I've been trying the following in order to get the title of a navigation bar left aligned:
In the AppDelegate.swift
file:
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
// Override point for customization after application launch.
UINavigationBar.appearance().barTintColor = UIColor.red
UINavigationBar.appearance().titleTextAttributes = [NSForegroundColorAttributeName:
UIColor.white]
return true
}
In a TableViewController.swift
file:
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(animated)
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.topItem?.title = "Home"
}
but nothing I find solves the problem. I also tried the following that I found on here which does not show anything:
in the AppDelegate.swift
file:
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
// Override point for customization after application launch.
UINavigationBar.appearance().barTintColor = UIColor.red
UINavigationBar.appearance().titleTextAttributes = [NSForegroundColorAttributeName:
UIColor.white]
let lbNavTitle = UILabel (frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 40, width: 320, height: 40))
lbNavTitle.center = CGPoint(x: 160, y: 285)
lbNavTitle.textAlignment = .left
lbNavTitle.text = "Home"
self.navigationItem.titleView = lbNavTitle
In a TableViewController.swift
file:
override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewDidAppear(animated)
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.topItem?.title = "Home"
let lbNavTitle = UILabel (frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 320, height: 40))
lbNavTitle.backgroundColor = UIColor.red
lbNavTitle.textColor = UIColor.black
lbNavTitle.numberOfLines = 0
lbNavTitle.center = CGPoint(x: 0, y: 0)
lbNavTitle.textAlignment = .left
lbNavTitle.text = "Home"
let string = NSMutableAttributedString ("Title/nSubTitle")
self.navigationItem.titleView = lbNavTitle
}
Go to the ViewController. swift file and add the ViewDidAppear method. a nav helper variable which saves typing. the Navigation Bar Style is set to black and the tint color is set to yellow, this will change the bar button items to yellow.
Start with Navigation ControllerCreate a single view application in Xcode. Add two view controller into your storyboard. Create two different swift files for those view controllers and set identifiers for them. Take a button in each view controller, set constrain for them and customize as you want.
You need to open the storyboard, delete the view controller that you have, press cmd , shift , l , and then search for navigation controller . Drag that onto the storyboard. You now need to click on the navigation controller and set it to be the is initial view controller under the attributes inspector .
let label = UILabel()
label.textColor = UIColor.white
label.text = "TCO_choose_reminder".localized;
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem.init(customView: label)
I init a UIBarButtonItem with the constructor that gets a UIView and set my desired label as parameter to get the following.
Edit:
If you do not want the back button to be removed. Set the following flag.
self.navigationItem.leftItemsSupplementBackButton = true
Keep in mind that having a label + Back button (with title) would not look cool.In this case I replace the default back button with an arrow asset.
You can use the navigationItems titleView to add a UILabel with left alignment and then set its frame using auto layout like this:
let label = UILabel()
label.text = "Title Label"
label.textAlignment = .left
self.navigationItem.titleView = label
label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
label.superview?.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: label, attribute: .centerX, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: label.superview, attribute: .centerX, multiplier: 1, constant: 0))
label.superview?.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: label, attribute: .width, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: label.superview, attribute: .width, multiplier: 1, constant: 0))
label.superview?.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: label, attribute: .centerY, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: label.superview, attribute: .centerY, multiplier: 1, constant: 0))
label.superview?.addConstraint(NSLayoutConstraint(item: label, attribute: .height, relatedBy: .equal, toItem: label.superview, attribute: .height, multiplier: 1, constant: 0))
