Back button not made on navigation bar

Question

I started out with a navigation based project and am pushing further views onto the controller. The problem is that if I do not give a title to the navigation item then the back

Answer 1

Just create the back button yourself:

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    UIBarButtonItem *back = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Back"
                                                             style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain
                                                            target:nil
                                                            action:nil];
    [[self navigationItem] setBackBarButtonItem:back];
    [back release];
}

(If you prefer dot notation, self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = back;)
