How to hide parent tabbar when pushing controller

Question

I have an application with a tab bar controller and each view contains a navigation controller. My MainWindow looks as follows: alt text http://www.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?7bc867a594.png

Everything works fine as it is but I noticed a problem when pushing a details view to the navigation controller. In the didSelectRowAtIndexPath for a tableviewcontroller that belongs to the tab bar controller (the one called Latest in the image) I am doing this:

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
ArticleViewController *articleController = [[ArticleViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"ArticleView" bundle:nil];

[self.navigationController pushViewController:articleController animated:YES];

[articleController release];
articleController = nil;

}

The ArticleViewController has its own tabbar because it needs to display different things. The problem is that when I push the ArticleViewController into the navigationController I see both tabbars at the bottom of the view. Is there any way I can solve this problem?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

If you prefer storyboard configuration over coding there is a toggle for that. Just go destinationViewController > Attribute Inspector:

Answer 2

for swift 3,write the same code by you unhide the tabbar before pushviewController code like below

   var frame = self.tabBarController?.tabBar.frame
    frame?.origin.y = self.view.frame.size.height - (frame?.size.height)!+112
    UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.2, animations: {
        self.tabBarController?.tabBar.frame = frame!
    })
    self.navigationController?.pushViewController(viewController, animated: true)

or use just whant to unhide the tabbar u can use

  viewController.hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = false

Answer 3

A very simple solution:

 destinationViewController.hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = YES;

In your case:

 articleController.hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = YES;

Hope this helps!

Answer 4

After spending hours and posting a question here I found that the solution to this problem is adding the following line after the instantiation of ArticleController.

articleController.hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = YES;

Answer 5

You can simple hide parent tabbar through storyboard .

Select viewcontroller > Attribute Inspector > check Hide Bottom Bar on Push

Answer 6

enter image description here

Go to interface builder in Xcode -> open attribute inspector and check the item 'Hide Bottom bar on Push' for view controller you don't want to show tab bar. It will work!!
