UINavigationBar "Next" Button

[StefanL]

Hi Folks,

In my Application I am moving between two Views using the following code (inside my "didselectedRow"):

	ShowViewController *controller = [[ShowViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"ShowViewController" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
	
	userName = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ %@", takeLastName, takeFirstName];
	controller.userName = userName;
	controller.takeId = takeId;
	
    controller.delegate = self;
	//controller.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCoverVertical;
	
	[self.navigationController pushViewController:controller animated:YES];
	
// [self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
 
    [controller release];
    controller = nil;

This is working fine - the view will be switched and on the new View there is a "Back Button" which I have named using the following code:

UIBarButtonItem *backButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Back" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:nil action:nil];
	self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = backButton;
	[backButton release];

What can I do if I want not only a "Back - Button" but also a "Next Button"? How can I achieve this if I want to switch to a "ShowMoreController"?

Thanks for your feedback,

Stefan

So when they navigate from the selectRowAtIndex you want that view to have a next button?

You could add a barButtonItem to the navigation bar in the viewDidLoad method of that view and carry out the method you want in the action for the button. Although im not too sure if you can get a bar button item to have similar shape as the back button except with a forward point if you know what i mean.

Hi John,

thanks for your Feedback! I have solved it like this:

In viewDidAppear:

self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"More" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self 
																			 action:@selector(moreButtonPressed:)] autorelease];

and then calling:

-(void)moreButtonPressed:(id)sender {
	
	NSLog(@"pressed");
	
	
	ShowMoreController *controller = [[ShowMoreController alloc] initWithNibName:@"ShowMoreController" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
	
	/*userName = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ %@", takeLastName, takeFirstName];
	controller.userName = userName;
	controller.takeId = takeId;*/
	
    controller.delegate = self;
	[self.navigationController pushViewController:controller animated:YES];
    [controller release];
    controller = nil;
	
	
}

BR,
