Adding two right bar button items to the navigation bar

I have a navigation bar to which I have added right BarButton successfully. Both the NavigationBar and BarButton are created programmatically. Now according to my requirement I got to add two right BarButtons to my navigation Bar. Can anyone tell me how to do this? My app is targeting ios4.

Here is a swift example:

    let add = UIBarButtonItem(barButtonSystemItem: .add, target: self, action: #selector(addItem))
    let share = UIBarButtonItem(barButtonSystemItem: .action, target: self, action: #selector(shareTapped))

    navigationItem.rightBarButtonItems = [share, add]

This code will do the trick for you,

 NSArray *barButtonItems= [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:self.addButton,self.sortbyButton,nil];
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItems=barButtonItems;

where addButton and sortbyButton are 2 separate BarButton Items

I know it is too late but I faced it recently. So here is what I did Create a UIView in code and add the buttons as subviews into this view. Create a ToolbarButton using [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:buttons]

Assign this toolbar button as the Left or right barbuttonItem as U wish.

NSArray *segmentTextContent = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
                               NSLocalizedString(@\"Group By\", @\"\"),
                               NSLocalizedString(@\"Filter By\", @\"\"),
                               nil];
UISegmentedcontrol *segmentedControl = [[UISegmentedControl alloc] initWithItems:segmentTextContent];
segmentedControl.selectedSegmentIndex = 0;
segmentedControl.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth;
segmentedControl.segmentedControlStyle = UISegmentedControlStyleBar;
segmentedControl.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 125, 30);
[segmentedControl addTarget:self action:@selector(toggleUnit) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];

segmentedControl.tintColor = [UIColor lightGrayColor];
defaultTintColor = [segmentedControl.tintColor retain];

self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = segmentedControl;
[segmentedControl release];

@Matthias, As stated in documentation, rightBarButtonItems property is available from iOS 5 and above and this function needs to be supported also on iOS 4.

So, UISegmentControl is best way to achieve this.

As the documentation to UINavigationItem1 describes, it has a property rightBarButtonItems (as well as leftBarButtonItems) where you can give an array of UIBarButtons. They are display from right (index 0) to left (index n-1).

If you application is targeting iOS 4 and above then you should take UISegmentControl and have two segments on it. Catch value changed action event and check which segment is selected and do you operation accordingly.

You can also set images to segments to make look and feel better.
