UINavigationItem titleView position

Question

I\'m using UINavigationItem\'s titleView property to set a custom UILabel with my desired font size/color. Here\'s my code:

self.headerLabel = [[UILabel alloc] i

I have a same problem; I just somehow solved this issue by calculating the title length and set the label frame width accordingly. Although this is not a perfect one but can be manageable. Here is the code.

label = [[UILabel alloc] init];
label.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
label.font = [ UIFont fontWithName: @"XXII DIRTY-ARMY" size: 32.0 ];
label.shadowColor = [UIColor colorWithWhite:0.0 alpha:0.0f];
label.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;
label.textColor =[UIColor orangeColor];
//label.text=categoryTitle;
CGFloat verticalOffset = 2; 
NSString *reqSysVer = @"5.0";
NSString *currSysVer = [[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion];
if ([currSysVer compare:reqSysVer options:NSNumericSearch] != NSOrderedAscending)           
{
    if (categoryTitle.length > 8)
    {
    label.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 300, 44);
    }else {
        label.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 80, 44);
    }

    self.navigationItem.titleView = label;  
     self.navigationItem.title=label.text;
    [[UINavigationBar appearance] setTitleVerticalPositionAdjustment:verticalOffset   forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];
     [[UIBarButtonItem appearance] setTintColor:[UIColor newBrownLight]];
