Question

I’ve tried everything I can think of here.

self.navigationBar = [[UINavigationBar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 44)];
self.navigationBar.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth;
    self.navigationBar.topItem.title = @"Title";
    self.navigationItem.title = @"Title";
    self.title = @"Title";
    self.navigationBar.topItem.titleView.backgroundColor = [UIColor blueColor];
    self.navigationController.navigationBar.topItem.title = @"Title";
[self.view addSubview:self.navigationBar];

I’ve tried all of these in the hope that one would work, but none of them have. How do i change the title of this navigation bar? This is inside the init method of a UIViewController.

You need to set your custom NavigationBar’s items array. You should pass in an array with one item that has your specified title:

UINavigationBar *bar = [[[UINavigationBar alloc] init] autorelease];

UINavigationItem *navItem = [[[UINavigationItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Title"] autorelease];
bar.items = [NSArray arrayWithObject:navItem];
