Bar button item event not activate in ios 6 or late - uibarbuttonitem

Question

I tried this code:
custom barbuttonitem:
-(id)initWithImage:(UIImage *)image title:(NSString*)title target:(id)target action:(SEL)action {
UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
button.frame= CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, image.size.width, image.size.height);
button.titleLabel.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:12];
button.titleLabel.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(0, -1);
button.titleLabel.shadowColor = [UIColor colorWithWhite:0 alpha:0.5];
button.titleLabel.textColor = [UIColor redColor];
[button setTitle:title forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[button setBackgroundImage:image forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[button addTarget:target action:action forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
UIView *view =[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, image.size.width, image.size.height) ];
[view addSubview:button];
self = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:view];
return self;
}
and used it:
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"my_account_icon.png"] title:#"" target:self action:#selector(buttonClick:)];
But in ios 6 event not activate, ios 5 run nomal, please help me !!!!

Answer 1

UIBarButtonItems with a customView set will not fire actions.

Answer 2

Try the following:
-(id)initWithImage:(UIImage *)image title:(NSString*)title target:(id)target action:(SEL)action
{
//create whatever custom views you need
UIView *view =[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, image.size.width, image.size.height) ];
UITapGestureRecognizer * gestureRec = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget: target action: action];
[view addGestureRecognizer: gestureRec];
//add your custom subviews to the view
self = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:view];
return self;
}
Adding gesture recognizer to the subview of the UIBarButtonItem worked for me, even if UIBarButtonItem is initialized with the custom view.
Good luck!
