action:#selector(showNewEventViewController)];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = rightBarButtonItem;
NSLog(#"awaked");
[rightBarButtonItem release];
}
my guess is, that you add the UIBarButtonItem to the wrong object!
you need to add it, to the rootViewController (instead to the UINavigationController, as you probably did)
YourRootViewController *theRootController = [[YourRootViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController* navContainer = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:theRootController];
UIBarButtonItem *btnCancel = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Cancel" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:#selector(dismiss)];
theRootController.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = btnCancel
[navContainer setModalTransitionStyle:UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve];
[self presentModalViewController:navContainer animated:YES];
I would normally put this code in the viewDidLoad method rather than the awakeFromNib method; I'm not sure if that's where your problem lies. What does "not working" mean?
Try this instead:
- (void) initUI {
UIBarButtonItem *btnCancel = [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Cancel"
style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered
target:self
action:#selector(dismiss)]autorelease];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = btnCancel;
//[btnCancel release]; no need to explicitly release the item
}
