UINavigationBar BarButtonItem with Plain Style

Question

i got the following code:

- (id)init {
  if (self = [super init]) {
      self.title = @"please wait";
      UIBarButtonItem *favorite = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"star.png"] style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:@selector(buttonFavoriteClicked:)];
      self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = favorite;
  }

  return self;
}

but my button looks still like a Button with UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered

is there a way to set a button with plain style at this position?

Answer 1

Try this instead:

- (id)init {
  if (self = [super init]) {
      self.title = @"please wait";

      UIButton *button = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 25, 25)];
      [button setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"star.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
      [button addTarget:self action:@selector(buttonFavoriteClicked) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
      UIBarButtonItem *favorite = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:button];
      [button release];

      self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = favorite;
  }

  return self;
}

Hope it helps.
