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

Init UIBarButtonItem with custom view and overload layoutSubviews in custom view, like this

-(void) layoutSubviews {
  [super layoutSubviews];
  CGRect frame = self.frame;
  CGFloat offsetY = 5;
  frame.origin.y = (44 - frame.size.height) / 2 - offsetY;
  self.frame = frame;
}
