is there a way to use a different images for the ipad landscape/portrait mode? My navigationbar contains a logo in the middle and while it works great on the iphone with different images, I can't use different images for the iPad so the logo isn't centered when you turn the device.
Alternatively, I can use a plain background image and maybe replace the navigation bar title with an image or center a button but I also couldn't manage to do that either. (I don't have a UINavigationController subclass).
here is my code that is doing the trick so far inside the app delegate:
if ([UINavigationBar respondsToSelector:@selector(appearance)]) {
// Create resizable images for iphone
UIImage *navbarImage44 = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"nav_bar"]
resizableImageWithCapInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, 0, 0)];
UIImage *navbarImage32 = [[UIImage imageNamed:@"nav_bar_landscape"]
resizableImageWithCapInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, 0, 0)];
// Overide for iPad
// In theory navbar_bg_landscape~iPad should work
if (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad) {
//use iPad specific image extending last pixel for landscape mode
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:[[UIImage imageNamed:@"nav_bar_ipad" ]
resizableImageWithCapInsets:UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 0, 0, 0)]
forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
}else {
// Set the background image for *all* UINavigationBars
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:navbarImage44
forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
// Never called on iPad, used for landscape on iPhone
[[UINavigationBar appearance] setBackgroundImage:navbarImage32
forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsLandscapePhone];
}
}
