I am facing a problem with creating a custom UITabbar with colored icons for tabs. I have been trying to find any custom control for that but unfortunately cannot so far. I have already search the StackOverFlow DB and it has nothing that matches my criteria. The only thing closest to my requirement has been a view with a bunch of button on the bottom but I need to do it through UITabbar Customization. Need some directions fellows.
Thanks!
The sample code available here will help you https://github.com/aalittle/ALCustomTabBarController
i Hope this demo help you for what you need.

I having a problem with my project. I followed code-less strotyboard implementation. My menubar isn't show correctly as you can see my pictures below. I also read a example of yours but I could not find solution. Is anyone using tjis cocoapod help me please. I stuck for this for long
My storyboard
My results in simulator here
So i have e few questions since i can't really tell what's going on in the storyboard.
Is the "Page one View Controller" embedded in a "Navigation controller"?
I have noticed that the style of the CELL. needs to be Basic.
It is "Custom" from the beginning.
Change that if you haven't.
So I'm working on an app but I'm pretty new to Xcode and swift itself, so thats what i have right now [textview color is just to show you its size]

But this is what I want:

i thought using top and bottom layout guides would help, but I'm totally lost. If anyone could help that'd be amazing! :)
I'm sorry, but i am new to this :/
One simple way to do this is to drag the text view between nav bar and tool bar, and then pin its top and bottom edges to nearest neighbors (in this case, nav bar and tool bar), like this:

NOTE: make sure its edges are in between bars, not overlapping them. Also uncheck the Constrain to margins -box.
I got it to look like this very quickly:

There are many other ways to do this, and this is just one of them. Search for storyboards tutorials and you'll find many good tutorials how to use Interface Builder. :)
I am trying to create a custom UITabBar. I have the regular UITabBarController working fine, but optimally, I wish to get it looking like this:
What is the best way to approach this? I can't seem to find any useful examples in Monotouch.
Thanks
The way I figured to make a tab bar like that, is just a bunch of custom buttons that are arranged and programmed to look like a tab bar, but really they are just buttons. I was able to recreate the instagram tab bar in one of my apps and it looks fairly similar. That's the only way I could figure how to do this type of tab bar when I was teaching myself.
Hope that helps.
There are some really good explanations around for how to do custom tab bars - especially on http://idevrecipes.com/2010/12/16/raised-center-tab-bar-button/ - source on https://github.com/boctor/idev-recipes/tree/master/RaisedCenterTabBar
I believe I have seen a github monotouch sample of this same code but I can't find it right now!
Im developing a tabbar application.
There are almost 7 tabs in this app.
Usuall when we add more than 5 tabs a "more button"will come and rest of options will come under that "More option".
But i found a very interesting app in app store and they are moving the tabbar to left and right(just like we do in scroll view) like in the image below.
How can i implement this.
Can anyone help me with this please.
Thanks in advance.
As far as I can see, it's 2 custom UIButtons placed over the tabBar that may programmatically rearrange the tab options on their IBActions. What makes me say that is that the highlighted area of the last tab is just normal, and the arrows does not seem as well placed as what Apple could have done by standard.
You can use custom tabBar, like InfiniTabBar, nice and functional.

I'm new to iPhone development, and I wanted to create an app with tab bar and navigation.
I came across an article that helped me to achieve that: http://www.devx.com/wireless/Article/45161/
However, I got confused why we need to create a new UITableViewController subclass, but not program directly in FirstViewController? Which seems no use but just for tab bar. I actually tried that but not work.
Please kindly read the article which is simple and help me to understand that, thank you in advance!
You did understand, as you said: The FirstViewController is just there for presentation reasons. For showing an example of a tabbed UI you should have at least 2 controllers. This is what the example teaches you.
