Question

I have the following issue.

I have a background image for my UINavigationBar so I have to hide all the titles from the Navigation Bars. The problem comes with the “More” Navigation Bar of the TabBarController. I have managed to hide it, but this only happens the first time its shown. When I select an item from within it, and go back, “More” is displayed again.

Im guessing I should disable the title inside some sort of “viewWillAppear” delegate method for the “More” View Controller, yet I have no idea how to do that.

This is the first time I display “More”, as you can see, the Logo is there (smudged of course 🙂 ) however, More is not:

This is the View Controller of the first Item in the “More” View Controller:

After I press the “More” left button in the Navigation Bar to go back, I get this:

Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

The solution came by setting the delegate to the more view controller and acting upon the delegate method.

First, I set the delegate to the “more” view controller (in my case in the appdelegate):

[tbc.moreNavigationController setDelegate:self];

the I proceeded to implement the following method:

-(void)navigationController:(UINavigationController *)navigationController willShowViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController animated:(BOOL)animated
{
    if([viewController.title isEqualToString:@"More" ])
    {
        UILabel *label = [[[UILabel alloc] init] autorelease];
        viewController.navigationItem.titleView = label;
        label.text = @"";   
    }

}

This effectively gets called not just the first time but everytime the view controller came up. Even when a back button was pressed.
