How to create backBarButtomItem with custom view for a UINavigationController

Question

I have a UINavigationController into which I push several views. Inside viewDidLoad for one of these views I want to set the self.navigationI

Answer 1

I think I found the solution for this. Simply set the button on the navigation item on the previous controller (The one that you want to go back to)

So if I have for example a root controller and I push a second controller and want to customize the back button then I should do the following:

self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
    initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"ico.png"] style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered
    target:nil action:nil] autorelease];

Where self is the root view controller and not the second one.
