Hide back button in navigation bar with hidesBackButton in Swift

Question

I want to hide the back button when transitioning from one view to another. I read the questions regarding this problem and every answer was \"use hidesBackButton\"

Answer 1

To hide the back button with the latest Swift:

self.navigationItem.setHidesBackButton(true, animated: false)

Answer 2

this worked for me

navigationController?.navigationBar.topItem?.hidesBackButton = true

Answer 3

In XCode 11(maybe sooner, not sure), you can also untick the box under the attribute inspector tab in the storyboard editor if you're not looking to do it programatically.

Answer 4

You can use the code below to hide back button on UINavigationBar.

Swift 3;

override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillAppear(animated)
    self.navigationItem.hidesBackButton = true
}

Answer 5

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view.

    self.navigationController?.navigationBarHidden = false
    var button: UIButton = UIButton()
    button.setImage(UIImage(named: "person-icon.jpg"), forState: .Normal)
    button.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 25, 25)
    button.targetForAction("actioncall", withSender: nil)
    var rightItem:UIBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem()
    rightItem.customView = button
    self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = rightItem

    let backButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "", style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.Plain, target: navigationController, action: nil)
    navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = backButton
}

override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
    let backButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "", style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.Plain, target: navigationController, action: nil)
    navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = backButton
}

Answer 6

Try adding this:

let backButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "", style: .Plain, target: navigationController, action: nil)
navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = backButton
