using image or tint color on uinavigationbar in iphone?

Question

how do i show a background image on a navigation bar or give tint color to the navigation bar in a native iphone application??

Answer 1

For iOS5 use the following lines of code:

UINavigationBar *navBar = [[self navigationController] navigationBar];
UIImage *backgroundImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"nav-bar-background-normal"];
[navBar setBackgroundImage:backgroundImage forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault];

For backward compatibility do a check to see if the navigation bar responds to setBackgroundImage:forBarMetrics:
