How to get the height of the tabbar programmatically?

Question

I\'ve found out that the height of a UITabBar is 49px (or 50px, depending on the source).

Because I don\'t like to use too much hard-coded values in my code I was wonder

Answer 1

In Swift 3, you can retrieve the height of the UITabBar with this code below.

self.tabBarController!.tabBar.frame.size.height

Which will return a CGFloat value of the height

Answer 2

UITabBar is inherited from UIView as long as you mhave access to your UITabBar instance you can access and modify the frame of UITabBar,

CGRect myRect = myTabBar.frame;

Answer 3

If you want to get the standard height for the UITabBar control then you can do:

    UITabBarController *tabBarController = [UITabBarController new];
    CGFloat tabBarHeight = tabBarController.tabBar.frame.size.height;

Answer 4

prettier

CGRectGetHeight(self.tabBarController.tabBar.frame)

Answer 5

I don't totally understand your P.S., but you can do:

tabBarController?.tabBar.frame.size.height

Answer 6

If an object is based on UIView (which most visual elements in the library are), you can get the size from the ivar "frame".
