iPhone : making UIBarButtonItem that is arrow shaped

Question

I have a UIBarButtonItem on a navigation bar. I\'d like to make it arrow shaped. By that I mean I want it to be square except for a pointy side. Does anyone know how to do t

Answer 1

Make a custom background. See Creating a left-arrow button (like UINavigationBar's "back" style) on a UIToolbar for how.

You may -pushNavigationItem:animated: to make the built-in back button appear, although you cannot assign custom actions to it.

For undocumented methods, you may use

UIButton* backButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:101];

to create a back "button".
