Adding Navigation Bar programmatically iOS

ios, iphone, objective-c, swift, xcode

Solution

-(void)ViewDidLoad
{
 UINavigationBar* navbar = [[UINavigationBar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, 50)];

UINavigationItem* navItem = [[UINavigationItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"karthik"];
// [navbar setBarTintColor:[UIColor lightGrayColor]];
UIBarButtonItem* cancelBtn = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemCancel target:self action:@selector(onTapCancel:)];
navItem.leftBarButtonItem = cancelBtn;

UIBarButtonItem* doneBtn = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemDone target:self action:@selector(onTapDone:)];
navItem.rightBarButtonItem = doneBtn;

[navbar setItems:@[navItem]];
[self.view addSubview:navbar];
}


-(void)onTapDone:(UIBarButtonItem*)item{

}

-(void)onTapCancel:(UIBarButtonItem*)item{

}

Swift3

let navigationBar = UINavigationBar(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: view.frame.size.width, height:44)) // Offset by 20 pixels vertically to take the status bar into account

    navigationBar.backgroundColor = UIColor.white


    // Create a navigation item with a title
    let navigationItem = UINavigationItem()
    navigationItem.title = "Title"

    // Create left and right button for navigation item
     let leftButton =  UIBarButtonItem(title: "Save", style:   .plain, target: self, action: #selector(ViewController.btn_clicked(_:)))

    let rightButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Right", style: .plain, target: self, action: nil)

    // Create two buttons for the navigation item
    navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = leftButton
    navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = rightButton

    // Assign the navigation item to the navigation bar
    navigationBar.items = [navigationItem]

    // Make the navigation bar a subview of the current view controller
    self.view.addSubview(navigationBar)




func btn_clicked(_ sender: UIBarButtonItem) {
    // Do something
}

Swift

 // Create the navigation bar
    let navigationBar = UINavigationBar(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, 44)) // Offset by 20 pixels vertically to take the status bar into account

    navigationBar.backgroundColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
    navigationBar.delegate = self;

    // Create a navigation item with a title
    let navigationItem = UINavigationItem()
    navigationItem.title = "Title"

    // Create left and right button for navigation item
    let leftButton =  UIBarButtonItem(title: "Save", style:   UIBarButtonItemStyle.Plain, target: self, action: "btn_clicked:")
    let rightButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Right", style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.Plain, target: self, action: nil)

    // Create two buttons for the navigation item
    navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = leftButton
    navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = rightButton

    // Assign the navigation item to the navigation bar
    navigationBar.items = [navigationItem]

    // Make the navigation bar a subview of the current view controller
    self.view.addSubview(navigationBar)


  func btn_clicked(sender: UIBarButtonItem) {
  // Do something
 }

Problem

I am trying to make an App with a Navigation Bar (Back button, title, etc) and a Tab Bar (Toolbar on the bottom). I am using subviews so I don't have to worry about the status bar, navigation bar, tab bar heights, etc. But I think it's causing me trouble because I can't seem to figure out how to setup the Nav and Tab Bars. Here is what I have. What am I doing wrong? AppDelegate.h ``` (default for single view app) ``` AppDelegate.m ``` (default for single view app) ``` ViewController.h ``` #import <UIKit/UIKit.h> @interface ViewController : UIViewController @property (strong, nonatomic) UIView *contentSubview; @end ``` ViewController.m ``` #import "ViewController.h" @interface ViewController () @end @implementation ViewController - (void)loadView{} - (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad]; UIView *view = [[UIView alloc] init]; view.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor]; self.contentSubview = [[UIView alloc] init]; self.contentSubview.backgroundColor = [UIColor orangeColor]; [view addSubview:self.contentSubview]; self.view = view; } - (void)viewWillLayoutSubviews { [super viewWillLayoutSubviews]; self.contentSubview.frame = CGRectMake( 0, self.topLayoutGuide.length, CGRectGetWidth(self.view.frame), CGRectGetHeight(self.view.frame)-self.topLayoutGuide.length-self.bottomLayoutGuide.length ); } - (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning { [super didReceiveMemoryWarning]; // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated. } @end ```
