Create uiTabBarController programmatically

Question

I want to create a UIView for a UITabBarController

Here is my code for the .h file :

@interface TE : UIViewContro         


        

Answer 1

1. Subclass UITabBarController

2. Override the - (void) loadView method and include the following code

   MyCustomViewControllerOne* ctrl1 = [[[MyCustomViewControllerOne alloc] initWithNibName@"MyViewControllerOne" bundle: nil] autorelease];
   UIViewController* ctrl2 = [[[UIViewController alloc] init] autorelease];
   MyCustomControllerTwo* ctrl3 = [[[UIViewController alloc] initWithObject: myObj] autorelease];
   
   ctrl1.title = @"First tab";
   ctrl2.title = @"Second tab";
   ctrl3.title = @"Third tab";
   
   ctrl1.tabBarItem.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"tab_image1.png"];
   ctrl2.tabBarItem.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"tab_image2.png"];
   ctrl3.tabBarItem.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"tab_image3.png"];
   
   [self setViewControllers: @[ctrl1, ctrl2, ctrl3]];
   

That's pretty much it.
