I am unable to see NavigationBar on my TabView Controller.
I tried to add two tabs.
The class hierarchy is like below.
Please help.
ViewControllerOne : UIViewController
ViewControllerTwo : UIViewController
TabViewController : UITabBarController
ViewControllerOne *viewFirst = [[ViewControllerOne alloc]init];
ViewControllerOther *viewSecond = [[ViewControllerOther alloc]init];
[self.tabBarController.navigationController setViewControllers:#[viewFirst, viewSecond]];
[self.tabBarController.navigationController setTitle:#"TITLE TITLE"];
viewFirst.title=#"ONE";
viewFirst.tabBarItem.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"first.png"];
viewSecond.title=#"TWO";
viewSecond.tabBarItem.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"second.png"];
viewFirst.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor grayColor];
viewSecond.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
self.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:viewFirst, viewSecond, nil];
I'm not sure what "self" is, but it looks like it is just a random view controller. More context on that would be good, but I'll try to throw some thoughts.
It looks like you're trying to set viewFirst and viewSecond as a navigation stack, rather then the two different tabs. It also appears like you aren't placing those controllers within UINavigationControllers. Try something more along these lines:
ViewControllerOne *one = [[ViewControllerOne alloc] init];
one.title = #"ONE";
one.tabBarItem.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"first.png"];
one.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor grayColor];
UINavigationController *navOne = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:one];
ViewControllerTwo *two = [[ViewControllerOne alloc] init];
two.title = #"SECOND";
two.tabBarItem.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"second.png"];
two.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
UINavigationController *navTwo = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:two];
TabViewController *tabController = [[TabViewController alloc] init];
[tabController setViewControllers:#[navOne, navTwo] animated:NO];
Make sure that the tabController is the key UIWindow's root view controller.

I want to create a tabBar in my app but only in a detailView not in the AppDelegate. I am searching how to do this in google but everything what I have figured out is in AppDelegate.m
I am trying to do something like this. This shows me a Tab bar with two buttons(without names) but I want to go from one FirstViewController with tabBar, to one of the two items SecondViewController or ThirdViewController with a navigationBar with one backItemButton for get back to the FirstViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
[self setupTabBar];
}
- (void) setupTabBar {
tabBars = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];
NSMutableArray *localViewControllersArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:4];
YPProfileViewController *profile = [[YPProfileViewController alloc] init];
YPProfileViewController *profile2 = [[YPProfileViewController alloc] init];
[localViewControllersArray addObject:profile];
[localViewControllersArray addObject:profile2];
tabBars.tabBarItem = profile2;
tabBars.viewControllers = localViewControllersArray;
tabBars.view.autoresizingMask==(UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight);
[self.view addSubview:tabBars.view];
}
at least this works for me.
UIViewController *vc1 = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
vc1.title = #"FIRST";
vc1.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor blueColor];
UIViewController *vc2 = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
vc2.title = #"SECOND";
vc2.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
UITabBarController *tabBar = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];
tabBar.viewControllers = #[vc1,vc2];
tabBar.selectedIndex = 1;
tabBar.view.frame = CGRectMake(50, 50, 220, 320);
[tabBar willMoveToParentViewController:self];
[self.view addSubview:tabBar.view];
[self addChildViewController:tabBar];
[tabBar didMoveToParentViewController:self];
In a UITabBarController, upon selecting a tab, I want that tab's UIViewController to change (assign a new viewcontroller). I'm trying this-
NSMutableArray *tabBarViewControllers = [myUITabBarController.viewControllers mutableCopy];
[tabbarViewControllers replaceObjectAtIndex:0 withObject:[[myViewcontroller1 alloc] init]];
[myUITabBarController setViewControllers:tabbarViewControllers];
But it gives error. How to assign a new UIViewController and refresh instantly?
This is based on femina's answer but doesn't require you to build the whole array of view controllers, it just lets you replace an existing view controller with another. In my case I wanted to swap in a different xib file for the iPhone 5 screen:
if ([[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size.height == 568) {
NSMutableArray *viewControllers = [NSMutableArray arrayWithArray:self.tabBarController.viewControllers];
Tracking *tracking568h = [[Tracking alloc] initWithNibName:#"Tracking-568h" bundle:nil];
tracking568h.title = [[viewControllers objectAtIndex:0] title];
tracking568h.tabBarItem = [[viewControllers objectAtIndex:0] tabBarItem];
[viewControllers replaceObjectAtIndex:0 withObject:tracking568h];
[tracking568h release];
[self.tabBarController setViewControllers:viewControllers animated:FALSE];
}
This changes the view controller for the first tab, keeping the same tab icon and label.
Please see this code , it offers 2 tabbar's with navigation.
In the AppDelegate.h please declare
UINavigationController *nav1;
UINavigationController *nav2;
UITabBarController *tab;
And in the Appdelegate.m , in the didFinishLaunchingWithOptions please add:-
tab = [[UITabBarController alloc]init];
ViewController *view1 = [[ViewController alloc]init];
nav1= [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:view1];
UITabBarItem *tab1 = [[UITabBarItem alloc]initWithTitle:#"Add" image:[UIImage imageNamed:#"Plus.png"] tag:1];
view1.title = #"Add";
[view1 setTabBarItem:tab1];
SettingsViewController *view2 = [[SettingsViewController alloc]init];
nav2= [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:view2];
UITabBarItem *tab2 = [[UITabBarItem alloc]initWithTitle:#"Setting" image:[UIImage imageNamed:#"settings.png"] tag:2];
view2.title = #"Setting";
[view2 setTabBarItem:tab2];
tab.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:nav1,nav2,nil];
self.window.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
self.window.rootViewController = tab;
Also check this link for further implementation ... Hope this helps :)
UItabBar changing View Controllers
In the AppDelegate.h
UIViewController *vc1;
UIViewController *vc2;
UIViewController *vc3;
in the Appdelegate.m
in the didFinishLaunchingWithOptions
NSMutableArray *listOfViewControllers = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
vc1 = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
vc1.title = #"A";
[listOfViewControllers addObject:vc1];
vc2 = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
vc2.title = #"B";
[listOfViewControllers addObject:vc2];
vc3 = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
vc3.title = #"C";
[listOfViewControllers addObject:vc3];
[self.tabBarController setViewControllers:listOfViewControllers
animated:YES];
How do I integrate a UITabbarcontroller in a UIViewController class not in the app delegate? I was suppose to make a login view and after it the UITabBarController appears which was created in a UIViewController class? Can anyone suggest what needs to be done? thanks
You can still put the UITabBarController in the App Delegate, when the login is done, just tell the app delegate, and switch the them:
self.window.rootViewController=tabBarController;
if your Application is Navigation Based App, then Create TabBarController(with ViewControllers how many you want to add) and add it on Navigation Controller, like this
UITabBarController *tabBarController = [Utility configureMessagesTabBArController];
self.navigationController.navigationBarHidden=YES;
[self.navigationController pushViewController:tabBarController animated:YES];
[tabBarController release];
here is configureMessagesTabBArController Method from Utility class
+(UITabBarController *)configureMessagesTabBArController
{
UITabBarController *tabBarController = [[UITabBarController alloc]init];
AktuellesViewController *aktuelles_Controller = [[AktuellesViewController alloc]init];
TermineViewController *termine_Controller = [[TermineViewController alloc]init];
TopTenViewController *topTen_Controller = [[TopTenViewController alloc]init];
MediathekViewController *mediathek_Controller = [[MediathekViewController alloc]init];
KontaktViewController *kontakt_Controller = [[KontaktViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *nav1 = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:aktuelles_Controller];
UINavigationController *nav2 = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:termine_Controller];
UINavigationController *nav3 = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:topTen_Controller];
UINavigationController *nav4 = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:mediathek_Controller];
UINavigationController *nav5 = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:kontakt_Controller];
nav1.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor blackColor];
nav2.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor blackColor];
nav3.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor blackColor];
nav4.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor blackColor];
nav5.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor blackColor];
[tabBarController setViewControllers:[[NSArray alloc]initWithObjects:nav1,nav2,nav3,nav4,nav5,nil]];
[nav1 release];
[nav2 release];
[nav3 release];
[nav4 release];
[nav5 release];
[aktuelles_Controller release];
[termine_Controller release];
[topTen_Controller release];
[mediathek_Controller release];
[kontakt_Controller release];
return tabBarController;
}
I am trying to achieve the below attach image on the UITabbar.
http://i.imgur.com/7Tukx.png
It's pretty straight forward, on selection the tab expand with a label to display text and on selection on another tab, the selected tab will collapse.
I am not really sure how to do this with the UItabbar.
I will appreciate if anyone could point me in the right direction.
for the custom tab you use this method on appdelegate class
this method create two tab bar item.
and you set your image..
-(void)SetTabs
{
tabBarController = [[UITabBarController alloc]init];
NSMutableArray *localControllerArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc]initWithCapacity:2];
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"home.png"];
GreetingCardsViewController *GreetingCardsView = [[[GreetingCardsViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"GreetingCardsViewController" bundle:nil] autorelease];
UITabBarItem *item = [[UITabBarItem alloc]initWithTitle:#"Home" image:image tag:0];
UINavigationController *GreetingCardsViewNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:GreetingCardsView];
GreetingCardsView.tabBarItem = item;
[localControllerArray addObject:GreetingCardsViewNavigationController];
UIImage *image1 = [UIImage imageNamed:#"heart1.png"];
Cards *CardView = [[[Cards alloc] initWithNibName:#"Cards" bundle:nil] autorelease];
UITabBarItem *item1 = [[UITabBarItem alloc]initWithTitle:#"Cards" image:image1 tag:1];
UINavigationController *CardNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:CardView];
CardNavigationController.tabBarItem = item1;
[localControllerArray addObject:CardNavigationController];
[tabBarController setViewControllers:localControllerArray];
[_window addSubview:tabBarController.view];
[localControllerArray release];
}
I'm not entirely sure what you're after, however I think this may be relevant to you. You could use the basic concept and tweak it to what you need.
i am using tab bar control in my app and want to use the default search icon in one of my tab. I am making the tab bar programmically but i am not able to find a property where i can specify UITabBarSystemItemSearch item which i find in apple documentation. Following is my code for tab bar
CouponsViewController *coupons = [[CouponsViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *couponsNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:coupons];
couponsNavigationController.tabBarItem.title = #"Coupons";
couponsNavigationController.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.0 green:0.0 blue:0.0 alpha:0.1];
[coupons release];
SettingsViewController *settings = [[SettingsViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *settingsNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:settings];
settingsNavigationController.tabBarItem.title = #"Settings";
settingsNavigationController.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.0 green:0.0 blue:0.0 alpha:0.1];
[settings release];
ProfileViewController *profile = [[ProfileViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *profileNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:profile];
profileNavigationController.tabBarItem.title = #"Profile";
profileNavigationController.tabBarItem.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"profileImg.png"];
profileNavigationController.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.0 green:0.0 blue:0.0 alpha:0.1];
[profile release];
[tabBarController setViewControllers:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:loyaltyNavigationController,searchNavigationController,couponsNavigationController,settingsNavigationController,profileNavigationController,nil] animated:NO];
tabBarController.delegate=self;
tabBarController.selectedIndex=0;
[window addSubview:tabBarController.view];
execute this code in your UIViewController subclass that you are putting into the tab bar. This is best done in your view controller's initializer method:
- (id) init
{
self.title = #"search";
self.tabBarItem = [[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTabBarSystemItem:UITabBarSystemItemSearch
tag:0];
return self;
}
