Can't get the icon for UIBarButtonSystemItemTrash

In order to get the trash image displayed in a standard toolbar on iOS. I am using the following code:

    UIBarButtonItem *tempTBButn=[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemTrash target:nil action:nil];
    UIImage *trashImg=tempTBButn.image;

But it does not work. The result I get in trashImg is just nil. What should I do to obtain the result I want? That is to have the trash icon in trashImg.

The image property is only set when you create a UIBarButtonItem with one of the custom image init methods like:

UIBarButtonItem *customImageBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"yourImage"] style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:@selector(barButtonItemPressed:)];

The image property defaults to nil when you use the initWithBarButtonSystemItem: method. Your best bet is to just use a trash icon of your own, or work with just having the standard icon on the nav.
