In this blog post, you will learn how to create a UIBarButtonItem with Image in Swift. It is going to be a very short and simple Swift code example, that demonstrates how to:
- Create UIBarButtonItem programmatically,
- Create UIImage programmatically,
- Add image to UIBarButtonItem,
- Add target action to UIBarButtonItem to call a local function.
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Image needs to be added to project.
let buttonIcon = UIImage(named: "left_side")
let leftBarButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Edit", style: UIBarButtonItem.Style.done, target: self, action: #selector(self.myLeftSideBarButtonItemTapped(_:)))
leftBarButton.image = buttonIcon
self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = leftBarButton
}
@objc func myLeftSideBarButtonItemTapped(_ sender:UIBarButtonItem!)
{
print("myLeftSideBarButtonItemTapped")
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
}
}
