I have a title label in the navbar using the code below. I can't seem to get it to size to the width of the full view. Any idea how I might go about fixing this?

I thought self.view.bounds.size.width would size it to the full width of the view.

here's my navbar title label code and there's also a screenshot to visually show the problem.

thanks for the help

 UILabel* tlabel=[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0, self.view.bounds.size.width, 48)];
tlabel.text=self.navigationItem.title;
tlabel.text = @"someText"; 
tlabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"DIN-Bold" size:20];
tlabel.textColor=[UIColor whiteColor];
tlabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:(219/255.0) green:(52/255.0) blue:(31/255.0) alpha:1] ;
tlabel.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth=YES;
tlabel.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;
self.navigationItem.titleView=tlabel;

enter image description here

after code change from Paras Joshi it's correct on the right side but off on the left.

Use this bellow code in which I've added UILabel in UIView and then set that view as a titleView... 

UIView *headerView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 48)];
UILabel* tlabel=[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0, 320, 48)];
tlabel.text=self.navigationItem.title;
tlabel.text = @"someText"; 
tlabel.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"DIN-Bold" size:20];
tlabel.textColor=[UIColor whiteColor];
tlabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:(219/255.0) green:(52/255.0) blue:(31/255.0) alpha:1] ;
tlabel.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;   
[headerView addSubview:tlabel];
self.navigationItem.titleView = headerView;

or add as a subview like below.

[self.navigationController.navigationBar addSubview:tlabel];

  • I do have some text in the @""; I just removed it for this post. I need that text there though – hanumanDev Aug 02 '13 at 10:53
  • @hanumanDev also try my updated code instead of your code.. :) – Paras Joshi Aug 02 '13 at 10:56
  • thanks! it's almost perfect. The right side is flush to the end of the view with your code. the left side however is still a few pixels off like in the screenshot. – hanumanDev Aug 02 '13 at 10:58
  • ok then take frame of that view or lable with width 324 try it out – Paras Joshi Aug 02 '13 at 11:01
  • I tried the 324 in the header view width and then also in the label but it's still off. I added a screenshot to illustrate. thanks for all the help :) – hanumanDev Aug 02 '13 at 11:08

    @hanumanDev check out my another answer from this link http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17341575/setting-title-for-uinavigation-bar-in-iphone/17341896#17341896 also then try to add as a subview instead of set as a titleview like this `[self.navigationController.navigationBar addSubview:label];` – Paras Joshi Aug 02 '13 at 11:11
  • solved it with [self.navigationController.navigationBar addSubview:label]; thanks again :) – hanumanDev Aug 02 '13 at 11:14

Try it with: 

UILabel* tlabel=[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0, [UIScreen mainscreen].bounds.size.width, 48)];

May be it works.
