如何将UILabel放置在导航栏的中心

Question

How to place UILabel in the center of navigation bar in XCode 6? Is it possible at all? I can place here, for example, UIButton , but unable to place UILabel . If no, what can I do then? Place a UIButton with the appropriate text and make it non-clickable?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

In Xcode 6 if you want to put a label inside the UINavigationBar firstly you have to put a UIView there then put the UILabel inside the UIView (this is from the Storyboard btw).

If you do not put the UIView first then the UILabel will never get put onto the UINavigationBar .

Answer 2

Create a UIView and add UILabel as it's subview and then set your NavigationItem 's titleView as previously created UIView.

UIView *view = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 150, 40)];
UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 150, 40)];
label.text = @"Hello";
label.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
[view addSubview:label];
self.navigationItem.titleView = view;

Note : Don't forget to set your own frame values to get better result.

Just make sure you try viewWillLayoutSubviews method instead of viewDidLoad that was what worked for me. Cheers!
