Change position of UIBarButtonItem in UINavigationBar

Question

How can I change the position of a UIBarButtonItem in a UINavigationBar? I would like my button to be about 5px higher than its normal position.

Answer 1

Try the code below,

UIBarButtonItem *button = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Logout" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleDone target:self action:nil];
[button setBackgroundVerticalPositionAdjustment:-20.0f forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
[[self navigationItem] setRightBarButtonItem:button];

Its used to change the 'y' position in this code. Change the 'y' value (here it is -20.0f) according to your requirement. If the value is positive, it will down the button position. If the value is negative, it will up your button position.
