How do I turn off large titles for UINavigationBar?

Question

I have a UITableView and a Detail View embedded in a UINavigationController as so: I would like to turn on large titles for "My Notes" but I'd like to turn it off for the detail view. Something like how the default Mail app works on iPhone. How would I change the navigation bar's prefersLargeTitle property during that segue?

Answer 1

it's very simple.

In your DetailView you should set navigationItem.largeTitleDisplayMode to .never

(not navigationController?.navigationItem.largeTitleDisplayMode !!)

navigationItem.largeTitleDisplayMode = .never

Answer 2

SwiftUI version

.navigationBarTitle("Title", displayMode: .inline)

Answer 3

Any one of both of following, will solve your problem:

1. set prefersLargeTitles to false for your navigationBar

   self.navigationController?.navigationBar.prefersLargeTitles = false
   

2. set largeTitleDisplayMode to never for navigationItem (note: prefersLargeTitles must be false otherwise this won't work)

   self.navigationController?.navigationItem.largeTitleDisplayMode = .never
   

Note: if prefersLargeTitles is true, then largeTitleDisplayMode = .never won't work. Small title display for navigation bar is dependent on prefersLargeTitles

This will enable large title mode if it's value is true

self.navigationController?.navigationBar.prefersLargeTitles = true
