iOS - add image and text in title of Navigation bar

As this answer shows, the easiest solution is to add the text to your image and add that image to the navigation bar like so:

var image = UIImage(named: "logo.png")self.navigationItem.titleView = UIImageView(image: image)

But if you have to add text and an image separately (for example, in the case of localization), you can set your navigation bar's title view to contain both image and text by adding them to a UIView and setting the navigationItem's title view to that UIView, for example (assuming the navigation bar is part of a navigation controller):

// Only execute the code if there's a navigation controller if self.navigationController == nil {    return}// Create a navView to add to the navigation barlet navView = UIView()// Create the labellet label = UILabel()label.text = "Text"label.sizeToFit()label.center = navView.centerlabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignment.Center// Create the image viewlet image = UIImageView()image.image = UIImage(named: "Image.png")// To maintain the image's aspect ratio:let imageAspect = image.image!.size.width/image.image!.size.height// Setting the image frame so that it's immediately before the text:image.frame = CGRect(x: label.frame.origin.x-label.frame.size.height*imageAspect, y: label.frame.origin.y, width: label.frame.size.height*imageAspect, height: label.frame.size.height)image.contentMode = UIViewContentMode.ScaleAspectFit// Add both the label and image view to the navViewnavView.addSubview(label)navView.addSubview(image)// Set the navigation bar's navigation item's titleView to the navViewself.navigationItem.titleView = navView// Set the navView's frame to fit within the titleViewnavView.sizeToFit()

Use horizontal UIStackView should be much cleaner and easier

Please add the next extension to UIViewController

extension UIViewController {    func setTitle(_ title: String, andImage image: UIImage) {        let titleLbl = UILabel()        titleLbl.text = title        titleLbl.textColor = UIColor.white        titleLbl.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 20.0, weight: .bold)        let imageView = UIImageView(image: image)        let titleView = UIStackView(arrangedSubviews: [imageView, titleLbl])        titleView.axis = .horizontal        titleView.spacing = 10.0        navigationItem.titleView = titleView    }}

then use it inside your viewController:

setTitle("yourTitle", andImage: UIImage(named: "yourImage"))

(this will align the text and the icon together to the center, if you want the text to be centered and the icon in the left, just add an empty UIView with width constraint equal to the icon width)

here is my 2 cents for Swift 4, since accepted answer didn't work for me (was mostly off the screen):

// .. in ViewControllervar navBar = CustomTitleView()override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {    super.viewWillAppear(animated)    // =================== navBar =====================    navBar.loadWith(title: "Budget Overview", leftImage: Images.pie_chart)    self.navigationItem.titleView = navBar}class CustomTitleView: UIView{var title_label = CustomLabel()var left_imageView = UIImageView()override init(frame: CGRect){    super.init(frame: frame)    setup()}required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder){    super.init(coder: aDecoder)    setup()}func setup(){    self.addSubview(title_label)    self.addSubview(left_imageView)}func loadWith(title: String, leftImage: UIImage?){    //self.backgroundColor = .yellow    // =================== title_label ==================    //title_label.backgroundColor = .blue    title_label.text = title    title_label.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: FontManager.fontSize + 5)    // =================== imageView ===================    left_imageView.image = leftImage    setupFrames()}func setupFrames(){    let height: CGFloat = Navigation.topViewController()?.navigationController?.navigationBar.frame.height ?? 44    let image_size: CGFloat = height * 0.8    left_imageView.frame = CGRect(x: 0,                                  y: (height - image_size) / 2,                                  width: (left_imageView.image == nil) ? 0 : image_size,                                  height: image_size)    let titleWidth: CGFloat = title_label.intrinsicContentSize.width + 10    title_label.frame = CGRect(x: left_imageView.frame.maxX + 5,                               y: 0,                               width: titleWidth,                               height: height)    contentWidth = Int(left_imageView.frame.width)    self.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: CGFloat(contentWidth), height: height)}var contentWidth: Int = 0 //if its CGFloat, it infinitely calls layoutSubviews(), changing franction of a width override func layoutSubviews() {    super.layoutSubviews()    self.frame.size.width = CGFloat(contentWidth)}}
