self.title = (category ? category.name : @"Add New Category");
}

I have also tried:

- (void) viewWillAppearBOOL)animated {
self.navigationController.title = (category ? category.name : @"Add New Category");
}

neither of the above display any title.

If I set a constant title in the NIB file entry for the view controller in Interface Builder then it displays the title, but I need to be able to set it programmatically.

I can set the title for a view using the first example above on a view controller that is pushed onto the navigation controller's stack and that displays correctly, but it won't do it when presenting the view as a modal view.

Can anyone tell me what I need to do, please.

try

self.navigationItem.title=@"My Title";
