How to remove padding next to a UIBarButtonItem

Question

I have added a custom button to the navigation bar\'s custom right bar button item as shown in the image.

I\'m want to be able to remove the space after the button

Answer 1

You can do this by adding a UIView then add inside it your button with x=spaceWidth y = 0.

look at the below code for the right item (this is inside UINavigationItem category)

1 -

UIView *_rightView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 44, 44)]; [_rightView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor purpleColor]];//debug color

2-

    UIButton *aLeftButton = [[UIButton alloc] init];

   //...//

    aLeftButton.frame = CGRectMake(-15, 0, 44, 44);//in your case +15
    [aLeftButton setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:buttonName] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    [aLeftButton setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:[buttonName stringByAppendingString:@"Selected"]] forState:UIControlStateSelected];
    [aLeftButton setAdjustsImageWhenDisabled:NO];
    [aLeftButton setAdjustsImageWhenHighlighted:NO];

    [aLeftButton addTarget:theSender action:aSelector forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
    [_rightView addSubview:aLeftButton];
    UIBarButtonItem *aBarButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:_rightView];
    [leftBarButtonsItem addObject:aBarButton];`

self.leftBarButtonItem = leftBarButtonsItem;
