var negativeSpace = new UIBarButtonItem (UIBarButtonSystemItem.FixedSpace);
negativeSpacae.Width = -8;

var leftBtn = new UIButton (new RectangleF (0, 0, 25, 25));
leftBtn.SetImage(UIImage.FromBundle("cancel_white_icon"), UIControlState.Normal);
leftBtn.TintColor = GargiColor.WhiteColor();

UIBarButtonItem [] bArray = {
    negativeSpace, new UIBarButtonItem (leftBtn)
};
NavigationItem.SetLeftBarButtonItems (bArray, true);

This is working fine in my project. I've tested. Are you sure it is `UIBarButtonSystemItem.FixedSpace` that you added? – Drunken Daddy May 20 '17 at 05:11
where you define `backButton` ?? – Harshad Pansuriya May 20 '17 at 05:12
it can not display the `Cancel` button even. i also add this code `button.ImageView.Image = UIImage.FromBundle("cancel_white_icon");` but the image is not display. – Harshad Pansuriya May 20 '17 at 05:16
What was the problem? – Drunken Daddy May 20 '17 at 05:19
I'm sure that is working in your project, but using my crash reports as evidence, pushing a uiview with negative width or using negative insets within a NC can (and will cause crashes) depending upon the device/version. – SushiHangover May 20 '17 at 05:29
