navigationController title

Question

I am working on an app with a navigation controller. I know how to set the title when the view loads initially. I push a new view controller and set it's title. Now the problem is when I press the back button, the title for the original view controller is not there anymore. I tried to do...

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

This did not set the title though. Does anyone know what I can do?

Answer 1

The UINavigationController gets the value for the title from the current UIViewController.

To set a the title for a view Controller, simply do the following:

- (void)viewDidLoad {

   [super viewDidLoad];
   self.title = @"Some Title";
}

For each of your View Controllers, including the root one.

Answer 2

Try changing the navigation item's title.

[self.navigationItem setTitle:@"Some Title"];
