My navigationbar doesn't show a back button if the previous view controller has no title

How do i make it show the back button, with the title "Back"? It shows perfectly well if the previous view controller has a title.

Simplest solution is in viewDidLoad of the view that is about to push a new one, do the following:

UIBarButtonItem *backBarButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Back" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:nil action:nil];
self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem = backBarButton;
[backBarButton release]

Works perfectly, no questions asked.

You can also try to set the title before pushing the new view controller. For example:

-(void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
  [self setTitle:@"back"];
  // Push new view controller...
}

and then set it back to @"" in your -viewWillAppear.

You can set the backBarButtonItem property of the previous viewController. So if you are have one viewcontroller "A" and you push a viewController "B". The back button will be the button backBarButtonItem on the "A" view controller.
