Cant set image for UIBarButtonItem

ios, iphone, objective-c, uibarbuttonitem, uitableview

Solution

try this ... change it's method, image according to you

UIButton *button1=[UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[button1 setFrame:CGRectMake(10.0, 2.0, 45.0, 40.0)];
[button1 addTarget:self action:@selector(showLeft:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[button1 setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"left-arrow-button.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
UIBarButtonItem *button = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithCustomView:button1];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = button;

Problem

I'm trying to set image for my UIBarButtonItem and I can't manage to do that. I tried two times, and in first case I get my image in right place, but when I click on button nothing happens (it should pop out a new window, but nothing works). There is the piece of code I have used: ``` UIImage *faceImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"plus_button.png"]; UIButton *face = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom]; face.bounds = CGRectMake( 0, 0, faceImage.size.width, faceImage.size.height ); [face setImage:faceImage forState:UIControlStateNormal]; UIBarButtonItem *faceBtn = [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:face]initWithImage:faceImage style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:@selector(addProduct:)]; self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = faceBtn; ``` In second case, I set image on button and new window appears as it should be, but there is not only my custom image I want, but also it show "borders", it looks like image was put in center on default button. Obviously I want only my image, not borders, only my image. There is piece of code I have used in second case: ``` UIBarButtonItem *addButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithImage:faceImage style:UIBarStyleDefault target:self action:@selector(addProduct:)]; self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = addButton; ``` Please help me to solve the problem, any help would be appreciated, thank you!
