My UITabBarController's didSelectViewController method is not getting called?

Question

Here is my code stub for my app-delegate.m -- it never gets called.

- (void)tabBarController:(UITabBarController *)tabBarController didSelectViewController:(         


        

Answer 1

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;
}

Answer 2

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];
}

Answer 3

Did you make a connection between your UITabBarController and your application delegate?

- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application
{
     ...
     tabBarController.delegate = self;
     ...
}
