Hiding UINavigationItem's bar button

Question

I have added a BarButton item to the left of the nav.bar through Interface Builder and in the code I want this only to show in my table view\'s edi

Answer 1

Well making it nil was not a option because i wanted to show it again and didnt want to create a button again.

so what i did was

 UIBarButtonItem *barButton =  (UIBarButtonItem *)self.navBar.topItem.leftBarButtonItem;
 barButton.customView.hidden = true;//Hide
 barButton.customView.hidden = false;//Show

Works for me. (my leftBarButtonItem was created using customView)

Hope it helps.
