iPhone Setting Navigation Bar Title

Question

Hey all   I m still pretty new to iPhone development  and I m having a bit of trouble figuring out how to change the title of my Navigation Bar   On another question on this site somebody recommended using    viewController title     title text     but that isn t working for me   Do I need to add a UINavigationController to accomplish this   Or maybe just an outlet from my UIViewController subclass   If it helps  I defined the navigation bar in IB and I m trying to set its title in my UIViewController subclass   This is another one of those simple things that gives me a headache   Putting self title     title text   in viewDidLoad and initWithNibName didn t work either   Anybody know what s happening and how to get it happening right   Thanks

By default the navigation controller displays the title of the 'topitem'

so in your viewdidload method of your appdelegate you can. I tested it and it works

navController.navigationBar.topItem.title = @"Test";

if you are doing it all by code in the viewDidLoad method of the UIViewController you should only add self title     title text    something like this   -  void viewDidLoad        super viewDidLoad       self title     title       you could also try self navigationItem title     title    also check if your navigationItem is not null and if you have set a custom background to the navigationbar check if the title is set without it

The view controller must be a child of some UINavigationController for the  title property to take effect  If the UINavigationBar is simply a view  you need to push a navigation item containing the title  or modify the last navigation item   UINavigationItem  item     UINavigationItem alloc  initWithTitle   title text         bar pushNavigationItem item animated YES    item release     or  bar topItem title     title text

For all your Swift-ers out there  this worked perfectly for me  It s notably one of the shorter ways to accomplish setting the title  as well   override public func prepareForSegue segue  UIStoryboardSegue  sender  AnyObject       if segue identifier     presentLineItem        print  Setting Title       var vc   segue destinationViewController as  LineItemsTableViewController     vc navigationItem title    Line Item

I guess you need a dynamic title that is why you don t set it in IB   And I presume your viewController object is the one specified in the NIB   Perhaps trying setting it to a dummy value in IB and then debug the methods to see which controller has the dummy value - assuming it appears as the title

There s one issue with using self title     title    If you re using Navigation Bar along with Tab bar  the above line also changes the label for the Tab Bar Item  To avoid this  use what  testing suggested   self navigationItem title     MyTitle
