Unwanted Edit button in my navigation bar?

I've got the following code in my app to display a modal view:

InfoTableViewController *infoTableViewController = [[[InfoTableViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil] autorelease];
infoTableViewController.title = @"Pirateometer";
infoTableViewController.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem =
    [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemDone
        target:self action:@selector(dismissInfo)] autorelease];

navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:infoTableViewController];
[self presentModalViewController:navController animated:YES];
[navController retain];

However when I run, instead of the Done button on the right of my navigation bar I have an Edit button. If I change .rightBarButton to .leftBarButton my Done button appears on the left as expected, but the Edit button is again there on the right.

Am I supposed to specially remove this unwanted Edit button in code, or am I doing something wrong that is making it appear in the first place? If I have to remove it, how do I go about doing so?

Solution

  • Make sure in your -viewDidLoad method of InfoTableViewController that you're not setting the right button to the edit button.

    In the default UITableViewController subclass stub code, there is a commented out line which does this. Perhaps you've accidentally uncommented it?

    Setting it in -viewDidLoad will execute after you've already set it in your included code here, as the method doesn't run until the viewController is actually loaded (ie when you present it modally).
