Changing frame size of UIImageView in navigation bar not working

Question

I am not able to change the size of my image in the navigation bar for some reason.

Here is my code:

private func setupNavigationBarItems() {

    let titleImageView = UIImageView(image: UIImage(named: "radius_image"))
    titleImageView.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 2, height: 2)
    titleImageView.contentMode = .scaleAspectFit
    navigationItem.titleView = titleImageView

}

It's as if the titleImageView.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 2, height: 2) line isn't even working.

Haven't found any recent solutions that would help.

Answer 1

UIImageView comes on top of UINavigation Bar title view. In your case you are not changing frame of navigation bar title view. Using a custom UIView & adding that instance on UINavigationBar item should solve your issue.

let titleView = UIView.init(frame: CGRect.init(x: 0, y: 0, width: 2, height: 2)) // Add your frames
let titleImageView = UIImageView(image: UIImage(named: "radius_image")) // Give your image name
titleImageView.frame = titleView.bounds
titleView.addSubview(titleImageView)
self.navigationItem.titleView = titleView
