Navigation controller Set title

I have created an application using UINavigationController. So now when i go from one view to another, i get the title of the previous screen displayed as the back button of the new view.

Sometimes if the name of the previous screen is long, i get a longer title for the back button, instead of having the long name of the previous screen is there a way for me to only have the text BACK ?

You have to create your own button and add it to your UINavigationController.

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

But remember to do it not in the viewController where your back button appears, but in the viewController where you go back after tapping your back button.

Yes. On the previous screen, you can create a bar button item for the back button.

Simply create a UIBarButtonItem with a nil target and a nil selector, but with the title "Back", then in your previous screen, use the self.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem property and set that as your UIBarButtonItem.
