Customized Right Button on Navbar

Hello, I am trying to have a custom right button which will display an image followed by some green text. Simple example would be "Arrow Image" Next (in green text) Using the following code I can get the "green text" UIBarButtonItem *myRightButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", _value] style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:nil]; [self.navigationItem setRightBarButtonItem:myRightButton]; self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem.tintColor = [UIColor greenColor]; How can I get an image before the "green text" also where will I place the image e.g. BT_images? Is this even do-able? Many thanks. Z

Hey zed, welcome. Yes it's totally doable, you just need to 'repeat' what you've done there but define an image instead of your text and then string them together in whatever order you want the buttons to appear. eg if you want a system icon before or after your custom text button, plonk this in before or after (with whatever system icon you want): UIButton* infoButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeInfoLight]; [infoButton addTarget:self action:@selector(openTrustView) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside]; self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:infoButton]; If you're looking at using a custom image, then you'll need to add the image to Xcode manually by dragging it in as you would a new plugin. Makes sense to keep a folder of your custom images within your project just for good housekeeping. Then ref that image file like this with your own parameters: //Set the right nav button to a custom icon: UIBarButtonItem *myButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"special.png"] style:(UIBarButtonItemStylePlain) target:self action:@selector (doSomethingCool)]; NSArray *actionButtonItems = @[myButton]; self.navigationItem.RightBarButtonItems = actionButtonItems; That should work. Cheers Paddy.

... or have I misunderstood - do you want icon+text as one button? If so take a look at this: http://www.appcoda.com/customize-navigation-status-bar-ios-7/ there's some good stuff in there. Cheers Paddy

Hey Paddy, works like a charm. Many thanks mate. @Tyrone I am using it to customize the navigation bar of a plugin. In my case i decided to keep it in my 'plugin.m' file. Cheers Z
