iOS 7 - navigation bar item text color

Question

I'm having an issue with text color of navigation bar item on iOS7.

All things are fine until I present a viewcontroller, from this time, all navigation bar items text color are Grey. Do you have any experience with this issue?

The codes used to present VC:

[passcodePopover presentPopoverFromRect:CGRectMake([UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.width/2 ,currentWindow.frame.size.height/2,1,1)
                                     inView:currentWindow
                   permittedArrowDirections:0 animated:NO];[passcodePopover presentPopoverFromRect:CGRectMake([UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.width/2 ,currentWindow.frame.size.height/2,1,1)
                                     inView:currentWindow
                   permittedArrowDirections:0 animated:NO];

Answer 1

//call the below code in ViewDidLoad /It works fine in iOS7

UILabel *navLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0, 320, 100)];
navLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
navLabel.text = @"Event Details";
navLabel.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
navLabel.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0, -2);
[navLabel setFont:[UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:16]];
navLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
self.navigationItem.titleView = navLabel;

Answer 2

UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero] ;
label.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
label.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:20.0]; // font size
label.shadowColor = [UIColor colorWithWhite:0.0 alpha:0.5];
label.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;

label.textColor = [UIColor yellowColor]; // change this color
self.navigationItem.titleView = label;
label.text = NSLocalizedString(@"Product Info.", @""); // lable name
[label sizeToFit];

Answer 3

[[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:
   [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:[UIColor whiteColor],
   NSForegroundColorAttributeName,[UIColor whiteColor],
   NSForegroundColorAttributeName,[NSValue valueWithUIOffset:UIOffsetMake(0, -1)],
   NSForegroundColorAttributeName,[UIFont fontWithName:@"Arial-Bold" size:0.0],
   NSFontAttributeName,nil]];

Answer 4

In the passcodePopover's viewdidLoad method you will want to use this code.

self.navigationController.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
NSDictionary *textTitleOptions = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:[UIColor whiteColor], NSForegroundColorAttributeName, nil];
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setTitleTextAttributes:textTitleOptions];

If you don't have a navigationController in your popover you will have to change the code slightly, also you may not want to use [UIColor whiteColor]. Instead substitute your own choice of color.

Answer 5

use below code in viewdid Load function

  if (floor(NSFoundationVersionNumber) <= NSFoundationVersionNumber_iOS_6_1) {

        // Load resources for iOS 6.1 or earlier
         [[UINavigationBar appearance]setTintColor:NavigationColor];
    } else
     {
         [[UINavigationBar appearance]setTintColor:[UIColor whiteColor]]; // it set color of bar button item text 
    }

Answer 6

create a category instead:

@implementation UINavigationBar (custom)
- (void)setCustomNavigationBar: (NSString *)_strTitle
{
    [self setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"navigationbar"] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];

    UILabel *_lblTitle = [[UILabel alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 100, 30)];
    _lblTitle.text = _strTitle;
    _lblTitle.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
    [_lblTitle setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
    [_lblTitle setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:kAppFontBold size:kAppFontBoldSize]];
    [_lblTitle setTextColor:[UIColor navigationBarColor]];
    [[self topItem] setTitleView:_lblTitle];
}

Where kAppFontBold and kAppFontBoldSize are macros.

Answer 7

You can use this. It may help you.. Here I've set font and text color for two states.

[barItemForIndex setTitleTextAttributes:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
                                                    [UIFont systemFontOfSize:Tabbar_Item_Font_Size], NSFontAttributeName,
                                                    [UIColor darkGrayColor], NSForegroundColorAttributeName,
                                                    nil] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[barItemForIndex setTitleTextAttributes:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
                                                    [UIFont systemFontOfSize:Tabbar_Item_Font_Size], NSFontAttributeName,
                                                    [UIColor whiteColor], NSForegroundColorAttributeName,
                                                    nil] forState:UIControlStateSelected];

Note : setTitleTextAttributes: method only available ios5.0+.
