Setting Back Button Title in NavigationController

I'm trying to change Back Button tittle in a NavigationController in the following way:

In the parent controller I put this in vieDidLoad:

self.title = @"Calendars";
self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem.title = @"Previous";

But this controller is in the stack since I initialized the app:

-(void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application{

    navController.viewControllers= [NSArray arrayWithObjects:aController,aBcontroller,nil];
    [window addSubview:navController.view];

}

So, the viewDidLoad in aController is not called until I select the back buttom the first time in the bController...

Does anyone knows how to call viewDidLoad just when I push it into the stack? Or do you know another way to change the BackButtom title?

You can set the title of the back button for any ViewController you're in with the following line of code:

self.navigationController.navigationBar.backItem.title = @"Previous";

You should put your code to set up the title and navigationItem in init, you don't need to wait until the view is loaded.
