Question

I’m creating custom UINavigationItem with custom background image and title. The image is shown but the title doesn’t. What could be wrong?
I’m doing it this way:

UIButton *button =  [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom]; 
[button setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"bar_button.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal]; 
[button setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"bar_button_black.png"] forState:UIControlStateSelected];
[button setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"bar_button_black.png"] forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];
[button setTitle:@"Cancel" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[button setTitle:@"Cancel" forState:UIControlStateSelected];
[button setTitle:@"Cancel" forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];
[button addTarget:self action:@selector(closeButtonClicked) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside]; 

[button setFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 49, 30)]; 
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:button];

Answer 1

You need to set image as backgroundImage not direct. If you set image like this

[button setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"bar_button.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal]; 

the title will not be displayed

set like this

[button setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"bar_button.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
