Button in the middle of navigationBar [closed]

Answer 1

Try this if your are using a UINavigationController

1. change the background image of your navigation bar with [self.navigationController.navigationBar setBackgroundImageForBarMetrics:]
2. set your left and right buttons with [self.navigationItem setLeftBarButtonItem:] and [self.navigationItem setRightBarButtonItem:]. You will probably have to use UIBarButtonItem's with a UIButton as a custom view here to get rid of the border.
3. set the three buttons in the middle like this

(you probably have to change the dimensions)

UIView *buttonView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 180, 40)];
UIButton *button1 = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
button1.imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"button1.png"];
button1.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 40, 40);

UIButton *button2 = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
button2.imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"button2.png"];
button2.frame = CGRectMake(70, 0, 40, 40);

UIButton *button3 = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
button3.imageView.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"button3.png"];
button3.frame = CGRectMake(140, 0, 40, 40);

[buttonView addSubview:button1];
[buttonView addSubview:button2];
[buttonView addSubview:button3];

self.navigationItem.titleView = buttonView;

Answer 2

Assuming you are using a Navigation Controller you can set your navigationBar's titleView property to a UIView container that holds the three buttons in the middle (and the two sets of three dots). The code would look like something like this:

    UIView *buttonContainer = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 200, 44)];
    buttonContainer.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
    UIButton *button0 = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
    [button0 setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 44, 44)];
    [button0 setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"button0.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    [button0 addTarget:self action:@selector(button0Action:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
    [button0 setShowsTouchWhenHighlighted:YES];
    [buttonContainer addSubview:button0];

    //add your spacer images and button1 and button2...

    self.navigationItem.titleView = buttonContainer;  

Or you could do this all in IB of course.
