Can I center a UIToolbar item?

Question

I am putting a label on a UIToolbar (per this tip: Adding a UILabel to a UIToolbar).

But the toolbar has a button on the left side, and so flexible spaces throw the labe

To center a text/title on a toolbar you can use a simple UILabel like see below:

UILabel *labelTitle = [[UILabel alloc] init];
labelTitle.font =[UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica-Bold" size:18];
labelTitle.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
labelTitle.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;
labelTitle.userInteractionEnabled = NO;
labelTitle.text = @"Your Title";
[labelTitle sizeToFit];
CGRect labelTitleFrame = labelTitle.frame;
labelTitleFrame.size.width = self.toolbar.bounds.size.width;
labelTitleFrame.origin.y = (self.toolbar.bounds.size.height - labelTitleFrame.size.height) / 2;
labelTitle.frame = labelTitleFrame;
labelTitle.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth;
// Just add UILabel like UIToolBar's subview 
[self.toolbar addSubview:labelTitle];
[labelTitle release];
labelTitle = nil;
