How to add an image on UINavigationBar

Question

How do i add a small image on a UINavigationBar ? It should display in front of the title. Its small and 40X40 pixel in size.

noteL: I don't want to add an image to the background to add this tiny image. Furthermore this should work for both iOS4 and 5

On a Navigation bar you can set both right and left buttons like this:

UIImage * myIcon = [UIImage imageNamed:@"icon.png"];

[self.navigationItem setLeftBarButtonItem:[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:myIcon
    style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:@selector(someAction:)]];

To the right button just message setRightBarButtonItem

I would only need an image, not a button. – Illep Feb 13 '12 at 23:57

Then this should work: self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:yourImg style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:target action:@selector(someAction:) ]; – Andre Cytryn Feb 14 '12 at 19:49
