Set title to implemented UINavigationBar

Question

My code:

@interface BIDMyClass ()

@end

@implementation BIDMyClass {
    UINavigationBar *settingsBar;
}

-(void)loadView {
    [super loadView];

    settingsBar = [[UINavigationBar alloc] init];
}

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    [settingsBar setFrame:CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, 293.0f, 44.0f)];
    [settingsBar.topItem setTitle:@"Settings"];
    [self.view addSubview:settingsBar];
}

settingsBar is added but there is no title on it. How can I fix it?

Answer 1

settingsBar.topItem is probably nil. Try setting the list of items on your settingsBar :

settingsBar.items = [NSArray arrayWithObject:[[[UINavigationItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Settings"] autorelease]];

Answer 2

Alternatively you may also declare your:

    IBOutlet UINavigationBar *navBar;

and connect in IB. Assuming you have an XIB file with the navBar on it.
