Modern approach
The modern way, for the entire navigation controller… do this once, when your navigation controller's root view is loaded.
[self.navigationController.navigationBar setTitleTextAttributes:
@{NSForegroundColorAttributeName:[UIColor yellowColor]}];
However, this doesn't seem have an effect in subsequent views.
Classic approach
The old way, per view controller (these constants are for iOS 6, but if want to do it per view controller on iOS 7 appearance you'll want the same approach but with different constants):
You need to use a UILabel
as the titleView
of the navigationItem
.
The label should:
- Have a clear background color (
label.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor]
).
- Use bold 20pt system font (
label.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize: 20.0f]
).
- Have a shadow of black with 50% alpha (
label.shadowColor = [UIColor colorWithWhite:0.0 alpha:0.5]
).
- You'll want to set the text alignment to centered as well (
label.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter
(UITextAlignmentCenter
for older SDKs).
Set the label text color to be whatever custom color you'd like. You do want a color that doesn't cause the text to blend into shadow, which would be difficult to read.
I worked this out through trial and error, but the values I came up with are ultimately too simple for them not to be what Apple picked. :)
If you want to verify this, drop this code into initWithNibName:bundle:
in PageThreeViewController.m
of Apple's NavBar sample. This will replace the text with a yellow label. This should be indistinguishable from the original produced by Apple's code, except for the color.
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
if (self)
{
// this will appear as the title in the navigation bar
UILabel *label = [[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero] autorelease];
label.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
label.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:20.0];
label.shadowColor = [UIColor colorWithWhite:0.0 alpha:0.5];
label.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentCenter;
// ^-Use UITextAlignmentCenter for older SDKs.
label.textColor = [UIColor yellowColor]; // change this color
self.navigationItem.titleView = label;
label.text = NSLocalizedString(@"PageThreeTitle", @"");
[label sizeToFit];
}
return self;
}
Edit: Also, read Erik B's answer below. My code shows the effect, but his code offers a simpler way to drop this into place on an existing view controller.
You will only need a ScrollView
if the contents you have now do not fit in the iPhone screen. (If you are adding the ScrollView
as the superview of the components just to make the TextField
scroll up when keyboard comes up, then it's not needed.)
The standard way to prevent the TextField
s from being covered by the keyboard is to move the view up/down whenever the keyboard is shown.
Here is some sample code:
#define kOFFSET_FOR_KEYBOARD 80.0
-(void)keyboardWillShow {
// Animate the current view out of the way
if (self.view.frame.origin.y >= 0)
{
[self setViewMovedUp:YES];
}
else if (self.view.frame.origin.y < 0)
{
[self setViewMovedUp:NO];
}
}
-(void)keyboardWillHide {
if (self.view.frame.origin.y >= 0)
{
[self setViewMovedUp:YES];
}
else if (self.view.frame.origin.y < 0)
{
[self setViewMovedUp:NO];
}
}
-(void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)sender
{
if ([sender isEqual:mailTf])
{
//move the main view, so that the keyboard does not hide it.
if (self.view.frame.origin.y >= 0)
{
[self setViewMovedUp:YES];
}
}
}
//method to move the view up/down whenever the keyboard is shown/dismissed
-(void)setViewMovedUp:(BOOL)movedUp
{
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:0.3]; // if you want to slide up the view
CGRect rect = self.view.frame;
if (movedUp)
{
// 1. move the view's origin up so that the text field that will be hidden come above the keyboard
// 2. increase the size of the view so that the area behind the keyboard is covered up.
rect.origin.y -= kOFFSET_FOR_KEYBOARD;
rect.size.height += kOFFSET_FOR_KEYBOARD;
}
else
{
// revert back to the normal state.
rect.origin.y += kOFFSET_FOR_KEYBOARD;
rect.size.height -= kOFFSET_FOR_KEYBOARD;
}
self.view.frame = rect;
[UIView commitAnimations];
}
- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewWillAppear:animated];
// register for keyboard notifications
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:@selector(keyboardWillShow)
name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification
object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:@selector(keyboardWillHide)
name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification
object:nil];
}
- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated
{
[super viewWillDisappear:animated];
// unregister for keyboard notifications while not visible.
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self
name:UIKeyboardWillShowNotification
object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:self
name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification
object:nil];
}
