i can show you how to add custom button to navigation bar. Use this code if this is helpful,

UIImage *buttonImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"Done.png"];

    UIButton *aButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];

    [aButton setImage:buttonImage forState:UIControlStateNormal];

    aButton.frame = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, buttonImage.size.width, buttonImage.size.height);

    UIBarButtonItem *aBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:aButton];

    [aButtonaddTarget:selfaction:@selector(navigatehome)forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

    self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = aBarButtonItem;

    [aBarButtonItem release];
