Here is my code stub for my app-delegate.m -- it never gets called.
- (void)tabBarController:(UITabBarController *)tabBarController didSelectViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController {
NSLog(#"%s", __FUNCTION__);
}
It is defined in this app-delegate.h
#interface OrioleAppDelegate : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate, UITabBarControllerDelegate> {
UIWindow *window;
UITabBarController *tabBarController;
}
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIWindow *window;
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UITabBarController *tabBarController;
#end
Did you make a connection between your UITabBarController and your application delegate?
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application
{
...
tabBarController.delegate = self;
...
}
If your ViewController is a UITabBarController, you need to set self as it's delegate because you can't change the delegate of the UITabBar directly.
For example, in the ViewDidLoad of your UITabBarController :
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
self.delegate = self;
}
I added the following tabBarController.delegate = self; and all is well. I hope this is helpful to others.
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {
// Add the tab bar controller's current view as a subview of the window
tabBarController.delegate = self;
[window addSubview:tabBarController.view];
}

I have created a custom UITabBarController by using Martin's tutorial.
My subclass FSTabBarController switches between view controllers, and acts normal as far as I can see.
The issue is, when I change my tabBarContoller to my subclass, It won't respond to my delegate;
- (void)tabBarController:(UITabBarController *)tabBarController didSelectViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController
If I change it back to UITabBarController -when I use the default UITabBarController- the delegates works as it should.
The custom subclass uses the below function to represent tab selection:
- (void)_buttonClicked:(id)sender
{
self.selectedIndex = [sender tag];
[self _updateTabImage];
}
Edit:
AppDelegate.h
...
#interface AppDelegate : UIResponder <UIApplicationDelegate,UITabBarControllerDelegate>
#property (strong, nonatomic) UIWindow *window;
#property (strong, nonatomic) FSTabBarController *tabBarController;
AppDelegate.m
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
...
self.tabBarController = [[FSTabBarController alloc] init];
self.tabBarController.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:peopleViewController,viewController,profileViewController, nil];
self.tabBarController.delegate = self;
...
}
- (void)tabBarController:(UITabBarController *)tabBarController didSelectViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController
{
// not called when FSTabBarController, called when UITabBarController !!
}
OK, downloaded the sample from his site and tested.
Yes you need to manually call the deleage from the subclass:
this is how you should change the buttonClicked function:
- (void)_buttonClicked:(id)sender
{
self.selectedIndex = [sender tag];
if (self.delegate) {
[self.delegate tabBarController:self didSelectViewController:self.selectedViewController];
}
[self _updateTabImage];
}
I have a TabBar Controller in AppDelegate and then Navigation Controller on TabBar. But i get problem when i push Navigation Controller to other View Controller while remaining on first tabItem of TabBar.
My AppDelegate.h is:
#interface IlmStreamAppDelegate : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate,UINavigationControllerDelegate,UINavigationControllerDelegate>
{
UIWindow *window;
UITabBarController *rootViewController;
UINavigationController *_navController;
}
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIWindow *window;
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UITabBarController *rootViewController;
#property (nonatomic, retain) UINavigationController *navController;
#end
My AppDelegate.m is:
#import "IlmStreamAppDelegate.h"
#implementation IlmStreamAppDelegate
#synthesize window;
#synthesize rootViewController;
#synthesize navController;
#pragma mark -
#pragma mark Application lifecycle
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
// Override point for customization after application launch.
[rootViewController setTitle:#"Categories"];
_navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:rootViewController];
[window addSubview:_navController.view];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
#end
You can write write a custom XXTabBarController (plain subclass of UIViewController) that can be pushed onto a nav controller stack, but still have all the functionality of "view controller. Each "tab" has its own view controller.
EDIT: Working, see code below.
Working on an application, where right now I have the AppDelegate class, and a custom UINavigationController class. The code i have right now is pretty simple, and I feel like I've setup the XIB correctly. The build succeeds with no errors. But when the app launches, the navigationcontroller isnt displayed. I do not see the nav bar nor the table view. All I see is a blank screen. Here's the bulk of my code:

[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
#interface RootViewController : UITableViewController<UIImagePickerControllerDelegate> {

}
#property (nonatomic, retain) NSMutableArray *photos;
#property (nonatomic, retain) UIImagePickerController *picker;
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIBarButtonItem *addPhotoButton;
- (void) loadPhotos;
- (IBAction) addPhoto;
- (UIImage*)imageWithImage:(UIImage*)image scaledToSize:(CGSize)newSize;
#end
#import "RootViewController.h"
#implementation RootViewController
#synthesize photos, picker, addPhotoButton;
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
self.photos = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:50];
[self loadPhotos];
[super viewDidLoad];
}
Any ideas? Here's a screenshot of the XIB,
.
Let me know if you need more info.
Instead of a root View controller, make it a UINavigationController *navigationController.
then in the applicationDidFinishLaunching, say
navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc]init];
FirstViewController *firstView = [FirstViewController alloc]init];
[self pushViewController:firstView animated:NO];
firstView.title = #"TITLE";
[self addSubview:navigationController.view];
EDIT: some example code i have in an app of mine
AppDelegate.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface DragonAge2AppDelegate : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate> {
UIWindow *window;
UINavigationController *navigationController;
}
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIWindow *window;
#end
AppDelegate.m
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
TitleClass *titlePage = [[TitleClass alloc]init];
navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc]init];
titlePage.title = #"Dragon Age 2";
[navigationController pushViewController:titlePage animated:NO];
[titlePage release];
// Override point for customization after application launch.
[window addSubview:navigationController.view];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
You need to check some points:
Is the code in application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: executed when you run the application? Add a NSLog(#"app launched") in this code or set a breakpoint in it to check it. If it is not called, your FTPPhotosAppDelegate object is probably not set as the delegate of your UIApplication singleton in the XIB (this connection should be done by default if you created your app using a standard template, but it's worth checking)
Is the navigationController IBOutlet of your AppDelegate properly connected to your actual UINavigationController in the XIB? Check (using an NSLog or a breakpoint) that it is not nil.
Same for the view IBOutlet of the UINavigationController object in your XIB: check that it is properly connected and not nil.
A newbie Objective C question. Im trying to programmaticly change view from another view. But I only succeed in activating the tab button in the tabbarcontroller.
In my ViewDidLoad I have a condition that if thats not met, load the second view instead.
Is there any kind soul that can help out a Objective-C beginner? I have googled and search stackoverflow for the answer but with no luck.
FirstViewController.h
#interface FirstViewController : UIViewController {
some variables
}
some #properties
FirstViewController.m
#import "FirstViewController.h"
#implementation FirstViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
if(condition is met) {
[self.tabBarController setSelectedIndex:1];
}
}
In my AppDelegate.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface otpAppDelegate : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate, UITabBarControllerDelegate> {
UIWindow *window;
UITabBarController *tabBarController;
}
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIWindow *window;
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UITabBarController *tabBarController;
#end
AppDelegate.m
#implementation otpAppDelegate
#synthesize window;
#synthesize tabBarController;
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
[self.window addSubview:tabBarController.view];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
tabBarController = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];
[tabBarController setDelegate:self];
return YES;
}
Edit!
I found a solution to my problem.
int selectedindex = 1;
self.tabBarController.selectedIndex = selectedindex;
UIViewController *tempvc = [[self.tabBarController viewControllers] objectAtIndex:selectedindex];
[self.view removeFromSuperview];
[self.view addSubview:tempvc.view];
Did the trick.
Try setting the index for the tabBarController instance of the app delegate like yourAppDelegate.tabBarController
If you are using tabBarController as IBOutlet , there is no need to allocate it in your app delegate. Please remove these code from your appDelegate method (application: didFinishLaunchingWithOptions)..
tabBarController = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];
[tabBarController setDelegate:self];
I have a very strange behaviour of my navigation view. What I want is, that from my main view, the user can touch a button, which leads him to the view with the application settings.
Here is the code, responsible for the navigation:
AppDelegate.h
#interface AppDelegate : NSObject {
UIWindow *window;
ViewController *viewController; // My Main View Controller
UINavigationController *navigationController; }
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIWindow *window;
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet ViewController *viewController;
#property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UINavigationController *navigationController;
AppDelegate.m
#synthesize viewController;
#synthesize window;
#synthesize navigationController;
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
[window addSubview:viewController.view];
[window addSubview:navigationController.view];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
viewController.h
#import
#import "optionsViewController.h" // the 'settings' view controller
#class AppDelegate;
#interface ViewController : UIViewController {
AppDelegate *appDelegate;
viewController.m
- (IBAction)showOptionsViewController:(UIBarButtonItem *)sender {
// optionsController.theSubjectID = self.theSubjectID;
// [self presentModalViewController:self.optionsController animated:YES];
optionsViewController *optionsController= [[optionsViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"optionsViewController" bundle:nil];
optionsController.theSubjectID = self.theSubjectID;
[self.navigationController pushViewController:optionsController animated:YES];
[optionsController release];
}
My optionsController is a 'normal' UIViewController. As you see did I change the load of the optionsController from modal to navigation. Could it be, that I missed something here?
Thanks for any hints in advance.
Cheers, René
Have you connected it up in Interface Builder if not you need to alloc/init it before you add it as a subview?
