Question

Hi I need to set the button on right side, in navigation bar, programatically , so that if I press the button I will perform some actions. I have created the navigation bar

Answer 1

UIImage* image3 = [UIImage imageNamed:@"back_button.png"];
CGRect frameimg = CGRectMake(15,5, 25,25);

UIButton *someButton = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:frameimg];
[someButton setBackgroundImage:image3 forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[someButton addTarget:self action:@selector(Back_btn:)
     forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[someButton setShowsTouchWhenHighlighted:YES];

UIBarButtonItem *mailbutton =[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:someButton];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem =mailbutton;
[someButton release];

///// called event

-(IBAction)Back_btn:(id)sender
{
    //Your code here
}

SWIFT:

var image3 = UIImage(named: "back_button.png")
var frameimg = CGRect(x: 15, y: 5, width: 25, height: 25)

var someButton = UIButton(frame: frameimg)
someButton.setBackgroundImage(image3, for: .normal)
someButton.addTarget(self, action: Selector("Back_btn:"), for: .touchUpInside)
someButton.showsTouchWhenHighlighted = true

var mailbutton = UIBarButtonItem(customView: someButton)
navigationItem?.leftBarButtonItem = mailbutton

func back_btn(_ sender: Any) {
    //Your code here
}

Hello everyone !! I created the solution to the issue at hand where Two UIInterface orientations are wanted using the UIIMagePicker.. In my ViewController where I handle the segue to the UIImagePickerController

**I use a..

-(void) editButtonPressed:(id)sender {
   BOOL editPressed = YES;
    NSUserDefaults *boolDefaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
    [boolDefaults setBool:editPressed forKey:@"boolKey"];
    [boolDefaults synchronize];

    [self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"photoSegue" sender:nil]; 

}

**

Then in the AppDelegate Class I do the following.

- (NSUInteger)application:(UIApplication *)application supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow:(UIWindow *)window {

    BOOL appDelBool;
    NSUserDefaults *boolDefaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
    appDelBool = [boolDefaults boolForKey:@"boolKey"];

       if (appDelBool == YES)
           return (UIInterfaceOrientationMaskPortrait);
        else
            return UIInterfaceOrientationMaskLandscapeLeft;
}

Swift version, add this in viewDidLoad:

var doneButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Done", style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.Plain, target: self, action: "doneButton:")
navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = doneButton

And this in your View Controller class

func doneButton(sender: UIBarButtonItem) {
    println(111)
}

If you are not looking for a BarButtonItem but simple button on navigationBar then below code works:

UIButton *aButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[aButton setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"NavBar.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[aButton addTarget:self
            action:@selector(showButtonView:)
  forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
aButton.frame = CGRectMake(260.0, 10.0, 30.0, 30.0);
[self.navigationController.navigationBar addSubview:aButton];
