Question

I have a UITableView where I am displaying a list of data. I would like to have a logo instead of just text for the header portion of the view. The code below gives me just the text.

Any ideas on how to get the image in there?

- (void)viewDidLoad 
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    self. = @"Videos";

To get an icon in the navigation bar (basically what the Facebook app does) use the navigationItem’s titleView property. You can put an arbitrary UIView there, and a UIImageView with the logo on a transparent background would give the same effect that Facebook uses. Do this in viewDidLoad and you’re set.

Any view controller can use a UINavigationItem, so if you’re not using a navigation controller you should still be able to get one.

Alternately, just add a UIToolbar wherever it makes sense, and give it a UIBarButtonItem with a custom view set to a UIImageView.
