create UITabbarController with UITableViewController xib in xcode 4.3 - iphone

I'm new in iPhone, I want to create UItabbarController with 4 tabs, each tab contains UItableViewControllers in xib for both iPhone and iPad and want (h & m) files for each table.
Consider that I'm using Xcode 4.3 with iPhone 5.1 and I'm not want to use storyboard.
is there are any good tutorial to do this?
Thanks in advance.

First of all you do not need to create a new UItabbarController.You can use default tabbar controller and what you need is adding 4 tab bar items as UItableViewControllers to uitabbar controller.
You can refer to this tutorial about tabbabcontrollers

Bottom button not showing in iOS Simulator

I am developing an app for iOS in which i took new ViewController
In that ViewController i dragged two UIButtons
Here is the image of .xib file
:
but when i run this project in my simulator i am unable to see my bottom button, you can see here in my simulator,
:
Where i am doing mistake ? i am not using autolayout because my deployment target is iOS 4.3
Thanks in advance.
if we create the navigationbar and tabbar programmatically then occupies a space in our viewcontroller so if we need to set our viewcontroller from .xib properly then we must have to left the space of navigation and tabbar by selectin those from .xib so that we can have exact space left for our other stuff i'm glad that it helped you. you're welcome. :)
It seems that your trouble caused by tab bar, that you create from code. I assume, you will see your button in case of simple comment line with tab bar creation. As this button is hidden, you can change it's y position or change size of your view in xib file.
I have observed such problems when we are using different sizes of .xib and iPhone simulator
i mean to say if u are using Ratina 4 for .xib .. make sure that u r also using iPhone simulator of Ratina 4 and the frame of TabBar Controller should b (0,0,320,568)
And in the case of Ratina 3.5 it should be (0,0,320,480)

How do I add a tab bar to the storyboard of an existing project?

I have used storyboard for the very fist time. The app is 80% complete by now and became slightly more complex than I thought originally. I think the user experience could be improved by using a tab view for the application and separate certain parts into tabs so that the user can easily switch between them. I am familiar with building tab bar apps programmatically and using IB classic (w/o storyboard) but I am currently a bit lost. How do I add a tab bar controller to the storyboard of an existing project?
Here is a guide with code and screenshot creating a uitabbarcontroller programmatically with storyboards and this Beginning Storyboards in iOS 5 Part 1

Custom Tab Bar with StoryBoard and Xcode 4.2

I've designed my iPhone app in Photoshop and now I have all the PNG files of my project.
I have Xcode 4.2 and iOS 5. What I would like to do is to customize the tab bar of my app. I've done the things on storyboard, but I do not know how to implement the PNG tab bar in the storyboard. I've written the source code of the customized tab bar, but when I run it in the simulator it doesn't display the ViewController which IS already done on the StoryBord.
So, the question is: how to attach the new tab bar design with Xcode Storyboard?
If you've subclassed the UITabBar and written code to customize it, you'll need to set the tab bar's class to your subclass in the identity inspector. Click the tab bar in your storyboard and set it's class:
Then it should begin using your custom code.

Unable to change style of UITableView to Grouped in Interface Builder

It'a s simple app, window based.
The window has a UINavigation Controller, and the Controller has a UITableView built from
New File-UIViewController subclass- UITableViewController option check.
I set the style for the UITableView to Grouped in the Interface Builder, but the table stayed Plain in the Simulator.
I wonder if I missed any options?

tViewController is a subclass of UITableViewController so it's creating a tableView for you and ignoring yours. Change the superclass of tViewController to UIViewController and it will use the tableView you have defined in IB.
Make sure you've properly specified the nib file (remember: iOS is case sensitive) for the controller and connected the table in the nib to File's Owner. Otherwise, the controller will create its own table, which is probably what's happening.

Convert Xcode view-based app to navigation-based app?

Newbie question: is there an easy way to convert a view-based app to a navigation-based app? I have an existing app sample that was created as a view-based app, and need to be able to create additional viewcontrollers that can be nested. The app is currently using presentModalViewController calls and nibs to display windows. Trying to change these to pushViewController calls results in the views not being displayed. So I'm assuming it's because the pushViewController needs to use a Navigation view. Thanks in advance!
Since you're admittedly a newbie, I would take the approach of creating a new navigation-based project and copying over your .xib and .m/.h files.
If you want to do it the hard way :), you'll add a NavigationController object to your MainWindow.xib. Then add a UINavigationController member and outlet and property to your app delegate, and connect it in interface builder to the navigation controller. At the end of your application:didFinishLaunching: method in your app delegate, set the window's view to navigationController.view. Back in MainWindow.xib, set the root navigation item to the view controller that used to be displayed at launch.
In you applicationDidFinishLaunching:, create a UINavigationController and add its view to the view hierarchy, then save it off to an ivar.
This is exactly what the navigation-based template is doing. There is nothing special about a "view-based" or "navigation-based" app,.
