I have a tab bar application.
Here's launching code
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
// Override point for customization after application launch.
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
self.tabBarController=[[UITabBarController alloc] init];
StartViewController *startViewController=[[StartViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"StartViewController" bundle:nil];
NavRootViewController *navRootViewController=[[NavRootViewController alloc] initWithNavControllerWithSubViewController:startViewController];
HelpViewController *helpViewController=[[HelpViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"HelpViewController" bundle:nil];
SettingsViewController *settingsViewController=[[SettingsViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"SettingsViewController" bundle:nil];
AboutUsViewController *aboutUsViewController=[[AboutUsViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"AboutUsViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.tabBarController setViewControllers:[NSArray arrayWithObjects: navRootViewController, helpViewController, settingsViewController, aboutUsViewController, nil]];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES];
self.window.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
self.window.rootViewController=self.tabBarController;
Application launched with 4 tab bar tabs.
This action is called after user presses start button in the first tab's navigation controller's root view controller
-(IBAction)startPressed:(id)sender
{
NSLog(#"startPressed: called");
RootViewController *vController=[[RootViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"RootViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:vController animated:YES];
}
This works fine but I need to hide tab bar for my RootViewController
property hidesBottomBarWhenPushed does not work.
Help me please, how can it be done?
I hope this helps you:
- (void)viewWillAppear: (BOOL)animated
{
self.hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = YES;
}
Yea you have to add the modalview on window not on the viewcontroller of tabBar.
Try something like.. make an object of AppDelegate like:
AppDelegate *appDelegate=[[UIApplication sharedApplication]delegate];
then in next line add
[appDelegate.window.rootviewcontroller.view presentModalViewController:vController animated:YES];
or add your code [self presentModalViewController:vController animated:YES] in the viewDidAppear of the firstviewcontroller of tabBar.
What did you do to solve the problem??I would like to know that also.
If you don't want the main view to show the tab bar, you shouldn't be pushing it onto the navigation controller. Doing this causes the application to assume that this new controller is part of the navigation hierarchy. What is probably the best solution is to start your application on the RootViewController, and then present the navigation controller modally. When you're done with the navigation controller, have it call dismissModalViewController on itself.
Solved using this code:
-(IBAction)startPressed:(id)sender
{
NSLog(#"startPressed: called");
RootViewController *vController=[[RootViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"RootViewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *navController=[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:vController];
[vController setModalTransitionStyle:UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve];
[((AppDelegate *)[UIApplication sharedApplication].delegate).tabBarController presentModalViewController:navController animated:YES];
}
Thanks to #iPhone Developer
UIViewController *nextViewController = [[UIViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"NextViewController" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
// hide UITabbarController
nextViewController.hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = YES;
[self.navigationController pushViewController:nextViewController animated:YES];
[nextViewController release];

I want to create something like below.
RootView does not have TabBar, From the second view there should be TabBar.
What I have currently done is, I am using UINavigationController as controller calass
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
UIViewController *rootController = [[ViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"ViewController" bundle:nil];
navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:rootController];
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
[self.window addSubview:navigationController.view];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
But how can I use UITabBar with tabBarController from SecondViewController?
create the objects of the second view and then push your view with the tabbarcontroller
From Storyboard embed your SecondViewController in TabBar. Select your controller and go to Editor -> Embed in -> TabBar Controller! I'm from my mobile..sorry if i have any mispells!
You need to push your Tabbar controller's object. Initialize your tab bar controller's object and add all other controller objects to the tabbar controller's viewcontroller array.
On button action:-
1> Initialize tab bar controller and suppose you name its object as objTab;
2> objTab.viewcontrollers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:..] ---> Objects of all viewcontrollers that are a part of your tab bar controller. Thus all objects need to be created first.
3> self.navigationcontroller pushViewController: objTAb
Something like this should do the trick (not using ARC):
//vc1, vc2, vc3 = your view controllers
NSArray *viewControllersArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:vc1,vc2,vc3, nil];
UITabBarController *tabBarController = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];
[tabBarController setViewControllers:viewControllersArray];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:tabBarController animated:YES];
[tabBarController release];
What you want to do is create the UITabBarController and push that along the navigation stack.
For Sample Write loadnewview method at appdelegate .Use buttonPressed method for button action or any object action of first view controller as shown below to display tab bar from second view controller.
I have taken two tabs for sample so I wrote Capacity as 2. You can take up to 5.
-(IBAction)buttonPressed:(id)sender
{
HomeViewController *homeVC=[[HomeViewController alloc]initWithNibName:#"HomeViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:homeVC animated:YES];
[appDelegate loadnewview];
}
-(void)loadnewview
{
if(!self.tabBarController)
self.tabBarController = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];
self.tabBarController.delegate=self;
NSMutableArray *localcontrollerarray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:2];
UIViewController *viewController1 = [[HomeViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"HomeViewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *navi1 = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:viewController1];
[localcontrollerarray addObject:navi1];
UIViewController *viewController2 = [[ScanViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"ScanViewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *navi2 = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:viewController2];
[localcontrollerarray addObject:navi2];
self.tabBarController.viewControllers = localcontrollerarray;
[self.window addSubview:self.tabBarController.view];
}
use this type of method in AppDelegate.m and property-synthesize UITabBarController and store array of viewcontroller in it also in application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method just assign navigationViewController as a RootViewController like bellow..
RootViewController *masterViewController = [[[RootViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"RootViewController" bundle:nil] autorelease];
self.navigationController = [[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:masterViewController] autorelease];
after then when you want to add TabBar to any view at that time call this bellow method like this..
[appDelegate addTabBarControllerInwindow];
-(void)addTabBarControllerInwindow
{
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:1.0];
[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromLeft forView:self.window cache:YES];
[self.navigationController.view removeFromSuperview];
[self.window addSubview:[tabBarController view]];//tabBarController.view
[UIView commitAnimations];
}
Create an Application using Tab Bar Controller and on the ViewDidLoad method of the view controller for which you want to hide the tab bar use code:
[self.tabBarController.tabBar setHidden:YES];
And don't forget to unhide the tab bar using the same code replacing NO instead of YES for the view controller for which you want to show the tab bar.
I already have the basic code for a utility application, but when the application flips to the second view I want to add a tabbarItem to the bottom of the flipped view only, if the view is flipped back to the original view the tab bar shouldn't show up. How can I add this feature, I'm using simulator 4.1 by the way, thanks!
Here's the code that shows the flipped side when the button is clicked, I want it to flip to a tab bar controller instead.
- (IBAction)showInfo:(id)sender {
FlipsideViewController *controller = [[FlipsideViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"FlipsideView" bundle:nil];
controller.delegate = self;
controller.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal;
[self presentModalViewController:controller animated:YES];
[controller release];
}
You can hide the UITabbar by using the following code
[yourTabBar setHidden :YES];
and show it using the following code
[yourTabBar setHidden:NO];
By Show/Setup do you mean adding the tabbar controller on the view??Well i am assuming that..You can Add the tabbar controller as a rootviewcontroller of your window i.e. your AppDelegate.Here is the sample Code:
UIViewController *viewController1 = [[FirstViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"FirstViewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *navCon1=[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:viewController1];
UIViewController *viewController2 = [[SecondViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"SecondViewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *navCon2=[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:viewController2];
UIViewController *viewController3=[[ThirdViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"ThirdViewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *navCon3=[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:viewController3];
self.tabBarController = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];
self.tabBarController.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:navCon1, navCon2,navCon3, nil];
self.window.rootViewController = self.tabBarController;
You're switching between two UIViewControllers, right? Let the second view controller, the one that appears after flipping, be a UITabBarViewController.
This is a view based application.
in delegate.m file I have done like this to launch login screen initially:
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application
{
[window addSubview:viewController.view];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
LoginView *loginView=[[LoginView alloc]initWithNibName:#"LoginView" bundle:nil];
[window addSubview:loginView.view];
}
By adding the above code I have launched login screen sucessfully, but at the bottom of my login screen I can see a space left out.
How can the tab bar controller get launched after sucessful login?
i have creatd a method called login in my LoginView.m file:
-(void)login
{
if(login)
{
TabBarController *tabBarController = [[TabBarController alloc] initWithNibName:#"TabBarController" bundle:nil];
[self.view addSubView: aTabBarController.view];
}
[aTabBarController release];
Please help me out of this with the appropriate code.
you have to create on method in appDelegate like.. and In appDelegate.h you have to create an object like this
UITabBarController *Obj_tabbar;
and then in .m file,
-(void) switchToTabbarController
{
Obj_tabbar.delegate = self;
Obj_tabbar.selectedIndex = 0;
Tracking_HomeVC *obj = [[Tracking_HomeVC alloc]init];
[self tabBarController:Obj_tabbar didSelectViewController:obj];
[self.window addSubview:Obj_tabbar.view];
}
// At this point Tracking_HomeVC is the first view controller of the TabbarController. and it will be added on window.
- (void)tabBarController:(UITabBarController *)tabBarController didSelectViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController
{
if([tabBarController selectedIndex] == 0)
{
//Write your code here to do with the first view controller object.
}
}
and then call it from your LoginView like..
-(void)LoginPressed
{
AppAppDelegate *delegate =(AppAppDelegate *) [[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
[delegate switchToTabbarController];
}
Your login view (or it's controller if you have one which it looks like you don't) should tell the appDelegate to swap the RootViewController to be a taBarController. You do NOT want the loginview to be trying to add a tabBar as a child of itself.
One way of doing it is creating a tabbarcontroller like normal in your appdelegate and set it as rootviewcontroller:
TOTabBarController *tabBarController = [[TOTabBarController alloc] init];
UIViewController *vc1 = [[UIViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
UIViewController *vc2 = [[UIViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
UIViewController *vc3 = [[UIViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *vc2_nc = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:vc2];
UINavigationController *vc3_nc = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:vc3];
NSArray *viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:vc1, vc2_nc, vc3_nc, nil];
[tabBarController setViewControllers:viewControllers];
//set tabbarcontroller as rootviewcontroller
[[self window] setRootViewController:tabBarController];
Then display the login screen modally (without animation) if the user is not logged in:
if (not logged in) {
UIViewController *lvc_nc = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
[[[self window] rootViewController] presentModalViewController:lvc_nc animated:NO];
}
Hope that helps!
How to add navigation bar on to ViewBased application [templet]
The following code will present a new navigation controller.
MyViewController *v = [[MyViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"MyViewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *t = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:v];
[self presentModalViewController:t animated:true];
[t release];
[v release];
Otherwise, u can add the navigation bar to the nib file associated with the viewcontroller directly.
In your AppDelegate.m-file, add this under applicationDidFinishLaunching (or something like that).
UINavigationBar *navigationBar = [[UINavigationBar alloc] init];
[window addSubview:navigationBar];
How can I navigate from one page to another page in xcode? remember without using the interface builder... I want the answer programmatically?
Pls be more precise if you want to get what you want.
If you are using view controllers within navigationcontroller you can make use of its pushViewController: or presentModalViewController:. Or if you just want to show another view you can just add the next view to existing view as subview.
Although your question is not much clear but still I would like to give a try...
You can use
UIViewController *yourViewController = [[YourViewControllerClass alloc] initWithNibName:#"<name of xib>" bundle:nil];
[self presentModalViewController:yourViewController animated:YES];
[yourViewController release];
In case the new view is also to be created programmatically, you can do that in the viewDidLoad method of YourViewControllerClass and change the initialization to
UIViewController *yourViewController = [[YourViewControllerClass alloc] init];
In YourViewController when you wish to come back to previous view on some button action you can use
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
Another way that you can do is
UIViewController *yourViewController = [[YourViewControllerClass alloc] init];
[self addSubview:[yourViewController view]];
and to remove the view you can use
[self.view removeFromSuperview];
Hope this works for you, if yes please communicate....:)
//Appdelegate.m
-(BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
self.viewController = [[ViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"ViewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *navigation = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:self.viewController];
self.window.rootViewController = navigation;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
//In viewcontroller1.M
- (IBAction)GoToNext:(id)sender
{
ViewController2 *vc2 = [[ViewController2 alloc] init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:vc2 animated:YES];
}
