How to place UILabel in the center of navigation bar

Question

How to place UILabel in the center of navigation bar in XCode 6? Is it possible at all? I can place here, for example, UIButton, but unable to place UILabel. If no, what can I do then? Place a UIButton with the appropriate text and make it non-clickable?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Create a UIView and add UILabel as it's subview and then set your NavigationItem's titleView as previously created UIView.

UIView *view = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 150, 40)];
UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 150, 40)];
label.text = @"Hello";
label.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
[view addSubview:label];
self.navigationItem.titleView = view;

Note: Don't forget to set your own frame values to get better result.
