UINavigationBar - Set title programmatically?

Question

I have a tab bar application with a different view on each tab. Each view has a UINavigationBar with title set on Interface Builder. I want to change the title based on a cl

Answer 1

Use

self.navigationItem.title = @"the title";

as setting navBar.topItem.title will not work in all circumstances.

Answer 2

Create IBOutlet of UINavigationBar

navigationBar.topItem.title = @"Title";

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

I achieved this way in Swift 5

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    navigationItem.title = "Title"
}

Answer 4

You can also just set the title in the ViewDidLoad under your ViewController or TableViewController using

_title = @"Title";

or

self.title = @"Title";

Answer 5

I used the following:

self.navigationController.navigationBar.topItem.title = @"Title";

However, I also had to call it in a dispatch block as it wouldn't change the title when called within the viewDidLoad w/o it.

Answer 6

Note that in order for the title to show up AT ALL the Navigation Controller's delegate MUST be set to the navigation bar itself or the title will NEVER show!
