i already did lot of search but no success yet. so please can you provide a simple sample of this. i already tried below discussion but i think its not a good approach.
Navigation Based Application with TabBar
Thanks
Actually this is the correct approach. The one thing that is not correct is where the controllers are allocated. This is happened in the previous controller, the one that is making the push, but should be allocated in the object that is responsible, the TabBarController.
When you implement your action to show the UITabBarController make the following code:
- (void) theAction {
SomeTabBarControllerSubClass *controller = [[SomeTabBarControllerSubClass alloc] init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:controller animated:YES];
[controller release];
}
Then when you implement the SomeTabBarControllerSubClass class:
(.h)
@interface SomeTabBarControllerSubClass : UITabBarController {
UIViewController *first;
UIViewController *second;
}
@end
(.m)
@implementation SomeTabBarControllerSubClass
- (void) viewDidLoad {
first = [[UIViewController alloc] init]; //Or initWithNib:
second = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
first.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor] //Just example
second.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor] //Just example
first.tabBarItem.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"someImage.png"];
self.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:first,second,nil];
}
- (void) dealloc {
[first dealloc];
[second dealloc];
[super dealloc];
}
@end
