What I wanted to do is to remove the text from the 'Back' button of a UIBarButtonItem
, leaving only the blue chevron on the navigation bar. Keep in mind that I'm developing for iOS 7. I've tried several methods, including, but not limited to:
This is the image method which I did not like (the image looked out of place):
UIBarButtonItem *barBtnItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"iOS7BackButton"] style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:@selector(goToPrevious:)];
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = barBtnItem;
Another method I tried was this, which simply did not work (nothing was displayed):
UIBarButtonItem *barBtn = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]init];
barBtn.title=@"";
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem=barBtn;
What I wanted to achieve is something like the back buttons found in the iOS 7 Music app, which only featured a single chevron.
Thanks.
