More than 1 rightBarButtonItem on navigation bar

Question

I would like to have two rightBarButtonItems on navigation bar. One for Edit and the other for Add.

Obviously I can\'t make it using Interface Builder.

Answer 1

You can do it from Interface Builder. What I have done in my app - just added UIView on left Item of navigation bar and placed 3 buttons in this view and connected their action. You can follow this to add more than one button in left/right navigation item.

Answer 2

Heres an example of how you can add two buttons as the rightbarbutton. The code below creates a segmentedcontrol containing up and down arrow buttons, which is then added as a customview for navigation's rightbarbutton:

UISegmentedControl* segmentedControl = [[UISegmentedControl alloc] initWithItems:[NSArray array]];
    [segmentedControl setMomentary:YES];
    [segmentedControl insertSegmentWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"icon-triangle-up.png"] atIndex:0 animated:NO];
    [segmentedControl insertSegmentWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"icon-triangle-down.png"] atIndex:1 animated:NO];
    segmentedControl.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth;
    segmentedControl.segmentedControlStyle = UISegmentedControlStyleBar;
    [segmentedControl addTarget:self action:@selector(segmentedAction:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];

    UIBarButtonItem * segmentBarItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView: segmentedControl];
    self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = segmentBarItem;

if someone is passing by, here is the swift answer :

let barButton_array: [UIBarButtonItem] = [Button1, Button2]
navigationItem.setRightBarButtonItems(barButton_array, animated: false)
