1. set title on viewwillappear method

   - (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated{self.title = @"tes";}
   

2. set title on viewdidappear method

    - (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated{
    self.navigationController.navigationBar.topItem.title = @"YourTitle";

     }

here is the way how i moving to next screen

- (IBAction)btGenerateTokenAction:(id)sender {
    SofttokenResultController *controller = [[SofttokenResultController alloc] initWithNibName:@"SofttokenResultController" bundle:nil];

    controller.navigationController.navigationBar.backItem.title = @"Kembali";
    [ViewLoadingUtil animateToNextView:controller from:self :@""];
}

+ (void) animateToNextView:(UIViewController *)controller from:(UIViewController *)fromController :(NSString *)navTitle{

    NSLog(@"animateToNextView called");

    [fromController.navigationController pushViewController:controller animated:YES];
}

Answer 1

This solved my problem:

override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
        super.viewWillAppear(animated: animated)
        self.navigationItem.title="Title text"
}

Answer 2

In my case, it was the backItem?.title that was the problem. In both my view controller and within a custom subclass of UINavigationController I was setting it to an empty string:

func navigationController(_ navigationController: UINavigationController, willShow viewController: UIViewController, animated: Bool) {
    ...
    navigationController.navigationBar.backItem?.title = ""
}

My guess would be that when using popViewController(animated:) the title is taken from backItem?.title and set into the main title attribute.

Answer 3

In viewWillAppear implement this:

self.navigationItem.title="Title text";
