your tool bar is hiding being navigation bar since navigation bar is always on top you can add your tool bar as sub view of navigation bar i m not sure if it will work though best approch is use navigation bar and add item it it like left button right button and title stuff or you can add a view as subview of navigation bar i have done that before sample code
navBar=self.navigationController.navigationBar;
[navBar addSubview:statusBar];
statusBar.frame=f;
self.navigationController.navigationBar.translucent = YES;
here statusBar was a view was set up like your tool bar same size.
