Displaying User Data | Application Development in iOS 7

Adding food

The first thing we want to do is give the user the ability to add additional food items from this view. The best way to do this is to add a button in the navigation bar. Apple provides a system button to add items that will be displayed as a nice plus button. Switch to MyFoodsViewController.m and scroll down to the viewDidLoad method. Add the following code:

// Set our views title
self.title = @"MY FOODS";
    
// Create the plus button
UIBarButtonItem *plusButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemAdd target:self action:@selector(addButtonPressed:)];
    
    // Assign the bar buttons to the navigation controller
[self.navigationItem setRightBarButtonItem:plusButton];
