How to set color `rightBarButtonItem` on navigation bar?

Question

I want to set color of "Done" button on navigation bar like this image:

Although, I've set code as self.doneButton.enabled = NO; but Done button still has a white color. It does not change color like image.

How to set the code to change text color done button like Done button in the image above? Please help me to solve this problem. I appreciate your help.

Solution 1

for change the color of barbutton use

objective C

self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = yourRightbarbuttonName;
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem.tintColor = [UIColor blueColor]; // add your color

Swift

or set from Story board

self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = yourRightbarbuttonName
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem.tintColor = UIColor.blueColor()

if you want to show the Right barbutton use

objective C

self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem.enabled = YES;

Swift

self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem.enabled = true

if you want to hide the Right barbutton use

objective C

self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem.enabled = NO;

Swift

self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem.enabled = false

Solution 2

Adding the following line after disabling the button may help (not tested though)

self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem.tintColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];

Solution 3

Try This

UIBarButtonItem *rightBarButton=[[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithTitle:@"Done" style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:@selector(editProfileClick)];
rightBarButton.tintColor=[UIColor whiteColor];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = rightBarButton;


-(void)editProfileClick
{
//your methods
}

Solution 4

For updated the colour for text of right bar item, we should use "setTitleTextAttributes"(swift 5). Please try this :

let rightBarButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "your text", style: .plain, target: nil, action: nil)
rightBarButton.setTitleTextAttributes([NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor : UIColor.black], for: .normal)
navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = rightBarButton

Solution 5

You can set it from XIB/Storyboard like shown in image

or you can set the property - tintColor of your barbutton item.
