Could anyone tell me why this code does not working?
self.backButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[self.backButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"back_arrow.png"]
forState:UIControlStateNormal];
self.backButton.contentMode = UIViewContentModeCenter;
[self.backButton addTarget:self
action:@selector(backButtonAction:)
forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
UIBarButtonItem *backButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:self.backButton];
[navigationItem setLeftBarButtonItem:backButtonItem animated:NO];
navigationItem.hidesBackButton = YES;
Edit:
Nothing appears on the leftBarButtonItem
. That's the problem.
From the docs:
"When creating a custom button—that is a button with the type UIButtonTypeCustom—the frame of the button is set to (0, 0, 0, 0) initially. Before adding the button to your interface, you should update the frame to a more appropriate value."
So you should see something if you set the frame in line 2, eg:
self.backButton.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 40, 20);
This should work
CGRect rect = CGRectMake(10, 0, 30, 30);
self.backButton = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:rect];
[self.backButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"back_arrow.png"]
forState:UIControlStateNormal];
self.backButton.contentMode = UIViewContentModeCenter;
[self.backButton addTarget:self
action:@selector(backButtonAction:)
forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
UIBarButtonItem *backButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:self.backButton];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = backButtonItem;
self.navigationItem.hidesBackButton = YES;
