I am in process of adding large title in navigation bar in one of the application. The issue is title is little long so I will require to add two lines in large title. How can I add large title with two lines in navigation bar ?
This is not about default navigation bar title ! This is about large title which is introduced in iOS 11 . So make sure you add suggestions by considering large title. Thanks
Get a navigation item subviews and locate UILabel from it.
Try this and see:
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.prefersLargeTitles = true
self.navigationController?.navigationItem.largeTitleDisplayMode = .automatic
self.title = "This is multiline title for navigation bar"
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.largeTitleTextAttributes = [
NSAttributedStringKey.foregroundColor: UIColor.black,
NSAttributedStringKey.font : UIFont.preferredFont(forTextStyle: .largeTitle)
]
for navItem in(self.navigationController?.navigationBar.subviews)! {
for itemSubView in navItem.subviews {
if let largeLabel = itemSubView as? UILabel {
largeLabel.text = self.title
largeLabel.numberOfLines = 0
largeLabel.lineBreakMode = .byWordWrapping
}
}
}
Here is result:
Based in @krunal answer, this is working for me:
extension UIViewController {
func setupNavigationMultilineTitle() {
guard let navigationBar = self.navigationController?.navigationBar else { return }
for sview in navigationBar.subviews {
for ssview in sview.subviews {
guard let label = ssview as? UILabel else { break }
if label.text == self.title {
label.numberOfLines = 0
label.lineBreakMode = .byWordWrapping
label.sizeToFit()
UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.3, animations: {
navigationBar.frame.size.height = 57 + label.frame.height
})
}
}
}
}
}
In the UIViewController:
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.title = "This is a multiline title"
setupNavigationMultilineTitle()
}
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(animated)
setupNavigationMultilineTitle()
}
And for setting font and color on the large title:
navigation.navigationBar.largeTitleTextAttributes = [NSAttributedStringKey.foregroundColor: .red, NSAttributedStringKey.font: UIFont.boldSystemFont(ofSize: 30)]
Here you can add a multiline UILabel
in the NavigationTitle
, You can do it by some kind of customisation in your code and put the UILabel
on self.navigationItem.titleView
let label = UILabel()
label.backgroundColor = .clear
label.numberOfLines = 2
label.font = UIFont.boldSystemFont(ofSize: 16.0)
label.textAlignment = .center
label.textColor = .black
label.text = "JUV vs LFC\nUEFA Championship"
self.navigationItem.titleView = label
Cheers have a good day.
To set a multi-line large title in the Navigation Bar, do the following:
Step 1: Add your title to the Navigation Bar via the StoryBoard.
Step 2: Go to your ViewController file and add the following line under
viewDidLoad() method
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.prefersLargeTitles = true
