Adding BarButtons to a UINavigationBar after presenting a modal view controller.
- by yujean
I'm using the template for a "Utility Application".
In the "FlipSideViewController", I added an IBOutlet for a UINavigationController, navController. In the code, I added the navController just fine. The rootViewController loads perfectly:
navController.viewControllers = [[NSArray arrayWithObject:rootViewController] retain];
[self.view addSubview:navController.view];
I changed the color of the navController just fine:
navController.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.6 green:0.75 blue:0.6 alpha:1.0];
navController.navigationBar.translucent = NO;
I make a button (note: "done" refers to a IBAction that dismisses the modalviewcontroller):
UIBarButtonItem *backButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"TEST" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleDone target:self action:@selector(done:)];
I make a navItem using that button:
UINavigationItem *backNavItem = [[UINavigationItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"TESTTEST"];
[backNavItem setRightBarButtonItem:backButton animated:YES];
I try to add that button:
[navController.navigationBar pushNavigationItem:backNavItem animated:YES];
This above code fails miserably. I apparently can't add buttons to the navController because:
* Terminating app due to uncaught exception
'NSInternalInconsistencyException',
reason: 'Cannot call
pushNavigationItem:animated: directly
on a UINavigationBar managed by a
controller.'
Do I have to make a separate UINavigationBar that's somehow connected to my navController? I tried going that route but with no avail.
