Question

Is it possible to embed a CGRect into a navigation bar just like this screenshot: here

I’ve done this:

UIView *aView = [[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 10, 10)];
[self.view addSubview:aView];
UILabel *title = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(100, -15, 150, 10)];

Using a negative figure, it actually allows me to place the label in the same space as the nav bar, but it will be hidden behind it. Is there way for me to bring the label to the front (change the z-index?)? Or is there a way to embed a label in the nav bar?

I’ve tried using this code but it doesn’t effect the label:

[self.view bringSubviewToFront:aView];

Answered thanks to EmptyStack:

Adding this code:

self.navigationItem.titleView = aView;
 [aView addSubview:title];

Allows to embed the title (or more) in the navigation bar.

I guess you want this one.

self.navigationItem.titleView = aView;
