Question

This is what I did so far:

• I created a new view based iPhone application
• I added a navigation bar to the xib file

How do I set the title of this navigation bar?

• If I try [self setTitle:@"Test"] in viewDidLoad, the title of the navigation bar doesn’t change, but rather it remains “Title”.
• If I try [[self navigationItem] setTitle:@"Test"], the title becomes empty.

How can I change this title?

Answer 1

If the view was pushed onto the navigation stack, then

[[self navigationItem] setTitle:@"Test"];

should exactly work. However, since you created the bar in the xib file, try making an IBOutlet for it, and then access the title property through the pointer.
