I am trying to figure out a way to make a tab bar controller within a tab bar view.
Basically, if the initial tab bar controller links to tab1, tab2, and tab3, I want a tab bar to exist within tab1 that branches out to Day1, Day2, and Day3.
So far I've been failing, and I'm wondering if it's programmatically possible.
The tab bar in tab1 has to be at the top, too, and does that mean I need a custom tab bar?
Thank you.
If you want to have a tab bar at the top, you will need to create one on your own. I believe you can just add in a NavigationController and link it to a ViewController so that the view controller has a nav bar at the top. You could then just add UIBarButtonItems that link to different TabBarControllers where the tabs would be on the bottom.

I have a UITabBarController. Originally I had it connected to 4 UINavigationControllers and each tab would function as expected. Each would navigate to the appropriate view and the tab bar would remain visible allowing the user to switch between tabs.
Now I wanted to connect another UINavigationController to the UITabBarController; essentially creating a fifth tab. I connected the UITabBarController to the new UINavigationController using a Relationship Segue successfully creating a fifth tab. However, when the fifth tab is pressed, the view is shown but there is no tab bar, thus preventing the user from navigating to any other screen.
The Bottom Bar setting is set to 'Inferred' just like the other views but it still does not show the tab bar. Why is the tab bar not showing and how can I make it appear?
Note that the UIViewController not displaying the tab bar has connections to it from other View Controllers but I don't see why this would affect the tab bar displaying.
Silly error on my part. The check box to Hide Bottom Bar When Pushed was checked so unchecking this solved the problem.
So I have this application where I have a view controller (which I want to appear first when the app starts) and a tab bar controller. I also have other navigation bar controllers that are in the tab bar controller. I want to place my view controller on top of the tab bar controller. Making the tab bar controller the parent of the view controller would be better though.
But take note, I do not want a tab bar item to represent the view controller and I want the tab bar to appear along with the view controller. I do not and would not want to use storyboards as much as possible. How can i achieve this?
I guess the simplest solution would be to use a screenshot of your tabBar and put it in your HomeViewController as a button. In this case you could use your HomeViewController as rootViewController and in the button action you set the TabBarController as the rootViewController.
Root = Home + Button
-->
Root = TabBar
Perhaps you need four buttons, if you want the correct tab to be selected.
I have added an UITabBarController. My requirement is to display a view with tab bar controller. but that view is not part of the tab bar items. For example my tab bar contains 3 tabs
contacts
camera
history
Generally if we add tabbar controller contacts will be get selected and that view will be displayed automatically. but i don't want in that way...
i used [tabBarcontroller setSelectedViewController=nil];
i am able to get a tab bat with non of the tab get selected. but when i am trying to select a tab item it's not working.. I think i set the selectedViewController to nil. is there any other way to achieve my requirements...?
please explain your answer clearly.. i am new to iphone app development..
Present a view controller which is not a part of your tab bar controller and put a tab bar image/buttons at the bottom of it which resembles your tab bar. When you receive a button pressed message from within that view controller, show that tab on screen.
I have an issue with a tab bar app. I am making a tab bar app with three bars on the bottom. On my my first bar it is a tableviewcontroller. When i ckick on the table view controller it takes me to a different view (which doesn't have the tab bar). When I clicked back to the home screen (which has the tab) the tab bar is gone.If you need a picture i will post it!
You may have set your UITableViewController segue to a modal style. If this is the case, you should change it to a push style.
In order for a push to work, your view controller needs to be in a UINavigationController. In your story board, select your root view controller and embed it into a Navigation Controller like this...
I have a navigation based app, in one of the screen I now want to add a tab bar. Can any one please share code snippet on how I can do that. Thanks
the common way is to add a navigation view to one within a tab view, not vice versa. as far as i know it is not possible to add a tab bar to a navigation view.
You could call a modal view that uses an underlying tab bar. Another idea is to use the tab bar for the whole app and hide the bar for the views where you don't want it to show up.
