need to display a view in window on load..no need to display tabbar item contents until click on tabbar button item..?

You can present a modal view controller which hides the tab bar at startup. I think that's the best you can do with tab bar rules.

I am using storyboard, navigation controller in iPhone application. Then navigate it to another view where I have used Tabbar controller. Then in Tabbar controller, I've 3 tabs and each of them have their separate navigation controllers.
Now, After completed process. But when I navigate to Root, it does back with its own navigation controller inside of Tabbar controller.
Actually, I want to come back on main Navigation Controller of an application where application starts.
Basic Flow :: Main Window -> Navigation Controller -> Tabbar Controller -> Navigation Controller -> Button..
So by clicking on Button -> Back to Main Window... Any Idea to back to main root view.
But I'm stuck with this issue for navigation controller that can't back me to the application root.
Can anyone solve this issue?
Please tell me ASAP.
Thanks in advance.
Not really the answer you're looking for, but FWIW:
You should avoid hiding tab bar controllers inside other controllers so that the tab bar controller appears and disappears. This isn't how they are meant to be used. They're supposed to be a main part of the UI and if I see a tab bar controller I expect it be there at the heart of the UI, controlling access to the main parts of the UI, and visible pretty much all of the time if not all of the time.
Don't take my word for it, listen to Apple:
Appearance and Behavior
A tab bar appears at the bottom edge of the
screen and should be accessible from every location in the app. A tab
bar displays icons and text in tabs, all of which are equal in width
and display a black background by default. When users select a tab,
the tab displays a lighter background (which is known as the selection
indicator image) and its icon receives a blue glow.
Don't be terribly surprised if your app gets bounced from the app store for ignoring the human interface guidelines!
It's resolve with ::
[self.parentViewController.navigationController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:YES];
Enjoy coding..!!
I have added an UITabBarController. My requirement is to display a view with tab bar controller. but that view is not part of the tab bar items. For example my tab bar contains 3 tabs
contacts
camera
history
Generally if we add tabbar controller contacts will be get selected and that view will be displayed automatically. but i don't want in that way...
i used [tabBarcontroller setSelectedViewController=nil];
i am able to get a tab bat with non of the tab get selected. but when i am trying to select a tab item it's not working.. I think i set the selectedViewController to nil. is there any other way to achieve my requirements...?
please explain your answer clearly.. i am new to iphone app development..
Present a view controller which is not a part of your tab bar controller and put a tab bar image/buttons at the bottom of it which resembles your tab bar. When you receive a button pressed message from within that view controller, show that tab on screen.
I have made a custom tab bar in my application ...On clicking the same tab bar button again the view adds ...Please tell me how to manage the view so that if a view is on window and if i presses the tab bar again the view shouldnt be added or loaded again.
Check whether viewcontroller is nil or not. if viewcontroller is nil then add new one else simpally popToRootViewController. You can find many tab bar implementation, Please refer below link

My application consists out of a tabbarcontroller and inside i got multiple navigationControllers. Now i want to hide the bottom bar of the tabbarcontroller from the start because the buttons on the bottom bar lead to features inside the application which are just not ready yet so i dont't want the user to see them. How do i do this?
Thanks in advance!
A couple of options:
Set hidesBottomBarWhenPushed=YES on one of the controllers in your navigation controller. I'm not sure if this works on the root view controller of a navigation controller.
Hide the tab bar items by changing UITabBarController.viewControllers. I'm not sure if it lets you have a tab bar with only one tab, but it ought to.
Set the tab bar controller's delegate (see UITabBarControllerDelegate). In – tabBarController:shouldSelectViewController:, return NO if it hasn't been implemented yet.
I have a navigation based app, in one of the screen I now want to add a tab bar. Can any one please share code snippet on how I can do that. Thanks
the common way is to add a navigation view to one within a tab view, not vice versa. as far as i know it is not possible to add a tab bar to a navigation view.
You could call a modal view that uses an underlying tab bar. Another idea is to use the tab bar for the whole app and hide the bar for the views where you don't want it to show up.
