Is it possible to add a title to the left side of the navigation bar? I know how I can add a title in the center but when I try to add one to the left side I see nothing. This is the code I have:
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem?.title = "Elapsed Time: 0:00"
Thank you for the help.
Try this code:
let leftItem = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Title",
style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.plain,
target: nil,
action: nil)
leftItem.isEnabled = false
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = leftItem
More powerful solution of this problem:
let longTitleLabel = UILabel()
longTitleLabel.text = "Long long long long long long title"
longTitleLabel.font = ................
longTitleLabel.sizeToFit()
let leftItem = UIBarButtonItem(customView: longTitleLabel)
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = leftItem
Now you just can edit label as you want. You can use another font or text color.
