I'm trying for hours to make a left button work properly and mimic a back button.
My code to create the button:
UIBarButtonItem *backButton = [self customBarButton:@"back_button" imageHiglighted:@"settings_button_highlighted" x:20 y:0 widthDivider:2.6 heightDivider:2.6];
backButton.target = self;
backButton.action = @selector(buttonPressed:);
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = backButton;
Here the method called to create custom button:
- (UIBarButtonItem *)customBarButton:(NSString *)imageDefault imageHiglighted:(NSString *)imageHighlighted x:(float)x y:(float)y widthDivider:(float)widthDivider heightDivider:(float)heightDivider {
UIImage *customImageDefault = [UIImage imageNamed:imageDefault];
UIImage *customImageHighlighted = [UIImage imageNamed:imageHighlighted];
CGRect frameCustomButton = CGRectMake(x, y, customImageDefault.size.width/widthDivider, customImageDefault.size.height/heightDivider);
UIButton *customButton = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:frameCustomButton];
[customButton setBackgroundImage:customImageDefault forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[customButton setBackgroundImage:customImageHighlighted forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];
UIBarButtonItem *barCustomButton =[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:customButton];
return barCustomButton;
}
And the action:
-(void)buttonPressed:(id) sender{
NSLog(@"Entered");
SearchViewController *ViewController = [[SearchViewController alloc] init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:ViewController animated:YES];
}
So I was able to make it with a simple UIButton but not with a UIButtonBarItem and I really don't know what's going on with it.
If you could help me I'd be very grateful.
Thanks.
Do this add selector
to custom button
as it is view
of bar
buttom:
[customButton addTarget:self action:@selector(buttonPressed:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
EDIT : Note : the target
and action
of the UIBarButtonItem
apply to custom views
.
UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[button setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"goback.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[button addTarget:self action:@selector(//HERE ! i don't know put what thing !) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[button setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 32, 32)];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:button];
TRY THIS
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem=[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:[GlobalMethods buttonWithImage:@"top-nav-back" heighlightImageName:nil buttonFrame:CGRectMake(102, 1, 50, 30) selectorName:@selector(btnBackClicked:) target:self]];
+ (UIButton*)buttonWithImage:(NSString*)normalImageName heighlightImageName:(NSString*)heighlightImageName buttonFrame:(CGRect)buttonFrame selectorName:(SEL)selectorName target:(id)target
{
UIButton *objButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[objButton setFrame:buttonFrame];
[objButton addTarget:target action:selectorName forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[objButton setImage:[GlobalMethods getImageFromResourceBundle:normalImageName] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
if(heighlightImageName)
[objButton setImage:[GlobalMethods getImageFromResourceBundle:heighlightImageName] forState:UIControlStateDisabled];
if(heighlightImageName)
[objButton setImage:[GlobalMethods getImageFromResourceBundle:heighlightImageName] forState:UIControlStateSelected];
return objButton;
}
Try this..
[customButton addTarget:self action:@selector(buttonPressed:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
in your customBarButton method..
I mean to say give selector to your button instead of bar button item..
Check and reply..
Just put this line in your code..
[backButton addTarget:self action:@selector(backBtnPressed:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
This worked for me
UIButton * tmpButton = [self generateButtonwithImageName:@"Back.png" andSize:CGRectMake(0, 0, 55, 30)];
UIBarButtonItem * backButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:tmpButton];
[tmpButton addTarget:self action:@selector(reload) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem=backButton;
-(UIButton*)generateButtonwithImageName :(NSString*)imageName andSize:(CGRect)rect{
UIButton * button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
button.frame=rect;
[button setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:imageName] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
return button;
}
//working for me
if([version floatValue] < 7.0)
{
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"navi-bar.png"] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
self.navigationController.navigationBar.opaque = YES;
closeButton = [[UIButton alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 35, 30)];
[closeButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"btn_end.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[closeButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"btn_end_on.png"] forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];
[closeButton addTarget:self action:@selector(actionClose) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithCustomView:closeButton];
}
else{
/*add button back to navigation*//*add buttom back to navigation*/
UIBarButtonItem *itemBack = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithTitle:@"完了" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:@selector(actionClose)];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = itemBack;
}
