You can change the global tint color in your storyboard by clicking on an empty space on the board and select in the right toolbar “Show the file inspector”, and you will see in the bottom of the toolbar the “Global Tint” option.
As of iOS 11, the Human Interface Guidelines suggest glyphs be about 25×25 points in toolbars and navigation bars, up to a maximum of about 28 points. (And the HIG should definitely be in your bookmarks if you’re working on iOS apps!) That would translate to images 25px square for older devices like iPad 2 … Read more
I know this post is pretty old but with iOS7, MKNumberBadgeView’s appearance does not really match the tab bar item badge design. I have found this other component which herits UIBarButtonItem and do the job very well : https://github.com/TanguyAladenise/BBBadgeBarButtonItem Hope this may help other iOS7 developers like me
You can init the UIBarButtonItem with a custom view that has both image and text. Here’s a sample that uses a UIButton. UIImage *chatImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@”08-chat.png”]; UIButton *chatButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom]; [chatButton setBackgroundImage:chatImage forState:UIControlStateNormal]; [chatButton setTitle:@”Chat” forState:UIControlStateNormal]; chatButton.frame = (CGRect) { .size.width = 100, .size.height = 30, }; UIBarButtonItem *barButton= [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:chatButton] autorelease]; … Read more
I have achieved that programatically with this code: import UIKit class ViewController: UIViewController { override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() //create a new button let button: UIButton = UIButton.buttonWithType(UIButtonType.Custom) as! UIButton //set image for button button.setImage(UIImage(named: “fb.png”), forState: UIControlState.Normal) //add function for button button.addTarget(self, action: “fbButtonPressed”, forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside) //set frame button.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 53, 31) … Read more
This code creates a back button for UINavigationBar with image background and custom position. The trick is to create an intermediate view and modify its bounds. Swift 5 let menuBtn = UIButton(type: .custom) let backBtnImage = UIImage(named: “menu”) menuBtn.setBackgroundImage(backBtnImage, for: .normal) menuBtn.addTarget(self, action: #selector(showMenuTapped), for: .touchUpInside) menuBtn.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 45, height: … Read more
Save your button in a strong outlet (let’s call it myButton) and do this to add/remove it: // Get the reference to the current toolbar buttons NSMutableArray *toolbarButtons = [self.toolbarItems mutableCopy]; // This is how you remove the button from the toolbar and animate it [toolbarButtons removeObject:self.myButton]; [self setToolbarItems:toolbarButtons animated:YES]; // This is how you … Read more
Have a look into this [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:yourCustomView]; Essentially every item must be a “button” but they can be instantiated with any view you require. Here is some example code. Note, since other buttons are typically on the toolbar, spacers are placed on each side of the title button so it stays centered. NSMutableArray *items … Read more
Custom button image without setting button frame: You can use init(image: UIImage?, style: UIBarButtonItemStyle, target: Any?, action: Selector?) to initializes a new item using the specified image and other properties. let button1 = UIBarButtonItem(image: UIImage(named: “imagename”), style: .plain, target: self, action: Selector(“action”)) // action:#selector(Class.MethodName) for swift 3 self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = button1 Check this Apple Doc. reference … Read more
I was also facing this problem. I also have feelings that in iOS 7 there is more space. And I figured out that this is about 10 points more. I usually use negative spaces when I want for LeftBarItemButton to start from the edge. This can be useful for you as well. UIBarButtonItem *negativeSpacer = … Read more
