How can I fix this NavigationController and UIToolbar offset issue in Objective-C?
- by editor
I'm adding a couple of buttons to an already-existing NavigationController. The two buttons are added to a UIView, which is pushed onto the NavigationItem. The buttons stop and reload a UIWebView.
Problem is that there's a slight offset issue that is making it all look pretty ugly. I wish I could set the UIToolbar to transparent or clear background but that doesn't seem to be an option. Can't seem to use negative offsets either. I've got color matching, but if you look closely there's 1px or 2px of highlighting up top that's causing a visual mismatch and then a slight offset at the bottom.
Some relevant code below (based on this, inbound Googlers). What are my options to resolve this?
// create a toolbar for the buttons
UIToolbar* toolbar = [[UIToolbar alloc]
initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 45)];
[toolbar setBarStyle: UIBarStyleDefault];
UIColor *colorForBar = [[UIColor alloc] initWithRed:.72 green:0 blue:0 alpha:0];
toolbar.tintColor = colorForBar;
[colorForBar release];
//[toolbar setTranslucent:YES];
// create an array for the buttons
NSMutableArray* buttons = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:3];
// create a standard reload button
UIBarButtonItem *reloadButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemRefresh
target:self
action:@selector(reload)];
reloadButton.style = UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered;
[buttons addObject:reloadButton];
[reloadButton release];
// create a spacer between the buttons
UIBarButtonItem *spacer = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFixedSpace
target:nil
action:nil];
[buttons addObject:spacer];
[spacer release];
// create a standard delete button with the trash icon
UIBarButtonItem *stopButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemStop
target:self
action:@selector(stopLoading)];
stopButton.style = UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered;
[buttons addObject:stopButton];
[stopButton release];
// put the buttons in the toolbar and release them
[toolbar setItems:buttons animated:NO];
[buttons release];
// place the toolbar into the navigation bar
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithCustomView:toolbar];
[toolbar release];
