By default, a UITabBarController will only return YES to the shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation: message if every one of its child controllers returns YES to that message. The behavior you're seeing is the expected behavior.

UINavigationController with strange behavior

I am developing an application with the following structure,
Each of the three compoenentes has a UINavigationController associated with.
This application is intended to be identical to facebook.
My problem is that in landscape mode, the "POP" actions of navigations have a strange performance, making the animation from the bottom to the top, as if the navigation had not done the rotation, despite the layout being changed to landscape.
I put all the navigation controller with:
[navCenter.navigationBar setAutoresizesSubviews:YES];
[navCenter shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:YES];
Any idea why this happen?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
If i remove my
[self addChildViewController:self.mainConteinar];
The animation works good. But now, the NavigationBars didn't resize.
You should check all your
- (BOOL)shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation
What you describe sounds as if you forgot to return YES for landscape orientation in one of your child view controllers.

adding subview problem

I am having the following problem while adding a subview to navigation controller. I even have tried to modify the Y location of frame before and after adding the subview but not effective.
Also tried to put a status bar on the child view but nothing is working.
Many Thanks.
You have a problem with a fullScreen IB checkbox or a fullscreen property set programmaticaly. Don't you call somewhere something like viewController.setStatusBarVisible = NO. Check it, I had the same problem.
EDIT : Does those questions / anwers help ?
iPhone - ModalViewController not raising to top of the screen
iPhone - displaying NavigationBar on a fullscreen modalView makes it go down with transparent space on top
Thank you very much everyone of you. I don't know what was the issue but instead of adding subview now I am using pushViewController and I am pushing the viewcontroller to the parent navigation controller. This solved the issue.
Thank you all of you once again.

uitabbarcontroller 'moreviewcontroller' orientation

I could rotate my tabbarcontroller app in every orientation previously - however - as I have now exceeded the set amount of fixed tabbaritems the tabbarcontroller has automatically added the'moreviewcontroller' and now the app wont change its orientation (I imagine as the more view controller has not been set the "shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation" return value.
where if possible can I set it to allow for device orientation.
or is this not supported?
Thanks in advance.
It should still just handle it. Are you absolutely sure all of your view controllers are returning YES for shouldAutorotateToInterfaceOrientation:? Are they all the top level VCs that are in your UITabBarController, or are any of them now wrapped in something else which isn't supporting rotation?

how to Unhighlight the tabbaritem

I have three TabBarItem in a TabBar . In one case, i want to remove the TabBarItem selection from any of the three TabBarItems . i.e., the complete TabBar will not show any TabBarItems selected. Can i achieve it?
Kindly help me regarding on this.
Thanks
No. While this may be technically possible, it is likely a violation of Apple's Human Interface Guidelines. If a tab bar is on display, the current view's tab should be highlighted. What does the tab bar represent in your app? If it's not used to switch between views, consider employing a UISegmentedControl instead.
yes Justin's right.When you think about it showing none of the tab bar items as selected doesn't make any sense.

UISearchDisplayController,UINavigationController,UITabBarController Woes

Hey everyone, running into a bit of an issue,
I have created all my views through IB, with the main window having a NavigationController, and a TabBarController which loads a TableViewController in its first tab.
The problem happens when i use the searchbarcontroller in the navigation controller, everything works fine with the exception that when the navigation bar at the top disappears, the table expands too high, and i can't figure out what im doing wrong.
Attached is an image of what im referring to, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Some more information:
i have my MainWindow with a UINavigationController, and a UITabBarController. On the first Tab, i have it loading another nib "AVN_TableController" which is a UITableViewController nib, with the Searchbar delegate.
If you've set your view sizes correctly in Interface Builder and are using the "Simulated Interface Elements" to cause the status bar, navigation bar, and tab bar to display, it should work correctly. If not, then what comes to mind is this issue where displaying an action sheet has it's tappable rectangle offset by the height of the tab bar because it is added to the wrong view. Not sure if that would apply here, but it's at least something to consider.
I ended up going the route of creating my own tabbarcontroller, as that was causing the issue.
