这并不像我们想象的那么难。只需要为UIButton创建一个背景颜色清晰的框架，为按钮分配动作，并放置在导航栏后退按钮上。最后在使用后取下按钮。

这是Swift 3 用UIImage代替UIButton的示例代码

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    let imageView = UIImageView()
    imageView.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear
    imageView.frame = CGRect(x:0,y:0,width:2*(self.navigationController?.navigationBar.bounds.height)!,height:(self.navigationController?.navigationBar.bounds.height)!)
    let tapGestureRecognizer = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(back(sender:)))
    imageView.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
    imageView.addGestureRecognizer(tapGestureRecognizer)
    imageView.tag = 1
    self.navigationController?.navigationBar.addSubview(imageView)
    }

编写需要执行的代码

func back(sender: UIBarButtonItem) {

    // Perform your custom actions}
    _ = self.navigationController?.popViewController(animated: true)

    }

执行操作后删除子视图

override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillDisappear(animated)

    for view in (self.navigationController?.navigationBar.subviews)!{
        if view.tag == 1 {
            view.removeFromSuperview()
        }
    }

试试这个。

self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem?.target = "methodname"
func methodname ( ) {            
  //    enter code here
}

这个也试试。

override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
  //empty your array
}

对于Swift 5，我们可以检查它在视图中是否会消失

override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillDisappear(animated)

    if self.isMovingFromParent {
        delegate?.passValue(clickedImage: selectedImage)
    }
}

一种选择是实现您自己的自定义后退按钮。你需要添加以下代码到你的viewDidLoad方法:

    - (void) viewDidLoad {
        [super viewDidLoad];
        self.navigationItem.hidesBackButton = YES;
        UIBarButtonItem *newBackButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Back" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:@selector(back:)];
        self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = newBackButton;
    }

    - (void) back:(UIBarButtonItem *)sender {
        // Perform your custom actions
        // ...
        // Go back to the previous ViewController
        [self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:YES];
    }

更新:

以下是Swift的版本:

        override func viewDidLoad {
            super.viewDidLoad()
            self.navigationItem.hidesBackButton = true
            let newBackButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Back", style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.Bordered, target: self, action: "back:")
            self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = newBackButton
        }

       @objc func back(sender: UIBarButtonItem) {
            // Perform your custom actions
            // ...
            // Go back to the previous ViewController
            self.navigationController?.popViewControllerAnimated(true)
        }

更新2:

以下是Swift 3的版本:

        override func viewDidLoad {
            super.viewDidLoad()
            self.navigationItem.hidesBackButton = true
            let newBackButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Back", style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.plain, target: self, action: #selector(YourViewController.back(sender:)))
            self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = newBackButton
        }

       @objc func back(sender: UIBarButtonItem) {
            // Perform your custom actions
            // ...
            // Go back to the previous ViewController
            _ = navigationController?.popViewController(animated: true)
        }

将按钮替换为另一个答案中建议的自定义按钮可能不是一个好主意，因为您将失去默认的行为和样式。

另一个选择是在视图控制器上实现viewWillDisappear方法，并检查名为isMovingFromParentViewController的属性。如果那个属性为真，它意味着视图控制器正在消失，因为它正在被移除(弹出)。

应该是这样的:

override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillDisappear(animated)

    if self.isMovingFromParentViewController {
        // Your code...
    }
}

在swift 4.2中

override func viewWillDisappear(_ animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillDisappear(animated)

    if self.isMovingFromParent {
        // Your code...
    }
}

我通过以下方法做到了这一点:

斯威夫特3

override func didMoveToParentViewController(parent: UIViewController?) {
   super.didMoveToParentViewController(parent)

   if parent == nil {
      println("Back Button pressed.")
      delegate?.goingBack()
   }           
}

斯威夫特4

override func didMove(toParent parent: UIViewController?) {
    super.didMove(toParent: parent)

    if parent == nil {
        debugPrint("Back Button pressed.")
    }
}

不需要自定义后退按钮。
