Question

I am really having a hard time creating a UIToolBar programmatically(no xib file). This is what I would like to create.

But till now, I feel I have not approached it in the right way. I have tried adding a barbuttonitem to it, but I cant create the effect as shown in the png. How should I go about it. Help needed.

Edit: I have added a bigger image

Answer 1

UIBarButtonItem *spaceItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace target:nil action:nil];
[self.navigationController.toolbar setBarStyle:UIBarStyleBlackOpaque];
UIBarButtonItem *customItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"toolbar title" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain    target:self     action:@selector(onToolbarTapped:)];
NSArray *toolbarItems = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:spaceItem, customItem, spaceItem, nil];

[self setToolbarItems:toolbarItems animated:NO];
