Only image as UITabBarItem

Question

I would only like to have an icon as the UITabBarItem and not the text underneath and I was wondering if this was possible, if so, how? TIA

Answer 1

if you just set the image and pass nil to title, the image will be displayed at the top level of the UITabBar item. You have to set the position also.

int offset = 7;
UIEdgeInsets imageInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(offset, 0, -offset, 0);

After you set icon image for TabBarItem, you set the property value to change the image position, doing:

uiViewController.tabBarItem.imageInsets = imageInset;
