Is it possible to change a bar button background image while we click on it?

Question

I have a barbuttonitem which i have customised using a custom button with an image. I want to change this image everytime after I click it. Like on and off. Once I click it it will show OFF image. Then again it will go ON image.

Is it possible?

Answer 2

Yes. In your target method just change out the UIBarButtonItem

- (void)toolbarButtonPressedAwesomeMethod {

    Do awesome stuff...

    // Change the button here…
    UIBarButtonItem *bbi = [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] init…

    // Set it in the view
    [self.navigationItem setRightBarButtonItem:bbi];
}
