iOS 11 navigationItem.titleView Width Not Set

Question

Seeing a behavior on iOS11 with a navigationItem.titleView where the width of the titleView is not the full width of the screen.

I have a custom view that I set as the titleView. Previous to iOS11 the view would fill the navigation bar area. But iOS 11 it is not resizing to fill the width of the screen.

I've tried setting the frame of the view before setting titleView but no luck. I've tried to force the titleViews superview to layout constraints as well but no luck.

Screenshots attached:

Anyone else experience this?

Answer 1

I had the same issue but with setting an UIImage as the navigationItem titleView

What i did is i scaled the image to the needed size by using the below:

-(UIImage *)imageWithImage:(UIImage *)image scaledToSize:(CGSize)newSize {

    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(newSize, NO, 0.0);
    [image drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, newSize.width, newSize.height)];
    UIImage *newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

    return newImage;
}

And call it as follows:

-(void)setHeaderImage{
    UIImage * image = [self imageWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"headerImage"] scaledToSize:CGSizeMake(150, 27)];
    UIImageView *  imageView = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithImage:image];
    imageView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 150, 27);
    imageView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit;
    self.navigationItem.titleView = imageView;
}

The most important is that you need overwrite customTitleView as your titleView:

self.navigationItem.titleView = [self titleView];

#pragma mark - getter

- (UIView *)titleView {
    UIView *navTitleView = [HFCalenderTitleView new];
    navTitleView.frame = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, HorizontalFrom750(200.0), 44.0);

    [navTitleView addSubview:self.titleLabel];
    [self.titleLabel mas_makeConstraints:^(MASConstraintMaker *make) {
        make.center.equalTo(navTitleView);
    }];

    CGFloat btnWidth = 30.0;
    [navTitleView addSubview:self.previousButton];
    self.previousButton.imageEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 15.0);
    [self.previousButton mas_makeConstraints:^(MASConstraintMaker *make) {
        make.left.equalTo(navTitleView);
        make.top.bottom.equalTo(navTitleView);
        make.width.equalTo(@(btnWidth));
    }];
    [navTitleView addSubview:self.nextBtn];
    self.nextBtn.imageEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0.0, 15.0, 0.0, 0.0);
    [self.nextBtn mas_makeConstraints:^(MASConstraintMaker *make) {
        make.right.equalTo(navTitleView);
        make.top.bottom.equalTo(navTitleView);
        make.width.equalTo(@(btnWidth));
    }];

    return navTitleView;
}
#pragma mark - customTitleView

#import "HFCalenderTitleView.h"
@implementation HFCalenderTitleView
- (CGSize)intrinsicContentSize{
    return CGSizeMake(HorizontalFrom750(200.0), 40); // the target size
}

Answer 3

setting intrinsicContentSize to UILayoutFittingExpandedSize works fine as well

Answer 4

return UILayoutFittingExpandedSize not helped me, because view was added vertically few more times to fill layout.

The solution was to override intrinsicContentSize in custom view setting width to max screen width:

 - (CGSize)intrinsicContentSize {
    //fills empty space. View will be resized to be smaller, but if it is too small - then it stays too small
    CGRect frame = self.frame;
    frame.size.width = MAX(SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT);
    return frame.size;
}

Answer 5

Fixed it by creating a subclass of UIView and assigned it to a title view of UINavigationController

Objective-C:

#import "FLWCustomTitleView.h"

@implementation FLWCustomTitleView

- (CGSize )intrinsicContentSize {
  return UILayoutFittingExpandedSize;
}

@end

Answer 6

You can also use constraints if you don't want to override intrinsicContentSize. Here's a demo of SnapKit

self.navigationItem.titleView = titleView
if #available(iOS 11, *) {
    titleView.snp.makeConstraints({ (make) in
        make.width.equalTo(250) // fixed width
        make.height.equalTo(30) // less than 44(height of naviagtion bar)
    })
}else {
    titleView.frame = ...
}

But if there are more than one navigationbaritems on any side(left or right) navigationbar, you should use intrinsicContentSize;
