How can I offset a UIButton image inside a UIBarButtonItem on navBar?

Question

Here is the code that I use to insert a custom UIBarButtonItem as a leftButton on my navigator. The problem is that the button is too close to the left edge, and I can’t understand how to step back a little from it without using another image with an addition on the left?

UIButton *btn = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 20, 20)];
btn.imageEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 10, 0, 0);
[btn setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"image.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
self.myBtn = btn;
[btn release];

UIBarButtonItem *barBtn = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:self.myBtn];
self.myBarBtn = barBtn;
self.myBarBtn.imageInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, 5, 0, 0);
[self.navigationItem setLeftBarButtonItem:self.myBarBtn animated:YES];
[barBtn release];

I tried setting up the frame, edgeInsets, all with no luck. BarButtonItem is still too close to the left. Is there a way to offset the image for the button?

thank

Answer 1

    UIImage *buttonImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"Close.png"];
    UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
    [button setImage:buttonImage forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    button.imageEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, -40, 0, 0);
    button.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, buttonImage.size.width, buttonImage.size.height);

    [button addTarget:self action:@selector(donePressed:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

    //create a UIBarButtonItem with the button as a custom view
    UIBarButtonItem *customBarItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:button];
    self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = customBarItem;

there is a custom left or right button with a quick language

let buttonEdit: UIButton = UIButton.buttonWithType(UIButtonType.Custom) as UIButton
buttonEdit.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 40, 40)
buttonEdit.setImage(UIImage(named:"nav-right-Y.png"), forState: UIControlState.Normal)
buttonEdit.addTarget(self, action: "rightNavItemEditClick", forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside)
var rightBarButtonItemEdit: UIBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(customView: buttonEdit)
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = rightBarButtonItemEdit
