Iphone/Ipad Add Image and Text to Navigation Title

Question

I am simply trying to add an image and text to the navigationItem title. This is what I am doing, but it only shows the image and not the title. This seems like it would be pretty easy.

Example (

self.navigationItem.titleView = [[[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"logo_small_white.png"]] autorelease];
self.navigationItem.title = @"Company";

Answer 1

Here is my code:

UIView *myView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame: CGRectMake(0, 0, 300, 30)]; 
UILabel *title = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame: CGRectMake(40, 0, 300, 30)];

title.text = NSLocalizedString(@"My Title", nil);
[title setTextColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
[title setFont:[UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:20.0]];

[title setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"MyLogo.png"];
UIImageView *myImageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:image];

myImageView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 30, 30); 
myImageView.layer.cornerRadius = 5.0;
myImageView.layer.masksToBounds = YES;
myImageView.layer.borderColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor].CGColor;
myImageView.layer.borderWidth = 0.1;

[myView addSubview:title];
[myView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor  clearColor]];
[myView addSubview:myImageView];
self.navigationItem.titleView = myView;

By setting a custom title view, you're replacing the standard view that normally shows the title text. From the documentation for titleView in UINavigationItem:

If you set this property to a custom title, it is displayed instead of the title.

So you need to add your own view (possibly a UILabel) to display your title — one way of doing this would be to add a UILabel and the UIImageView above as subviews of a container UIView, and set that as the titleView.
