Question

Here is my code. This is adding image but images are being appeared in navigation bar.

UIToolbar* toolbartop = [[UIToolbar alloc]
                      initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 45)];
[toolbar setBarStyle: UIBarStyleBlackOpaque];

// create an array for the buttons
NSMutableArray* buttonstop = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:5];


UIBarButtonItem *remainderButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] 
                                    initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"home.png"]
                                    style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain 
                                    target:self 
                                    action:@selector(LoadOption:)];


 [buttonstop addObject:remainderButton];
[remainderButton release];

UIBarButtonItem *faveButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"home.png"]
                                                               style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain
                                                              target:self
                                                              action:@selector(homeAction)];
[buttonstop addObject:faveButton];
[faveButton release];


// put the buttons in the toolbar and release them
[toolbartop setItems:buttonstop animated:NO];
[buttonstop release];

// place the toolbar into the navigation bar
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:toolbartop];

But this code is showing image in navigation right bar.

UIBarButtonItem *settingButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"home.png"]
                                                               style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain
                                                              target:self
                                                              action:@selector(homeAction)];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = settingButton;

Why left navigation bar button is not showing images?

[toolbartop release];

Answer 1

You can add the image to your left BarButtonItem as follows:

UIButton *button1 = [[UIButton alloc] init];
button1.frame=CGRectMake(0,0,105,30);
[button1 setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed: @"image1.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[button1 addTarget:appDelegate action:@selector(Open_Link1) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

UIButton *button2 = [[UIButton alloc] init];
button2.frame=CGRectMake(105,0,105,30);
[button2 setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed: @"image2.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[button2 addTarget:appDelegate action:@selector(Open_Link2) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

UIView *viewButtons = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 210, 30)];
[viewButtons addSubview:button1];
[viewButtons addSubview:button2];
[button1 release];
[button2 release];

self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithCustomView:viewButtons];
[viewButtons release];

Here please make sure that the methods “Open_Link1” and “Open_Link2” must exists in the code as follows:

-(void)Open_Link1
{
     // Write your logic
}

-(void)Open_Link2
{
     // Write your logic
}

Let me know if you want more help.
