I have a navigation controller in my app and on its root view controller i have an Edit button as the rightBarButtonItem.
I have a second table view which is pushed when a cell is tapped on the root view controller.
The leftBarButtonItem becomes the Back button.
I would like an Edit button as well, where can i put it that would make the most sense? My rightBarButtonItem is a + button, so that rules that out.
I would like to be able to tap a cell and change the cells text.
Thanks
The easiest thing to do is add a toolbar at the bottom that contains an edit button.
You could also try adding a bar button item with a custom view that contains two UIButtons and set it as the right bar button item of your view controller's navigation item. I haven't actually tried this, so I don't really know if or how well it would work.

There are 2 extra buttons on my storyboard tab view controller and I haven't connected anything yet. They only show up in run time and there is no code adding buttons to the tab bar controller.
Do you know where the buttons are coming from?
Delete the tab view controller then add a new one and redo the connections.
I am wanting to know how to pass buttons between two view controllers. As an example when you click "move" on one view controller the button will appear on another view controller. I am wanting to know the code to do this task. Thanks.
Perhaps just make an identical button of that button. When you click the "move" button the next screen will have the "move" button. Except this time it will have the functionality of your choice!
I am trying to put a toolbar directly beneath a navigation bar but I need the toolbar to not hide the content from the view directly beneath it. My quick solution was to set the navigation controller's native toolbar to visible, which works and properly resizes the view beneath it so that it doesn't let anything hide behind it, BUT the default toolbar shows at the bottom of the screen.
I need it to be at the top, just under the nav bar. I figure the easy solution would be to change the frame of the default toolbar (which I don't know how to do) OR to position a new instance of the toolbar onto the view (which works but it hides the content beneath it) but have it resize the views below.
Please see the following image that I found to see what I'm trying to do. (note how the tableview's first row starts UNDER the tab bar)
Thanks!!!
You are confusing two things. The NavigationController toolbar property IS the bottom bar, any toolbar that you add to a view has nothing to do with the nav controller but is a property of that view.
If you have your own toolbar at the top of a view you need to move the rest of the view content down or set that toolbar to translucent if thats what your looking for.
Again the nav controller toolbar is always the bottom bar, the toolbar you drop in IB is just a toolbar for that view that you can put anywhere.
I don't believe you can change the frame of the default toolbar. You will need to create your own instance of a toolbar, position it at the bottom of the navigation bar and resize your tableView to fit below.
We can't see how you have your views set up but if you are starting with a view that is subclassed as UITableViewController you will have trouble doing that. What you want is to start with a UIViewController as your master controller, add a tableview and toolbar as subviews. Then position and size them as appropriate.
If you are hiding and showing the toolbar you will create a method to move it up under the navigation controller and again resize the tableview.
How to put a view on the back button of navigation bar?
Not on title view, but on the back button. It seems like to me that the back button is a UIBarButtonItem, which doesn't inherite UIView.
You can do it programmatically using initWithCustomView.
AtomicElementViewController.m has a good example of this.
how can I have a back button and another button both on the left side of the nav bar?
Do you also need the title? If not, you can simply place the button in the center area. Otherwise, if you also need the title, you will need to create a UIView with a label and a button in it and set that as the center view. You will have to set the label's text manually if the title of the view ever changes.
Or, if you don't care too much about the back button, you can create a button that looks like the back button and put your other button next to it in a parent view that you use as the left view. You would have to manually handle going back when pressing the back button, and unless you got an image that looks like the back button, your button would not have the arrow shape.
