Navigationbar title and back button name are same?

Question

I created one title for navigationbar in my storyboard project ,but when I moved to next viewcontroller the back button shows the same name as my previous navigationbar(Main navigationbar) title.? Can i set separate title and back button names?

I tried following code but its not working ? why?

 self.navigationItem.title=@"Recent Books";
self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem.title=@"Back";

Answer 1

According to UINavigationItem Class Reference

"When this navigation item is immediately below the top item in the stack, the navigation controller derives the back button for the navigation bar from this navigation item. [...] If you want to specify a custom image or title for the back button, you can assign a custom bar button item (with your custom title or image) to this property instead."

So try this in your first VC from where you are pushing other VC

self.navigationItem.title=@"Recent Books";
UIBarButtonItem *backButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]
                                   initWithTitle:@"Back"
                                   style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain
                                   target:nil
                                   action:nil];
self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem=backButton;
