I implemented tab bar in my application
and then I want tabbar screens to be change when the specific moments occur
but buttons should not be used (for instance, bottom navigation bar buttons)
if you have three tab buttons and assume current screen is first(index 0),
how to accomplish to go to page third?(index 2)
thanks
If you have a TabController even if you don't have a TabBar(but you have a TabBarView with that controller attached) then just use the method animateTo() with the index you want to move and a duration for the animation (if you want a different duration). tabController.animateTo(2)

I am working on a tab bar application. Is there a way I can programmatically hide one view controller from the scroll down list and from the "edit" list (but still be able to pop it on screen with a certain action, i.e. by calling its tabbarcontroller index)?
The problem is that I have now so many viewcontrollers that completely fill the "edit" screen. So I want to hide some of them and be able to trigger the hidden ones trough some action performed on one of the visible ones.
Thanks
I'm working on a tabbed application using storyboards in Interface Builder. The Stack Overflow question at TabBar in one view leading to a second view with another set of tabbar seems to answer or at least be relevant to my question, but unfortunately I don't understand the answer entirely.
The first tab in the UITabBarController takes people to the main/home view controller, which displays a short text on the screen. I want to add a function whereby the user taps on the screen and a new tab bar slides in (like in iPhoto when you tap on a photo that's been displayed) with options to send, trash, or edit the text.
I don't need the new tab bar to be translucent like it is in iPhoto.
How do I do this?
I have an application with a maybe-strange navigation scenario. I'll try to explain:
1) first scene: select an available item from a list
1.1) once selected, you navigate to a tab view allowing you to view/edit the various attributes
2) if the desired item isn't available, you may create a new one (by selecting a "+" bar button) which navigates to an alternate scene
2.1) there may be multiple scenes required to create the item, all scenes are simply pushed on the stack to allow the user to go back, select different options, etc.
2.2) once all scenes have been displayed and all attributes have been collected, the new "item" will be created and saved.
2.3) now, I want to automatically act as though the user selected this item from the beginning, that is, I want to pop all previous views off the stack and navigate directly into the tabs (step 1.1).
Does this make sense? Easy to do? Is there a better way to go about this? I'm using xCode 4.2 with storyboards.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
If you want (+) button on TabBar you should subclass UITabBar: Fo ex. TabBarPlus and set this class in storyboard.
But easier place (+) button on navigation bar.
The max number of displaying tabsart is 5 for iphone and 8 for ipad. If the there > number of tabs the last is "More" tab thet displaing list of other tubs in tableview. I you want displaying more tabs on tabbar then you should subclass UITabBar :)
If you want by back button on naigation bar switching beetwing Views that references with TabBar buttons you must create stack in code and hide backbutton of navigationbar and use castom left button of navigationbar.
The other navigation can be easy done in storyboard
I have an interesting problem. I have an app that I'm developing that involves photos so screen space is at a premium. Also, using disappearing and reappearing nav / tool bar controllers (like in the camera app) doesn't make sense for me. In a perfect world, I'd use a UITabBar to switch between the 4 main navigational view controllers that my program implements, however I also am going to need space for a toolbar right on top of the tab bar most of the time. These two components take up too much space between the two of them so I need a way to save some space.
That's where I came up with the idea of using a toolbar to implement the functionality of both the TabBar and ToolBar. On the left side of the ToolBar would be the 4 buttons that allow access to my 4 main navigational view controllers. The one that is currently on the window would have it's button depressed. Then there would be a divider, and on the right side of the tool bar would be buttons specific to whatever view is currently on the window.
Anyhow, I'm just wondering if anyone has any clever ideas on how they'd implement this?
wat do u mean by left and right of toolbar??? adding a tab bar will not affect ur view size. when adding a toolbar, well yes it does affect ur view size.
my idea wolud be add a toolbar to the top of ur view and u can make it visible only when the user taps on the screen. until then keep the toolbar hidden. when the user clicks for the second time on the screen hide ur toolbar. this way u can have the whole view for ur pics and also have a toolbar for giving options.
I am working on a mobile version for my company's web app. The structure of this application requires uitableviews with a tab bar on the bottom and a navigation bar up top to return to the previous view. As you drill down in the application the tab bar items change at each level allowing selection of different views pertaining to that specific level in the app. I need a way to implement this with a navigation bar on top that navigates back to the previous screen on every tab in said tab bar when a back button is clicked on any of the tabs.
for example: let's say i start out with an items tab and a simple about tab. When i click items it drills down to a new view called subitems and the tabs for this view are subitems, favorites, details, and notes. I want the navigation bar to go back to the previous screen when i click the back button on any one of these four tabs.
Is this at all possible? I can't seem to find anything related to this type of structuring within an app. any help/examples would be greatly appreciated.
I know that a negative answer always sounds bad, but I tried to do the same a few months ago and I could not find a way of doing it using the standard UITabBarController/UITabBar. Take also a look at this question/answer.
The good news is that it is not that difficult to implement from scratch a tab bar controller that can be pushed on a navigation stack. There are also several examples around, one is BCTabBarController. GtabBar is another example.
I actually found a way to do it you just have to implement the navigation bar's leftbarbuttonitem instead of the traditional back button. Then I just created a method that is invoked when the back button is pushed this updates the navigation stacks of all four views within the tab bar and sets the tab bar items accordingly to match with the previous views we are navigating back to. . . so long story short...it is possible.
