UINavigationController “back button” custom text?

Question

The \"back button\" of a UINavigationController by default shows the title of the last view in the stack. Is there a way to have custom text in the back button

Answer 1

The title of the back button defaults to the previous view's title so a quick trick I use is to place the following code on the previous view's .m file.

-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {

    // Set title
    self.navigationItem.title=@"Original Title";
}

-(void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated {

    // Set title
    self.navigationItem.title=@"Back";
}
