Add UINavigationBar programmatically with a Done button

Question

So I have a modal view and want to add a UINavigationBar programmatically with a Done button to dismiss this view when the user finishes reading the content.

Any ideas on how to do this and if it's possible purely without using the interface builder?

I am sorry that nobody here actually read your question... here is the code you are looking for:

UINavigationBar *navBar = [[UINavigationBar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, 44)];
navBar.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];

UINavigationItem *navItem = [[UINavigationItem alloc] init];
navItem.title = @"Navigation Bar title here";

UIBarButtonItem *leftButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Left" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:@selector(yourMethod:)];
navItem.leftBarButtonItem = leftButton;

UIBarButtonItem *rightButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Post" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:@selector(yourOtherMethod:)];
navItem.rightBarButtonItem = rightButton;

navBar.items = @[ navItem ];

[self.view addSubview:navBar];

I hope this helps, good luck :)

Add this code to your viewDidLoad method and everything will construct itself. Mind you, replace the selectors with your own method signatures-

Happy coding
