Add subtitle under the title in navigation bar con

问题:

So I'm wanting to add a "subtitle" under the title in the navigation bar in navigation controller.

Mostly everything I look up so far wants me to use CGRect. I don't know a whole lot what that is and it sounds like its wanting me to create an entire new view which is not what I am wanting to do.

My question is, is there a dot method to adding a subtitle view easily?

The closest thing I found was posted on stack overflow and here is the link:

Create a subtitle in navigationbar

Apparently last year this worked but now I am getting errors and it's in my viewDidLoad...

I tried this:

self.navigationController?.navigationItem.prompt = "Subtitle Here"

It's the only thing that won't show any errors but still doesn't work. It literally does nothing. At least nothing visible at run time.

On a side note, swift is preferred. Thanks!

Though there is a solution but it has some known issues

Solution is writing a function like this

func setTitle(title:String, subtitle:String) -> UIView {
    let titleLabel = UILabel(frame: CGRectMake(0, -2, 0, 0))

    titleLabel.backgroundColor = UIColor.clearColor()
    titleLabel.textColor = UIColor.grayColor()
    titleLabel.font = UIFont.boldSystemFontOfSize(17)
    titleLabel.text = title
    titleLabel.sizeToFit()

    let subtitleLabel = UILabel(frame: CGRectMake(0, 18, 0, 0))
    subtitleLabel.backgroundColor = UIColor.clearColor()
    subtitleLabel.textColor = UIColor.blackColor()
    subtitleLabel.font = UIFont.systemFontOfSize(12)
    subtitleLabel.text = subtitle
    subtitleLabel.sizeToFit()

    let titleView = UIView(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, max(titleLabel.frame.size.width, subtitleLabel.frame.size.width), 30))
    titleView.addSubview(titleLabel)
    titleView.addSubview(subtitleLabel)

    let widthDiff = subtitleLabel.frame.size.width - titleLabel.frame.size.width

    if widthDiff < 0 {
        let newX = widthDiff / 2
        subtitleLabel.frame.origin.x = abs(newX)
    } else {
        let newX = widthDiff / 2
        titleLabel.frame.origin.x = newX
    }

    return titleView
}

Using this function for custom navigation title view in viewDidLoad

self.navigationItem.titleView = setTitle("Title", subtitle: "SubTitle")

Only known issue is that if subtitle becomes very large than the misplacement occurs.

Here is my version using a stack view on an extension.

extension UINavigationItem {



     func setTitle(title:String, subtitle:String) {

            let one = UILabel()
            one.text = title
            one.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 17)
            one.sizeToFit()

            let two = UILabel()
            two.text = subtitle
            two.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 12)
            two.textAlignment = .center
            two.sizeToFit()



            let stackView = UIStackView(arrangedSubviews: [one, two])
            stackView.distribution = .equalCentering
            stackView.axis = .vertical
            stackView.alignment = .center

            let width = max(one.frame.size.width, two.frame.size.width)
            stackView.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: width, height: 35)

            one.sizeToFit()
            two.sizeToFit()



            self.titleView = stackView
        }
    }

Thanks a lot for your answer! @RajanMaheshwari

Your coding worked perfectly except the if statement you made with the widthDiff..

I adjusted it a little bit and everything worked smoothly.

if widthDiff < 0 {
        let newX = widthDiff / 2
        subtitleLabel.frame.origin.x = abs(newX)
    } else {
        let newX = widthDiff / 2
        titleLabel.frame.origin.x = newX
    }

Thanks again for your response!

@iosjillian's Swift 4 extension works great, adding a bit more to honor the bar's appearance and user font preferences:

import UIKit

extension UINavigationItem {

  func setTitle(_ title: String, subtitle: String) {
    let appearance = UINavigationBar.appearance()
    let textColor = appearance.titleTextAttributes?[NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor] as? UIColor ?? .black

    let titleLabel = UILabel()
    titleLabel.text = title
    titleLabel.font = .preferredFont(forTextStyle: UIFont.TextStyle.headline)
    titleLabel.textColor = textColor

    let subtitleLabel = UILabel()
    subtitleLabel.text = subtitle
    subtitleLabel.font = .preferredFont(forTextStyle: UIFont.TextStyle.subheadline)
    subtitleLabel.textColor = textColor.withAlphaComponent(0.75)

    let stackView = UIStackView(arrangedSubviews: [titleLabel, subtitleLabel])
    stackView.distribution = .equalCentering
    stackView.alignment = .center
    stackView.axis = .vertical

    self.titleView = stackView
  }
}

In case anyone looking for Objective-C code of the above mentioned solution:

   UILabel *title = [[UILabel alloc]init];
   UILabel *subtitle = [[UILabel alloc]init];

   [title setFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:12]];
   [title setTextColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
   [title setFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:17]];
   [title sizeToFit];
   title.text = @"Title";

   [subtitle setTextColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
   [subtitle setFont:[UIFont systemFontOfSize:12]];
   [subtitle setTextAlignment:NSTextAlignmentCenter];
   [subtitle sizeToFit];
   subtitle.text = @"Subtitle Title";

   UIStackView *stackVw = [[UIStackView alloc]initWithArrangedSubviews:@[title,subtitle]];
   stackVw.distribution = UIStackViewDistributionEqualCentering;
   stackVw.axis = UILayoutConstraintAxisVertical;
   stackVw.alignment =UIStackViewAlignmentCenter;


   [stackVw setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, MAX(title.frame.size.width, subtitle.frame.size.width), 35)];
   self.navigationItem.titleView = stackVw;

Thanks for the answer @RajanMaheshwari

If anyone is having the issue where the title becomes misaligned when the subtitle text is longer than the title text, I added the following code to the Rajan's answer above just below where the subtitleLabel is instantiated:

// Fix incorrect width bug
if (subtitleLabel.frame.size.width > titleLabel.frame.size.width) {
    var titleFrame = titleLabel.frame
    titleFrame.size.width = subtitleLabel.frame.size.width
    titleLabel.frame = titleFrame
    titleLabel.textAlignment = .center
}

Hope this helps someone who encountered the same issue as me

I really liked @user2325031's answer, but found that sizing the labels to fit and setting the frame wasn't needed. I also set the stackView's alignment to .center per @GerardoMR's suggestion.

extension UINavigationItem {

    func setTitle(_ title: String, subtitle: String) {
        let titleLabel = UILabel()
        titleLabel.text = title
        titleLabel.font = .systemFont(ofSize: 17.0)
        titleLabel.textColor = .black

        let subtitleLabel = UILabel()
        subtitleLabel.text = subtitle
        subtitleLabel.font = .systemFont(ofSize: 12.0)
        subtitleLabel.textColor = .gray

        let stackView = UIStackView(arrangedSubviews: [titleLabel, subtitleLabel])
        stackView.distribution = .equalCentering
        stackView.alignment = .center
        stackView.axis = .vertical

        self.titleView = stackView
    }

}

Swift 4:

import UIKit

class NavigationTitleView: UIView {

    private var contentStackView = UIStackView()
    private var titleLabel = UILabel()
    private var subTitleLabel = UILabel()

    override init(frame: CGRect) {
        super.init(frame: frame)

        viewConfig()
        addViewsConfig()
        layoutViewsConfig()

    }

    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
    }


    func set(title: String, subTitle: String){

        self.titleLabel.text = title
        self.subTitleLabel.text = subTitle

    }

    private func viewConfig() {

        contentStackView.axis = .vertical
        contentStackView.alignment = .center
        contentStackView.distribution  = .fill
        contentStackView.spacing = 5


        self.backgroundColor = .clear
        self.titleLabel.textColor = .white
        self.self.subTitleLabel.textColor = .white

    }

    private func addViewsConfig() {

        contentStackView.addArrangedSubview(subTitleLabel)
        contentStackView.addArrangedSubview(titleLabel)
        self.addSubview(contentStackView)

    }

    private func layoutViewsConfig(){

        contentStackView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        contentStackView.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.centerXAnchor, constant: 0.0).isActive = true
        contentStackView.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.centerYAnchor, constant: 0.0).isActive = true

    }

}

Use:

import UIKit

class  ViewController: UIViewController {

    private var navigationTitleView = NavigationTitleView()

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        self.navigationItem.titleView = navigationTitleView
        navigationTitleView.set(title: "title", subTitle: "subTitle")

    }

}

Another solution, using only one label and NSAttributedString to differentiate between title and subtitle (with different font sizes, weights, colors, etc.) instead. Removes the problem of different label alignment.

extension UIViewController {
    func setTitle(_ title: String, subtitle: String) {
        let rect = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 400, height: 50)
        let titleSize: CGFloat = 20     // adjust as needed
        let subtitleSize: CGFloat = 15

        let label = UILabel(frame: rect)
        label.backgroundColor = .clear
        label.numberOfLines = 2
        label.textAlignment = .center
        label.textColor = .black

        let text = NSMutableAttributedString()
        text.append(NSAttributedString(string: title, attributes: [.font : UIFont.boldSystemFont(ofSize: titleSize)]))
        text.append(NSAttributedString(string: "\n\(subtitle)", attributes: [.font : UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: subtitleSize)]))
        label.attributedText = text
        self.navigationItem.titleView = label
    }
}

This will do the job:

let searchController = UISearchController(searchResultsController: nil)
        if #available(iOS 11.0, *) {
            self.navigationItem.searchController = searchController
        } else {
            self.navigationItem.titleView = searchController.searchBar
        }
