Back button don't appear in navigationController

I have a UIViewController, with a navigationController, and I hide the back button. This viewController push a other UIViewController, and in the viewDidLoad of this new viewController, I do:

self.navigationItem.hidesBackButton = FALSE;

But the backbutton doesn't happear. Why? And this don't work when I pass to the new Xcode version for iOS 4.2, because in the latest version, it all works well.

Well, I had the same problem running iOS 4.2. The back button would refuse to appear. Upon autoroating to landscape, it then appears. My solution was to do the following - This fixed the problem...or should we say its a workaround ;)

- (void)viewDidLoad 
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    checkHolder.image = anImage;
    self.navigationItem.hidesBackButton = YES;
}

- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated {
    [super viewDidAppear:animated];
    self.navigationItem.hidesBackButton = NO;
}

If you're using Interface Builder, check the Navigation Item object inside the View Controller that is attached to the Navigation Controller.. For clarity, in IB:

Navigation Controller || Something View Controller || Navigation Item

In Inspector on the Attributes tab, there should be a Text Field named "Back Button". Make sure this has something in it such as "Back".

After it's listed for the first ViewController, it will propagate through the stack.

I tend to agree with Syoleen , one should have a title text set to the navigationController, You can set the title to @" " (thats a space there in-between) if you don't want it to be shown but still have it active.

Is there a title for the previous navigationController (on the navigation bar)? Sometimes, if there is no title, the first back button is hidden automatically.
