  • Accepted Answer

    var emptyView = Titanium.UI.createView({});
mypopover.leftNavButton = emptyView;

    Found this hack earlier when I wanted to show/hide an "Add" button in a table view when in editing mode.

    • I think Titanium team should make a sugar syntax like so:
      <pre>
      function setLeftNavButton(button) {

      if(button === null) {
    var emptyView = Titanium.UI.createView({});
    button = emptyView;
}

... existing code ...

      }
      </pre>

      :)

    • Once I removed it, is there a way to get him back?

  • As of 11th January 2012, this no longer seems to be an issue. I use both ways to set "NavButton"'s to null and no obvious effects to the application.

    [INFO] Titanium SDK version: 1.7.3.v20111013094213

app.windows._list.setLeftNavButton();
app.windows._list.rightNavButton = null;

  • Yes, i tried 

    mypopover.setLeftNavButton(null);

    and

    mypopover.leftNavButton = null;

    but a crash occurred.
