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

Here is a simple workaround that was sufficient for my needs. I added an info button on the right hand side of the UINavigationBar but by default it sits way too close to the edge. By extending the width of the frame I was able to create the extra spacing needed on the right.

 UIButton *info = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeInfoLight];
 CGRect frame = info.frame;
 frame.size.width += 20;
 info.frame = frame;
 myNavigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithCustomView:info]autorelease];
