UINavigationBar - Set title programmatically?

Solution 1:

I've set the title programmatically using code something like this:

navBar.topItem.title = @"title";

where navBar is declared as an IBOutlet UINavigationBar linked to the navigation bar in interface builder. This worked in my app; however, I was not using a tab bar.

If navBar.topItem is the tab bar item, I don't see a way for you to change the title that appears on the navigation bar without also changing the title on the tab bar item, since the navBar's topItem and the tab bar item is the same object.

Solution 2:

Use

self.navigationItem.title = @"the title";

as setting navBar.topItem.title will not work in all circumstances.

Solution 3:

Use this :

    CGRect navBarFrame = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.tableView.frame.size.width, 44.0);
    UINavigationBar *navBar = [[UINavigationBar alloc] initWithFrame:navBarFrame];

    UINavigationItem *navItem = [UINavigationItem alloc];
    navItem.title = @"Your Title";

    [navBar pushNavigationItem:navItem animated:false];

[self.view addSubView:navBar]; 

or

self.tableView.tableHeaderView = navBar; etc

Solution 4:

If the class is a type of UIViewController, then you can set title as given in the viewDidLoad method.

    [self setTitle:@"My Title"];
