Question

I am able to customize the back button on my navigation bar, but in order for me to show the left arrow shape, do I need to create my customized image with the left arrow specifically?

Or there is a way to use the original back button with the arrow shape, while just apply my background image onto it?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Set yourButton the customized image with the left arrow

self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem =  [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:yourButton] autorelease]; 

You cannot modify the original BACK button.
