Question

I’ve got a UINavigationController which is created in my App Delegate.

After pushing a view controller, I would like the navigationItem of that view to ‘forget’ the previous view controller (stop displaying its back button), while still retaining the title of the newly-pushed view controller.

How could I achieve this? I’ve tried setting the leftBarButtonItem of the new view controller’s navigationItem using

 self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = nil;

in viewDidLoad, but to no avail.

Any help appreciated.

Answer 1

In your New(second in stack) view controller hide the back Button by using navigationItem’s method setHidesBackButton:.

Please try following code in your new view controller:

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    // this hides navigation back button 
    [self.navigationItem setHidesBackButton:YES];
}

this will hide the back button and user could not able to navigate back.
