How to add a right bar button to a navigation bar in iphone
Let assume, you have a UIViewController, like this:
UIViewController *vc = [UIViewController new];
And you added it to navigation controller:
UINavigationController *nc = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:vc];
In this way rightBarButtonItem will NOT getting displayed:
nc.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"xyz" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleDone target:self action:@selector(xyz)];
BUT this way IT WILL appear:
vc.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"xyz" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleDone target:self action:@selector(xyz)];
Use your own viewcontroller instead of the navigationcontroller to refer navigationItem.
-(void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
app.navigationController.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemAdd target:self action:@selector(Add:)] autorelease];
}
-(IBAction)Add:(id)sender
{
TAddNewJourney *j=[[TAddNewJourney alloc]init];
[app.navigationController pushViewController:j animated:YES];
[j release];
}
Try the other answers. I posted this answer so that it will work if your viewcontroller does not have a navigation controller which i think is the problem.
