I\'m trying to add a label to my toolbar. Button works great, however when I add the label object, it crashes. Any ideas?

UIBarButtonItem *setDateRangeButton

    For those using Interface Builder to layout your UIToolBar, it is also possible to do this using Interface Builder alone.

    To add a UILabel to a UIToolBar you need to add a generic UIView object to your UIToolBar in IB by dragging a new UIView object over your UIToolBar. IB will automatically create a UIBarButtonItem that will be initialized with your custom UIView. Next add a UILabel to the UIView and edit the UILabel graphically to match your preferred style. You can then visually set up your fixed and/or variable spacers as desired to position your UILabel appropriately.

    You must also set the background of both the UILabel and the UIView to clearColor to get the UIToolBar to show through correctly under the UILabel.

    I found answerBot's answer very useful, but I think I found an even easier way, in Interface Builder:

    • create a UIBarButtonItem and add it to your Toolbar in Interface Builder

    enter image description here

    • Uncheck "enabled" for this BarButtonItem

    enter image description here

    • plug this BarButtonItem to a property in your class (this is in Swift, but would be very similar in Obj-C):

      @IBOutlet private weak var lastUpdateButton: UIBarButtonItem! // Dummy barButtonItem whose customView is lastUpdateLabel
      
    • add another property for the Label itself:

      private var lastUpdateLabel = UILabel(frame: CGRectZero)
      
    • in viewDidLoad, add the following code to set the properties of your label, and add it as the customView of your BarButtonItem

      // Dummy button containing the date of last update
      lastUpdateLabel.sizeToFit()
      lastUpdateLabel.backgroundColor = UIColor.clearColor()
      lastUpdateLabel.textAlignment = .Center
      lastUpdateButton.customView = lastUpdateLabel
      
    • To update the UILabel text:

      lastUpdateLabel.text = "Updated: 9/12/14, 2:53"
      lastUpdateLabel.sizeToFit() 
      

    Result :

    enter image description here

    You have to call lastUpdateLabel.sizetoFit() each time you update the label text

    Similar to Matt R I used interface builder. But I wanted to have 1 UIWebView inside instead so that i can have some text bolded and other text not (like the mail app). So

    1. Add the webview instead.
    2. Uncheck opaque
    3. Make sure background is clear color
    4. Hook everything up with IBOutlet
    5. Use the below html to have a transparent background so the toolbar shines through

    Code:

    NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath];
    NSURL *baseURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];
    NSString *html = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"<html><head><style>body{font-size:11px;text-align:center;background-color:transparent;color:#fff;font-family:helvetica;vertical-align:middle;</style> </head><body><b>Updated</b> 10/11/12 <b>11:09</b> AM</body></html>"];
    [myWebView loadHTMLString:html baseURL:baseURL];

    One of the things I'm using this trick for is to instantiate a UIActivityIndicatorView on top of the UIToolBar, something that otherwise wouldn't be possible. For instance here I have a UIToolBar with 2 UIBarButtonItem, a FlexibleSpaceBarButtonItem, and then another UIBarButtonItem. I want to insert a UIActivityIndicatorView into the UIToolBar between the flexible space and the final (right-hand) button. So in my RootViewController I do the following,

    - (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];// Add an invisible UIActivityViewIndicator to the toolbar
    UIToolbar *toolbar = (UIToolbar *)[self.view viewWithTag:767];
    NSArray *items = [toolbar items];
    
    activityIndicator = [[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, 20.0f, 20.0f)];
    [activityIndicator setActivityIndicatorViewStyle:UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleWhite];    
    
    NSArray *newItems = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:[items objectAtIndex:0],[items objectAtIndex:1],[items objectAtIndex:2],
                         [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:activityIndicator], [items objectAtIndex:3],nil];
    [toolbar setItems:newItems];}

    Try this:

    UILabel *label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(140 , 0, 50, 250)];
    [label setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
    label.text = @"TEXT";
    UIView *view = (UIView *) label;
    [self.barItem setCustomView:view];
    

    Note: self.barItem is a UIBarButtonItem added from the object library and placed between two flexible spaces.

    another way is to remove the [self.barItem setCustom:view] line and change the parameters of the label (width) so that it fills the entire toolbar and set the alignment to middle and the font by yourself in code,

    Have a look into this

    [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:yourCustomView];
    

    Essentially every item must be a "button" but they can be instantiated with any view you require. Here is some example code. Note, since other buttons are typically on the toolbar, spacers are placed on each side of the title button so it stays centered.

    NSMutableArray *items = [[self.toolbar items] mutableCopy];
    
    UIBarButtonItem *spacer = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace target:nil action:nil];
    [items addObject:spacer];
    [spacer release];
    
    self.titleLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0 , 11.0f, self.view.frame.size.width, 21.0f)];
    [self.titleLabel setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica-Bold" size:18]];
    [self.titleLabel setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
    [self.titleLabel setTextColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:157.0/255.0 green:157.0/255.0 blue:157.0/255.0 alpha:1.0]];
    [self.titleLabel setText:@"Title"];
    [self.titleLabel setTextAlignment:NSTextAlignmentCenter];
    
    UIBarButtonItem *spacer2 = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace target:nil action:nil];
    [items addObject:spacer2];
    [spacer2 release];
    
    UIBarButtonItem *title = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:self.titleLabel];
    [items addObject:title];
    [title release];
    
    [self.toolbar setItems:items animated:YES];
    [items release];
