uitabbar

I have subclassed UITabBar and overriden drawRect: method to make it transparent (and make it look like I need to). Problem I am having is that the view added to UITabBarController does not cover whole screen but ends 49 pixels above bottom, so even tho I have transparent tabbar, I can't see thing behind it. Is there proper way how I can set size of UIView inside UITabBarController to cover entire screen? P.S.:I know it is not good idea to show content behind tabbar. I do not want to show any content there, just art, that is specific to each View and needs to be visible through tabbar. If you

I have created a tabbar programmatically. Can we change color of title of the tabbar item? Default is white, and i m trying to make it black. something like tabbaritem.text.textcolor=[UIcolor Blackcolor]; Thanks In iOS5 you use the appearance proxy to change the title color: For a specific tabbar item: [[UITabBarItem appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys: [UIFont fontWithName:@"AmericanTypewriter" size:20.0f], UITextAttributeFont, [UIColor yellowColor], UITextAttributeTextColor, [UIColor redColor], UITextAttributeTextShadowColor, [NSValue

My buttons seem stretched, especially in landscape orientation. I can't find a property to adjust either on the UITabBar, UITabBarViewController, or on the UITabBarItem's themselves. (Of course, one answer would be to get an iPad...but that doesn't solve the need for a phone.) For example, consider this simple Tab Bar Example - if I only could set the tab bar to auto-shrink as more buttons are added, or manually adjust the width to fit them all on the tab bar, I would be happy. It is not possible to use the UITabbar with more than five visible buttons. You've got to write your own component.

Many apps have a standard tab bar with a custom button in the centre which performs some special function. Some examples can be found here: http://mobile-patterns.com/custom-tab-navigation What's the best way of implementing this? Here you can see how to implement that button. I am gonna paste the code so it stays here forever: UIButton* button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom]; button.frame = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, buttonImage.size.width, buttonImage.size.height); [button setBackgroundImage:buttonImage forState:UIControlStateNormal]; [button setBackgroundImage:highlightImage

when we touch the tabbaritem of the tabbarcontroller the delegate methods are called: -(BOOL)tabBarController:(UITabBarController *)tabBarController shouldSelectViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController; - (void)tabBarController:(UITabBarController *)tabBarController didSelectViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController; but when try to do the same thing programmatically, i.e. [self.tabbarController setSelectedIndex:selectedIndexNo]; or [self.tabBarController setSelectedViewController:[self.tabBarController.viewControllers objectAtIndex:0]]; the delegate methods are not called.

I would like to change a TabBar Item , when a User is logged in or not. For example: i have 5 different tabBar items, all created an Storyboard. Now i want to change the tarBar with index 2 (or tag == 2) when i user has no account. I would like to load a different rootViewController. The rootViewController is not already an item of my TabBar, i would load a totally different Controller. What is the best way to do this? I can simple change the icon with: self.tabBar.items![0].selectedImage = UIImage(named: "icon_cal_grey") But how to i change the rootViewController? Should i do it here?

How can I programmatically change the selected item in a UITabBar? Swift 3 and later As of Swift 3, you can also use tabBarController.selectedIndex = 0 // (or any other existing index) (Thank you, @nidomiro.) Swift 2.2 and earlier Try the following tabBar.selectedItem = tabBar.items![newIndex] as! UITabBarItem Assuming you have access to the UITabBarController that owns the UITabBar , you can do the following self.selectedViewController = self.viewControllers![newIndex] as! UIViewController The above line of code should be put somewhere inside of the UITabBarController subclass. But if you
