Question

In my app I have UINavigationController with two UIViewControler’s (first and second). The first view controller contain UITableView. When a cell of table is touched the second view controller is pushed. What I want is to set custom text to back button at the second view. Here is the code in second view.

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
   [super viewDidLoad];
    self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem =
    [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Go back"
                                      style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered
                                     target:nil
                                     action:nil] autorelease]; 
}

The problem is that the text of back button is changed but second view controller is not removed from the stack when the button is touched.

Answer 1

This has been already asked so many times:

The back button (self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem) must be set instead of left button and not in the second controller, but in the first one (root).
