Adding background Image in UINavigationBar

Question

Hi all,

Is there a way to add an image in the background of UINavigationBar. There is no direct option through interface builder but I have seen apps implemented this thing.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Answer 1

Create a UIView and add it as a subview.

Answer 2

Just add your background as a subview, as jrtc27 suggested and change the tint color according your needs.

Answer 3

You can also override the drawRect function.

@implementation UINavigationBar (UINavigationBarCustom)

• (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect {

  UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"nav_bar_logo.png"]; [image drawInRect:rect]; }

@end
