UITableViewController does not show tool bar items?

Question

I have been googling this issues since forever. I have a table view controller with navigation bar and a tool bar at the bottom. I am able to show the tool bar

self.navigationController.toolbaHidden = NO;

I then added some items to the toolbar like this

UIButton *button = [[UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect] retain];
button.titleLabel.text = @"Button";
UIBarButtonItem *buttonItem = [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:button] autorelease];
[self setToolbarItems:[NSArray arrayWithObject:buttonItem] animated:NO];
[button release];

However it never works. I think it is the correct way to do but somehow it shows nothing on the toolbar. Does anyone know what the reason is? Or if you know a correct way to add tool bar items please let me know? Thanks a lot guys.

Cheers,

 UIBarButtonItem *buttonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemAdd target:self action:nil];
     UIBarButtonItem *buttonItem2 = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemPlay target:self action:nil];
  self.toolbarItems=[NSArray arrayWithObjects:buttonItem,buttonItem2,nil];
    self.navigationController.toolbarHidden = NO;

it seems that because you are adding the round button in the barbutton it is not displaying,try to add the toolbar with system provided barbuttons it will surely work

Thanks mate, adding uibutton is the source of problem! – Jeremy May 02 '12 at 14:59 — Jeremy, May 02 '12 at 14:59
