blank Toolbar from setItems

Question

My UINavigationController toolbar is blank and no items show up on it. Here is my code

self.navigationController.toolbarHidden = NO;

UIToolbar* toolbar = self.navigationController.toolbar;
NSMutableArray *items = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
[items addObject:[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Test"
                                                  style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain
                                                 target:self
                                                 action:@selector(buttonPushed)]];
[toolbar setItems:items animated:YES];

Answer 1

That's not the proper way to setup the toolbar. UIViewController has a toolbarItems property. The nav controller will use that property to automatically populate its toolbar.

Your code should be:

self.navigationController.toolbarHidden = NO;

UIBarButtonItem *btnTest = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Test"
                                              style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain
                                             target:self
                                             action:@selector(buttonPushed)]];
self.toolbarItems = @[ btnTest ];
