In Navigation Bar you get a Arrow shaped Back button similar to this image. (According to this image the arrow is named folders)
I need to add this Arrow shaped bar button on to a cell. Is this possible ? How can i do this programatically ?

The navigation controller back button (with the arrow appearance) can only be added using code to a navigation bar – by setting the back bar button property of the navigation item of the previous controller in the stack.
You can’t add this button to a table cell, and frankly it would look a little odd – what does it do? Does each cell go “back” to a different screen? Apple aren’t usually keen on you repurposing existing UI elements to mean something other than the standard.
There is no built in UIButton or UIBarButtonItem that will give you that appearance, therefore you will have to create your own image and use that as the background for a custom button which you can then add to your cell.
