reduce left space and right space from navigation bar left and right bar button item
ios, navigationbar, xcode
Solution
UIBarButtonItem *negativeSpacer = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFixedSpace
target:nil action:nil];
negativeSpacer.width = -16;
[self.navigationItem setLeftBarButtonItems:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:negativeSpacer,yourbutton, nil] animated:YES];
Use like that.
Problem
I am adding two custom buttons on navigation bar. one at left and other at right. I am successfully done with it, but I failed to reduce the space between the starting point and frame of buttons. I tried a lot, also gave the negative value of x, still didn't helped. Here is the code for buttons ``` -(void)addLeftButton { UIButton *aButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom]; aButton.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor]; [aButton setTitle:@"H" forState:UIControlStateNormal]; aButton.frame = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 40, 40); [aButton setTitleColor:[UIColor blackColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal]; UIBarButtonItem *aBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:aButton]; [aButton addTarget:self action:@selector(backBtnClicked:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside]; [self.navigationItem setLeftBarButtonItem:aBarButtonItem]; } -(void)addRightButton { UIButton *aButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom]; aButton.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor]; [aButton setTitle:@"B" forState:UIControlStateNormal]; aButton.frame = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 40, 40); [aButton setTitleColor:[UIColor blackColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal]; UIBarButtonItem *aBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:aButton]; [aButton addTarget:self action:@selector(backBtnClicked:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside]; [self.navigationItem setRightBarButtonItem:aBarButtonItem]; } ``` Also tried using ``` aBarButtonItem.width = -16; ``` but didn't helped. How to achieve this...? Thanks in advance...
