Set UINavigationBar Header

Question

Is it possible to set self.navigationItem.title = @"MyTitle"; after loading the view?

I use a search bar, and in the same view, I submit a UITableView using the search results. Therefore, I want the text value in the search bar to appear as the title of the navigation bar after loading the search results.

I am using iOS 4.3.

Answer 1

Found a solution. I followed Pedro Valentini .

This is what I did

 UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 120, 30)]; label.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter; [label setFont:[UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:16.0]]; [label setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]]; [label setTextColor:[UIColor whiteColor]]; [label setText:text]; [self.navigationController.navigationBar.topItem setTitleView:label]; [label release]; 

Answer 2

Just set the UINavigationBar header as follows:

 navBar.topItem.title = @"sample string"; 

Answer 3

Usually the titleView will be a UILabel, so you can get it, drop it and set its text.

For some reason, I had problems using this in viewDidLoad , adding it to viewWillAppear seems like a trick.

 ((UILabel *)self.navigationController.navigationBar.topItem.titleView).text = @"your title here" 

Answer 4

Yes. You can dynamically set the title of the navigationItem element during any part of the UIViewController life cycle. The set operation is handled by the getter method, which sends a message to the UINavigationController to load the navigation view contents to reflect the new name.

Answer 5

This should work if self is inside "inside" of a UINavigationController .

Answer 6

 _navBar = [[UINavigationBar alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, 44)]; _navBar.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth; UINavigationItem *navItem = [UINavigationItem alloc]; navItem.title = @"Title"; 

Try it.
