Question

i got the following code:

- (id)init {
  if (self = [super init]) {
      self.title = @"please wait";
      UIBarButtonItem *favorite = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"star.png"] style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:@selector(buttonFavoriteClicked:)];
      self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = favorite;
  }

  return self;
}

but my button looks still like a Button with UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered

is there a way to set a button with plain style at this position?

Answer 1

Create a UIButton in interface builder, make it look like exactly what you want. Create an outlet for in in your .h:

IBOutlet UIButton * _myButton;

Then set it as your right bar button item using a custom view, which will eliminate the border:

self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:_myButton];

This works because UIButton is a subclass of UIView.
