Answer 1

(Using XCode 4.5.2) Found a method that works directly in Interface Builder - without setting in code.

With the ViewController object selected in (IB), under the Identity Inspector there is a section labeled "User Defined Runtime Attributes". I added the keyPath "title" of type String and set it to the value I wanted.

Tested and this works when pushed onto a Nav Controller stack and when opened modally (with a Modal Nav Controller of course).

Answer 2

you can use existing navigation bar with following code

self.navigationController?.navigationBar.topItem?.title = "Calender"

Answer 3

Simply put your UIViewController into a new UINavigationControllers view controller stack and present that navigation controller modally.

Answer 4

Here is the Simplest way:

[[[self.navigationController navigationBar] topItem] setTitle:@"The Title"];

Answer 5

in my .h file

• Dragged the Child of the navigation item from the storyboard into the .h file

• Named it "navigationBarTitle"

in my .m file

• Added self.navigationBarTitle.title = @"Some Title";

Answer 6

Also found this easier way if you've already defined a UINavigationBar in your IB. Assuming self.navigationBar is your IBOutlet:

self.navigationBar.topItem.title = title;
