iPhone - Navigation bar Back button item is not responding

I have a fullscreen modalView called like this:

PreferencesController *nextWindow = [[[PreferencesController alloc] initWithNibName:@"Preferences" bundle:nil] autorelease];
UINavigationController* navController = [[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:nextWindow] autorelease];
[self presentModalViewController:navController animated:YES];

Then from this modalView I push another view :

    MyController *nextWindow = [[[MyController alloc] initWithNibName:@"tmp" bundle:nil] autorelease];
    [self.navigationController pushViewController:nextWindow animated:YES];

In this new controller, I have this viewDidLoad :

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];

    self.title = @"Borders";
    self.navigationController.navigationBarHidden = NO;
}

The leftBarButtonItem is not active, I mean touching it does not highlight it nor does it go back to the previous view.

My views are displayed fullScreen, with [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationNone]; called at the application initialisation.

The navigationBar frame is 0,0,320,44.

The navigationBar superview frame is 0,0,320,480.

The viewController view frame is 0,0,320,436.

I've tried to call in viewDidLoad self.navigationController.navigationBar.userInteractionEnabled = Y开发者_如何学GoES; and self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem.enabled = YES; without effect.

What happens?

EDIT :

My self.navigationController.navigationItem.backBarButtonItem is NIL. self.navigationController.navigationItem is not NIL

Whenever this sort of unresponsiveness happens to me, it is always because of framing issues. i.e. the superview of the NavigationController is smaller than the NavigationController's view. I know you say that everything is set to full screen, but I would verify that everything is actually full screen by turning "clipsSubviews" on for each view in the hierarchy.

I just had this issue, I'm not sure why this works, but instead of doing:

UIBarButtonItem *backButton =
[[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Back"
                                  style: UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered
                                 target:nil
                                 action:nil] autorelease];

self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = backButton;

I replaced the second line with

 self.navigationController.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = backButton;

That works for me.

I found the solution. The problem was that the first view was called from the overlay, and not from the picker. Keeping a reference to the Picker into the overlay, and calling the view from it solves the problem:

From the overlay:

[self.picker presentModalViewController:navController animated:YES];

works

instead of:

[self presentModalViewController:navController animated:YES];
