How do I make the rightBarButtonItem STAY when a view controller is pushed on?

Question

When I push a view onto my view controller

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView
        didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
  AnotherViewController *anotherViewController = 
      [[AnotherViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"AnotherView" bundle:nil];
  [self.navigationController pushViewController:anotherViewController animated:YES];
}

the RIGHT BUTTON ITEM of the navigationController DISAPPEARS.

Is there a way to make the self.navigationController.rightBarButtonItem STAY THERE like in the "Notes" application that comes with the iPhone?

Answer 1

I don't believe you can without using undocumented classes. However, if you set the rightBarButtonItem property to an item that looks the same, there shouldn't be a big difference.
