Question

I have a UIBarButtonItem with a custom view of a UIbutton with an image, I want to have a different UIImage for different orientation, so here’s my code:

 UIButton * backButton = (UIButton *) ((UIBarButtonItem *) self.navBar_.topItem.leftBarButtonItem).customView;
        if (UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape([[UIApplication sharedApplication] statusBarOrientation]) && IS_IPAD) {        
            [backButton setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"back-landscape.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];  
            [backButton setFrame: CGRectMake(0, 0, 46, 35)]; 
        } else {
            [backButton setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"back-reading.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];  
            [backButton setFrame: CGRectMake(0, 0, 23, 19)]; 
        }

However this doesn’t change the UIButton image, why is this?

Answer 1

Try this:-

UIButton * backButton ;
if (UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape([[UIApplication sharedApplication] statusBarOrientation]) && IS_IPAD) 
{ 
    backButton = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, 66.0f, 36.0f)];       
    [backButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"back-landscape.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];  

} 
else 
{
    backButton = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, 23, 19)];     
    [backButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"back-reading.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];  
    [backButton setFrame: CGRectMake(0, 0, 23, 19)]; 
}

[backButton addTarget:self action:@selector(goToHome) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
UIBarButtonItem *HomeButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView: backButton];
[self.navigationItem setLeftBarButtonItem:HomeButton];
