UINavigationItem centering the title

Question

I have a navigationBar with both Left and Right bar buttons on each side. I have a customTitlelabel which I set as the titleView of the UINavigationItem

Answer 1

I had a similar situation where a titleView should be centered in UINavigationBar. I like occulus's approach of subclassing a UIView and overriding setFrame:. Then, I can center the frame inside the dimensions of UINavigationBar.

In the UIView subclass:

-(void)setFrame:(CGRect)frame{
  super.frame = CGRectMake(320 / 2 - 50, 44 / 2 - 15, 100, 30);
}

The UIView subclass can then be assigned normally to titleView for each navigationItem. The developer does not have to programmatically add and remove special subviews from UINavigationBar.
