How do I show/hide a UIBarButtonItem?

Question

I created a toolbar in IB with several buttons. I would like to be able to hide/show one of the buttons depending on the state of the data in the main window.

Answer 1

Some helper methods I thought I'd share based upon lnafziger's accepted answer as I have multiple toolbars and multiple buttons in each:

-(void) hideToolbarItem:(UIBarButtonItem*) button inToolbar:(UIToolbar*) toolbar{
    NSMutableArray *toolbarButtons = [toolbar.items mutableCopy];
    [toolbarButtons removeObject:button];
    [toolbar setItems:toolbarButtons animated:NO];
}

-(void) showToolbarItem:(UIBarButtonItem*) button inToolbar:(UIToolbar*) toolbar atIndex:(int) index{
    NSMutableArray *toolbarButtons = [toolbar.items mutableCopy];
    if (![toolbarButtons containsObject:button]){
        [toolbarButtons insertObject:button atIndex:index];
        [self setToolbarItems:toolbarButtons animated:YES];
    }
}
