I'm trying to use this to add button to toolbar:
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
[self.navigationController setToolbarHidden:NO animated:NO];
self.navigationController.toolbar.translucent = YES;
self.navigationController.toolbar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlack;
UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
button.frame = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 10.0, 10.0);
UIBarButtonItem *infoButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:button];
NSMutableArray *a = [NSMutableArray arrayWithObject:infoButton];
[self.navigationController setToolbarItems:a];
}
But there is no button in toolbar when I started application! :(
Instead of setting the navigation controllers toolBarItems property try setting it in the currently displayed view controller like so:
[self setToolbarItems:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:infoButton, nil]];
Also adding infoButton to the toolBarItems will automatically retain it. So remember to place
[infoButton release];
at the bottom of your viewWillAppear method.

I have an UIToolbarwith 5 items:
UIBarButtonItem with image
UIBarButtonItem flex width
UIBarButtonItem with custom view (UISearchBar)
UIBarButtonItem flex width
UIBarButtonItem with image
When I select the UISearchBar, I get it to keep its correct size and become active. However, I would like the image to the left and to the right to disappear and give the UISearchBar the full width of the UIToolbar. How do I do that?
This is what I have:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3077127/demo_1.mov
And this is what I want:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3077127/demo_2.mov
This is my code:
#pragma mark View lifecycle
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[...]
SearchBar *mySearchBar = [[SearchBar alloc] init];
mySearchBar.delegate = self;
[mySearchBar sizeToFit];
[mySearchBar setAutocapitalizationType:UITextAutocapitalizationTypeNone];
[mySearchBar setTintColor:[UIHelpers getSlColor]];
CGRect searchBarFrame = mySearchBar.frame;
searchBarFrame.size.width = 218;
[mySearchBar setFrame:searchBarFrame];
UIView *searchBarContainer = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:mySearchBar.frame];
[searchBarContainer addSubview:mySearchBar];
[searchBarContainer setTag:99];
UIBarButtonItem *left = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"location-arrow"] style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:nil];
UIBarButtonItem *right = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"location-arrow"] style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:nil];
UIBarButtonItem *flex = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFixedSpace target:nil action:nil];
UIBarButtonItem *search = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:searchBarContainer];
NSArray *items = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:left, flex, search, flex, right, nil];
UIToolbar *toolbar = [[UIToolbar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 44)];
[toolbar setItems:items];
[toolbar setTintColor:[UIHelpers getSlColor]];
self.tableView.tableHeaderView = toolbar;
self.tableView.tableFooterView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectNull];
[...]
[super viewDidLoad];
}
#pragma mark -
Here is my answer to a similar question posted here
The key to a correct animation is to specify UIViewAnimationOptionLayoutSubviews as an option for the animation.
Not sure if you have tried this, but maybe you can use the UISearchBarDelegate methods to get notified when the user clicks on the search bar.
Example:
#pragma mark - UISearchBarDelegate Methods
- (BOOL)searchBarShouldBeginEditing:(UISearchBar *)searchBar {
// Remove the right and left buttons from the ToolBar
[self updateToolBarWithImages:NO];
}
- (BOOL)searchBarShouldEndEditing:(UISearchBar *)searchBar {
// Add back the right and left buttons to the ToolBar
[self updateToolBarWithImages:YES];
}
#pragma mark - Private Methods
// Custom method used to Update the ToolBar
- (void)updateToolBarWithImages:(BOOL)iShowImages {
// Logic to update ToolBar based on the BOOL value in showImages
// use "setItems:animated:" method of UIToolBar to set the ToolBar Items
[toolBar setItem:items animated:YES];
}
You shouldn't use a ToolBar for that.
Simply use a NavigationBar, with your 2 right and left ButtonItems, plus add to the NavigationBar's titleView a SearchBar with the appropriate delegates.
So you don't have to resize your NavigationBar. It's just about adding/removing the NavigationBar's right and left ButtonItems animated like so:
if (self.searchBar.isActive) {
[self.navigationItem setLeftBarButtonItem:nil animated:YES];
[self.navigationItem setRightBarButtonItem:nil animated:YES];
}
else {
[self.navigationItem setLeftBarButtonItem:self.leftButton animated:YES];
[self.navigationItem setRightBarButtonItem:self.rightButton animated:YES];
}
Hope this helps!
I want to have a back button when I go to another view controller but I have not been able to achieve this. I have tried to set the back button to not hidden with no luck. A little background information, there is no navigation controller being loaded when the app starts, I'am trying to go through one uiviewcontroller to another.
Here is how I have tried to achieve this, if anyone can tell what is wrong... it would be appreciated!
displayViewController *controller = [[displayViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"displayViewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *aNavController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:controller];
[self presentModalViewController:aNavController animated:YES];
[aNavController release];
[controller release];
You can put the back button in the viewController in which you want to have the back button
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
// back button
UIImage* image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"back.png"];
CGRect frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, image.size.width, image.size.height);
UIButton *backButton = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:frame];
[backButton setBackgroundImage:image forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[backButton addTarget:self action:#selector(backAction:) forControlEvents:UIControlStateHighlighted];
UIBarButtonItem* backButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:backButton];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = backButtonItem;
[backButtonItem release];
[backButton release];
}
-(void) backAction:(id)sender
{
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
I already read this question QLPreviewController remove or add UIBarButtonItems but it's not what I'm looking for. I would like to keep the "Print" button in the navigation Bar but also add a new "Delete Document" button in the navigation bar.
I tried this:
QLPreviewController *previewer = [[[QLPreviewController alloc] init] autorelease];
[previewer setDataSource:self];
UIBarButtonItem *saveButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithTitle:#"Salva Documento" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:#selector(saveFileToDocuments)];
NSArray *buttons = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:[[previewer navigationItem]rightBarButtonItem],saveButton, nil];
[[previewer navigationItem]setRightBarButtonItems:buttons];
But it didn't work.
Because you said "4.x will be fine", there's your problem.
The documentation for UINavigationItem [setRightBarButtonItems: animated:] (documentatin linked there for you) say that this function only works on iOS 5.0 and newer.
It will not work on iOS 4.0.
Also, you should add an animated: parameter to that setRightBarButtonItems: call.
UIBarButtonItem *rbb;
-(void)addRightButton{
if (!rbb) {
UIButton *orderButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
orderButton.frame = CGRectZero;
rbb = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:orderButton];
}
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = rbb;
}
- (void)viewDidLoad{
[super viewDidLoad];
[self performSelector:#selector(addRightButton) withObject:nil afterDelay:0.2];
}
-(void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated{
[super viewDidAppear:animated];
[self addRightButton];
}
I have customized the UINavigationBar's height to 100px and I'd like to add buttons onto this customized bar.
All is good except the button seems to want to sit on the bottom of the nav bar no matter what. I can't get it to align to the center or the top of the nav bar.
Here is the code; first I create a navigation controller in the app delegate and add one button on the right.
// set main navigation controller
temp *tempc = [[temp alloc] initWithNibName:#"temp" bundle:nil];
self.navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:tempc];
UIBarButtonItem *navItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemAdd target:nil action:nil];
[tempc.navigationItem setRightBarButtonItem:navItem];
[self.window addSubview:self.navigationController.view];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
then I resize the navigation bar in the "temp" view controller like so:
- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewDidAppear:animated];
CGRect frame = CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, 320.0f, 100.0f);
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setFrame:frame];
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setAutoresizingMask:UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleBottomMargin];
}
I've also tried to add a custom view to the rightBarButtonItem but I can't get the added custom view to touch the top completely.
And the code for this unfortunate attempt:
// set main navigation controller
temp *tempc = [[temp alloc] initWithNibName:#"temp" bundle:nil];
self.navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:tempc];
UIView *customView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 36.0f, 80.0f)];
[customView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blueColor]];
UIButton *customButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
[customButton setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 22.0f, 36.0f, 36.0f)];
[customButton setTitle:#"+" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[customView addSubview:customButton];
UIBarButtonItem *customItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:customView];
Does anyone know how to vertically align UIBarButtonItems on a UINavigationBar?
This will move page title and all buttons up 20 px:
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleVerticalPositionAdjustment:-20.0 forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
[[UIBarButtonItem appearance] setBackgroundVerticalPositionAdjustment:-20.0 forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
The current accepted answer from alhcr (Option 1) does not work if you only have a rightBarButtonItem and no left. It is also making an assumption about the subview ordering of the UINavigationBar which is not guaranteed and could very well change in a future version of iOS. Here is a better way of customizing navigation button frames:
// UINavigationBar subclass
- (void)layoutSubviews {
[super layoutSubviews];
UINavigationItem *navigationItem = [self topItem];
for (UIView *subview in [self subviews]) {
if (subview == [[navigationItem rightBarButtonItem] customView]) {
CGRect newRightButtonRect = CGRectMake(...new rect...);
[subview setFrame:newRightButtonRect];
}
else if (subview == [[navigationItem backBarButtonItem] customView]) {
CGRect newBackButtonRect = CGRectMake(...new rect...);
[subview setFrame:newBackButtonRect];
}
}
}
Option 1:
create UINavigationBar subclass
inside this class override - (void)layoutSubviews where you will reposition UIBarButtonItems
in Interface Builder set UINavigationBar class to UINavigationBar subclass
Example:
inside subclass of UINavigationBar:
- (void)layoutSubviews {
int index = 0;
for ( UIButton *button in [self subviews] ) {
if(index == 1) {
[button setFrame:CGRectMake(5,40,60,40)]; //leftBarButtonItem
} else if(index == 2) {
[button setFrame:CGRectMake(275,40,40,40)]; //rightBarButtonItem
}
++index;
}
}
view controller:
- (void)viewDidLoad {
...
UIBarButtonItem *navItem1 = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemAdd target:nil action:nil];
UIBarButtonItem *navItem2 = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemCancel target:nil action:nil];
[self.navigationItem setRightBarButtonItem:navItem1];
[self.navigationItem setLeftBarButtonItem:navItem2];
CGRect frame = CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, 320.0f, 100.0f);
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setFrame:frame];
...
}
Option 2 (inserting UIBarButtonItem doesn't work):
UINavigationBar *navigationBar = [[UINavigationBar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,320,100)];
[self.view addSubview:navigationBar];
UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
[button setFrame:CGRectMake(0,25,50,50)];
[navigationBar addSubview:button];
I found the solution of this problem by making adjustment in the Image Edge Insets of the custom button. I had the requirement in the app to increase the height of the navigation bar and after increasing the height makes the rightBarButtonItem and leftBarButtonItem images unpositioned problem.
Find the code below:-
UIImage *image = [[UIImage imageNamed:#"searchbar.png"];
UIButton* searchbutton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[searchbutton addTarget:self action:#selector(searchBar:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
searchbutton.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,22, 22);
[searchbutton setImage:image forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[searchbutton setImageEdgeInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(-50, 0,50, 0)];
// Make BarButton Item
UIBarButtonItem *navItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:searchbutton];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = navItem;
Hi I need to set the button on right side, in navigation bar, programatically , so that if I press the button I will perform some actions. I have created the navigation bar, programatically by;
navBar=[[UINavigationBar alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,320,44) ];
Similarly, I need to add the button, on the right side of this navigation bar. For that I used,
1.
UIView* container = [[UIView alloc] init];
// create a button and add it to the container
UIButton* button = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 130, 44.01)];
[container addSubview:button];
[button release];
// add another button
button = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(160, 0, 50, 44.01)];
[container addSubview:button];
[button release];
// now create a Bar button item
UIBarButtonItem* item = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:container];
// set the nav bar's right button item
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = item;
[item release];
2.
UIImage *im;
im=[UIImage imageNamed:#"back.png"];
[button setImage:im forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[im release];
backButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:button];
[backButton setImageInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, -10,5, 5)];
[self.navigationItem setRightBarButtonItem:backButton];
3.
UIBarButtonItem *refreshItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"button" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:#selector(refreshLogsAction:)];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = refreshItem;
[refreshItem release];
I tried all these ways, but none is displaying the button on the right hand side.
Inside my UIViewController derived class, I am using the following inside viewDidLoad:
UIBarButtonItem *flipButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithTitle:#"Flip"
style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered
target:self
action:#selector(flipView:)];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = flipButton;
[flipButton release];
This adds a button to the right hand side with the title Flip, which calls the method:
-(IBAction)flipView
This looks very much like you #3, but it is working within my code.
UIImage* image3 = [UIImage imageNamed:#"back_button.png"];
CGRect frameimg = CGRectMake(15,5, 25,25);
UIButton *someButton = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:frameimg];
[someButton setBackgroundImage:image3 forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[someButton addTarget:self action:#selector(Back_btn:)
forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[someButton setShowsTouchWhenHighlighted:YES];
UIBarButtonItem *mailbutton =[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:someButton];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem =mailbutton;
[someButton release];
///// called event
-(IBAction)Back_btn:(id)sender
{
//Your code here
}
SWIFT:
var image3 = UIImage(named: "back_button.png")
var frameimg = CGRect(x: 15, y: 5, width: 25, height: 25)
var someButton = UIButton(frame: frameimg)
someButton.setBackgroundImage(image3, for: .normal)
someButton.addTarget(self, action: Selector("Back_btn:"), for: .touchUpInside)
someButton.showsTouchWhenHighlighted = true
var mailbutton = UIBarButtonItem(customView: someButton)
navigationItem?.leftBarButtonItem = mailbutton
func back_btn(_ sender: Any) {
//Your code here
}
To add search button on navigation bar use this code:
UIBarButtonItem *searchButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemSearch target:self action:#selector(toggleSearch:)];
self.navigationController.navigationBar.topItem.rightBarButtonItem = searchButton;
and implement following method:
- (IBAction)toggleSearch:(id)sender
{
// do something or handle Search Button Action.
}
How to add an add button to the navbar in swift:
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(barButtonSystemItem: .Add, target: self, action: "onAdd:")
onAdd:
func onAdd(sender: AnyObject) {
}
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem=[[[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithTitle:#"Save" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:#selector(saveAction:)]autorelease];
-(void)saveAction:(UIBarButtonItem *)sender{
//perform your action
}
Swift version, add this in viewDidLoad:
var doneButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Done", style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.Plain, target: self, action: "doneButton:")
navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = doneButton
And this in your View Controller class
func doneButton(sender: UIBarButtonItem) {
println(111)
}
Use following code:
UIBarButtonItem *customBtn=[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Custom" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:#selector(customBtnPressed)];
[self.navigationItem setRightBarButtonItem:customBtn];
Simple use native editBarButton like this
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = self.editButtonItem;
[self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem setAction:#selector(editBarBtnPressed)];
and then
- (void)editBarBtnPressed {
if ([infoTable isEditing]) {
[self.editButtonItem setTitle:#"Edit"];
[infoTable setEditing:NO animated:YES];
}
else {
[self.editButtonItem setTitle:#"Done"];
[infoTable setEditing:YES animated:YES];
}
}
Have fun...!!!
In ViewDidLoad method of ViewController.m
UIBarButtonItem *cancel = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Cancel" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:#selector(back)];
[self.navigationItem setLeftBarButtonItem:cancel];
"(back)" selector is a method to dissmiss the current ViewController
Try this.It work for me.
Add button to navigation bar programmatically, Also we set image to navigation bar button,
Below is Code:-
UIBarButtonItem *Savebtn=[[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithImage:
[[UIImage imageNamed:#"bt_save.png"]imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal]
style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:#selector(SaveButtonClicked)];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem=Savebtn;
-(void)SaveButtonClicked
{
// Add save button code.
}
If you are not looking for a BarButtonItem but simple button on navigationBar then below code works:
UIButton *aButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[aButton setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"NavBar.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[aButton addTarget:self
action:#selector(showButtonView:)
forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
aButton.frame = CGRectMake(260.0, 10.0, 30.0, 30.0);
[self.navigationController.navigationBar addSubview:aButton];
Hello everyone !! I created the solution to the issue at hand where Two UIInterface orientations are wanted using the UIIMagePicker.. In my ViewController where I handle the segue to the UIImagePickerController
**I use a..
-(void) editButtonPressed:(id)sender {
BOOL editPressed = YES;
NSUserDefaults *boolDefaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
[boolDefaults setBool:editPressed forKey:#"boolKey"];
[boolDefaults synchronize];
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:#"photoSegue" sender:nil];
}
**
Then in the AppDelegate Class I do the following.
- (NSUInteger)application:(UIApplication *)application supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow:(UIWindow *)window {
BOOL appDelBool;
NSUserDefaults *boolDefaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
appDelBool = [boolDefaults boolForKey:#"boolKey"];
if (appDelBool == YES)
return (UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait);
else
return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscapeLeft;
}
