Changing navigation title programmatically

Question

I have a navigation bar with a title. When I double click the text to rename it, it actually says it\'s a navigation item, so it might be that.

I\'m trying to change

Answer 1

I prefer using self.navigationItem.title = "Your Title Here" over self.title = "Your Title Here" to provide title in the navigation bar since tab bar also uses self.title to alter its title. You should try the following code once.

Note: calling the super view lifecycle is necessary before you do any stuffs.

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        setupNavBar()
    }
}

private func setupNavBar() {
    self.navigationItem.title = "Your Title Here"
}
