How do you add more than one UIBarButton on UINavigationItem.rightBarButtonItem (or leftBarButtonItem)?
(8 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
Ok, so I've successfully added a rightBarButtonItem to call a custom selector (called from a UIViewController), as follows:
UIButton* infoButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeInfoLight];
[infoButton addTarget:self action:#selector(showInfoView:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:infoButton];
Is it possible to make the "right bar button item" actually be several distinct buttons (and thus remove the title text from the navigation bar)?
I'm searching for ways to get more screen real estate, and this seems like a logical choice... although any other suggestions would be appreciated (maybe i should reduce the size of the tab bar i use at the bottom...)
UIBarButtonItem *addAcc = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithTitle:#"Add"
style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain
target:self
action:#selector(addNewAcc)];
UIBarButtonItem *delAcc = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithTitle:#"Del"
style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain
target:self
action:#selector(DeleteButtonAction)];
NSArray *arrBtns = [[NSArray alloc]initWithObjects:addAcc,delAcc, nil];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItems = arrBtns;
Well, you could use a UISegmentedControl with the bar style. Or you could add a generic UIView and add whatever buttons you want.

I have been trying to subclass the UINavigationController class for modifying things like background image, navigation bar size, back button, tittle font and so on.
After a couple of hours and a lot of reading I have understand that I should not subclass the UINavigationController class...
I would like to have specific design and transfer that design to all screens that use my custom NavigationController...
SO far I haven't fount any elegant solution for this, most of the solutions are based on configuring something for showing in the next screen only (next view).
How can I achieve this? Maybe using categories?
Thanks in advance.
I am showing code for custom leftbarbutton of UINavigationcontroller. You can add this code in each view controller and for both button( right and left)
leftButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[leftButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"Yourcutomeimage.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
leftButton.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 30, 30);
[leftButton addTarget:self action:#selector(youraction:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:leftButton]autorelease];
//or
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:leftButton]autorelease];
Hope, this will help you..
Yes #Nit is right, this is the way to customize the UINavigationController, but if you don't want to do it for every UIViewController you have, you can create a UIViewControllerBase class, which is a subclass of UIViewController and in viewDidLoad method, set all your buttons the way #Nit has described and then make every UIViewController you have to be a subclass of your UIViewControllerBase class.
If you want to add a custom back button to uinavigationcontroller you should use navigationItem.backBarButtonItem and implement it in the class where you initialize the uinavigationcontroller.
Sample :-
UIBarButtonItem *backButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"btnImage.png" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:youtarget action:#sel(your action)];
self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = backButton; [backButton release];
I have outlined my solution in this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/16831482/171933
Basically, you create a category on UIViewController and call one single method in every viewWillAppear method of your view controllers.
I want to highlight UIBarButton when touched is it possible if so please help me.
UIBarButtonItem *leftBarButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemRefresh target:self action:#selector(refreshAction)];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = leftBarButton;
[leftBarButton release];
Thank You

Highlighting when touched is the behaviour of UIButton. It has a propery showsTouchWhenHighlighted, when set to YES shows white flash when touched. So, you can't make UIBarButtonItem behave it like that.
You can create a UIButton, enable showsTouchWhenHighlighted, and add it to a UIBarButtonItem.
UIButton *btn;
// Create and configure the UIButton
btn.showsTouchWhenHighlighted = YES;
UIBarButtonItem *barBtn = [UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:btn];
// Configure and add the UIBarButtonItem
see this,
Apple documentation
UIBarButtonItemStylePlain
Glows when tapped. The default item style.
Available in iOS 2.0 and later.
Declared in UIBarButtonItem.h
it may helps you.
i am trying to implement an action sheet that contains a picker view and a segmented control bar with a previous button, next button and done button like the image as follows http://imgur.com/8wVMy. I currently am able to make it look like this http://imgur.com/AXn6H. I was wondering if someone could help me get the picker view to sit on the bottom and just make it look a little better. Thanks for any help.
Unless you're targeting very old versions of iOS (i.e. versions earlier than 3.2), the best way to do it is to take a completely different approach.
As of 3.2, any UIResponder (which includes all UIViews) can return a UIView from its inputView property to show that view instead of the keyboard when the view becomes the first responder. This even works for views that normally don't become first responder or don't display the keyboard at all. It's simple:
Design your popup view, as you would any other view.
Ensure that your widget view returns YES from canBecomeFirstResponder.
Ensure that your widget view returns an instance of your popup view from inputView.
More details are available in the documentation.
Also, BTW, if you're on an iPad you should probably use a UIPopoverController to display a UIPickerView instead of either of these methods. Apple may actually require this if you intend to get your app in the app store.
The next and previous buttons are actually showing your images to segmentedController Within a toolbar. To get it You have to define the segmentedController and UIToolbar on. H. Next add the DataSource and UIPickerView
Then in the viewDidLoad create objects and define Their properties. For example:
if (keyboardToolbar == nil) {
keyboardToolbar = [[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.bounds.size.width, 44)];
[keyboardToolbar setBarStyle:UIBarStyleBlackTranslucent];
segControl = [[UISegmentedControl alloc] initWithItems:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"Anterior", #"Siguiente", nil]];
[segControl setSegmentedControlStyle:UISegmentedControlStyleBar];
[segControl setTintColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
segControl.frame = CGRectMake(5, 7, 150, 33);
segControl.momentary = YES;
[segControl addTarget:self action:#selector(segSelected:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
UIBarButtonItem *extraSpace = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace target:nil action:nil];
UIBarButtonItem *aceptar = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Hecho" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleDone target:self action:#selector(cerrarTeclado:)];
//aceptar.width = 70.0f;
[keyboardToolbar setItems:[[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects: extraSpace, aceptar, nil]];
[keyboardToolbar addSubview:segControl];
}
i have a problem while adding button to the navigation bar.. My application consist of two view controllers added to the viewControllers array of a tabBarController. Inturn this tabBarController is added to the viewControllers array of a navigationController. In one of the views i have a textfield for entering dates . On the tap of this textfield the datepicker will pop up. simultaneously i want to display a done button on the navigation bar. how can i do this... i tried using
self.tabBarController.navigationController.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = self.doneButton;
But this is not working...
Pls help me out..
Try this code,
UIBarButtonItem *addButton = [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:NSLocalizedString(#"Done", #"")
style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered
target:self
action:#selector(DoneButton)] autorelease];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = addButton;
Best of luck.
Try with this
UIBarButtonItem* _doneButton;
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = _doneButton;
use this one:
UIButton *myBtn = [[UIButton alloc]init];
[self.navigationItem.titleView addSubview:myBtn];
I need to change color on the default "self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem". To accomplish this I´ve created an custom Button class and implemented it like this:
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
BackButton *blueSaveButton = [[BackButton alloc] init];
UIBarButtonItem *temporaryBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:blueSaveButton];
temporaryBarButtonItem.title = #"Tillbaka";
self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = temporaryBarButtonItem;
[temporaryBarButtonItem release];
[blueSaveButton release];
[self gotoLocation];
}
But this has no effect at all on the button.
So how do you manage to do this without "breaking" the default/inherited behavior of the navigationbar?
EDIT: The reason is that the button needs to be corporate branded, so default styles will not do.

If you want the button to be blue (like a Done button) and have the title "Save" you can use one of the built in bar button item types:
UIBarButtonItem *item = [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemSave target:self action:#selector(myAction:)] autorelease];
Ok found the solution (not so good but it works) do this:
1: Implement the button from this tutorial: www.switchonthecode.com
This will override the default behavior of navigationbar.
2: Implement this in every view that needs the custom button:
