I was looking around but cannot find any info how to create a tab bar that will contain 2 controllers in the middle of the screen.
I write UI for my apps programatically BTW, i don't use storyboards.
Here is a sample from Vimeo, I want to do something similar.
Vimeo sample
As I see on sample - this tab bar is UISegmentedControl element (and it is not UITabBar what can be messing up with the terms). It has delegates methods what allow you to respond to its selection and on these events you can change or show-hide views or controllers included in your ui.

We're creating an application with a design concept similar to Snapchat. On the base level, we have three Views that are supposed to be horizontally swipeable, with the camera view being in the middle.
The Views are also supposed to be selectable via a Tab Bar. While the views are being swiped, the transition should also manipulate the color of the Tab Bar aswell as the size of some elements on the Tab Bar, similar to how Snapchat does it:
Our UI Designer made a mockup for our specific application in Adobe XD:
The button has been made independent from the Tab Bar, as it is supposed to do some interaction with the controller beneath, even if the Tab Bar disappears.
I've been trying to figure out how to best implement a navigation like this for about 10 hours now. I've come as far as trying to create my own AnimationController for animating between Tabs coupled with a custom InteractionController, but those have been unsafe and buggy at best, and I still haven't figured out how to animate the button at the same time as the views.
Has anyone tried to implement a design similar to this and succeeded? Could you lead me in the right direction of which methodology to use to achieve a design like this?
Thanks in advance everyone.
In the youtube app there's a possibility to collapse video into a small preview window with a playback and controls while you navigating in the different parts of the app. By tapping on the window you can always switch to full screen mode again.
I wonder: what't the best approach to implement similar functionality? For now I see few options but I'm not very well aware of the implications of these options.
Note: I have an iPhone tabbar based app.
Create a popover modal view controller, that is presented on top of current navigation stack in a current tab
Create a view and stick it to the bottom of the screen.
Create a view in bounds of a tabbar controller
Create a modal view controller embedded in tabbar controller.
Just from the list I suspect that using a specialized UIView (2) would be the worst possible way to do this. But I don't know about the rest. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I am developing an application that requires a scrolling UITabBarController. The customary 5 tab items max with the 5th being the More.. tab just won't do. I have found some pretty great third party classes such as https://github.com/Marxon13/M13InfiniteTabBar and they are great and have the functionality I would like but still, things aren't perfect. When I rotate my device to landscape things become glitchy.
Basically, I am fed up and want to create my own custom UITabBarController with scrolling..how would I go about doing this? I understand I would most likely put a UITabBar within UIScrollView but I am lost without a detailed tutorial of sorts..
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!
The way I would approach this is to avoid modifying the UITabBar, since it is highly specialized, and create a UIViewController subclass that will provide this functionality for you. This view controller should have a container view (take a look at this Apple documentation for more detailed information) that will have each child view controller's content view.
For the actual tab bar itself, you have a few options depending on what you similar you want it to the standard UITabBar.
You could have a super basic tab bar that consists of a UIScrollView with standard UIButtons that change/load the correct content view controller. Creating the tab bar would be then easy, simply add the buttons to the scroll view inside some type of loop (you could have the x positions be a multiple of the tab index to make positioning easier). UIButtons have support for a selected button state that you can use. You can change the scroll view's background.
You could have a fancy tab bar which is constructed essentially like the above, but by having a custom UIButton subclass instead of a standard UIButton. This will allow you to implement a more intricate design (i.e. with and more customized touch handling.
Tips:
Use [myImage imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysTemplate] to have your tab images tinted like the standard tabs when selected.
Design the basics of your custom view controller in your storyboard. It is really easy to add the child container view and the scroll view this way.
Hope this helps!
I'm doing iPhone tabbed application, but I need to use navigation bar also (just for app title and single icon for Settings in the corner) like twitter did: link. I have 4 tabs in my app too. I was wondering is there any chance to create only one navigation bar, so when I want to change it, I will change it only in one place?
I was looking at this tutorial, but there are two "Navigation Bar" objects. And I would like to have single object that will appear in every tab.
Right now I created tabbed app and manually added navigation bar item into first tab. Then I copied it into others. It works ofc, but I'm not sure about that solution:/
Your use of separate navigation controllers for each tab isn't a bad solution.
Setting up the navigation bar and its items in only one place is also a good idea. To achieve this, you could always have your view controllers derive from a custom view controller that overrides navigationItem.
I'm pretty new to Xcode and me and my buddy are working on a golf app we tought would be cool to use for ourselves. I've done a tab bar with 3 view controllers and one navigation bar controller with 2 view controllers. Now, first of all the bar on top is named navigation ITEM and not navigation BAR, so i can't change things like color and button type, all i can change is the title.
Does anyone know if you can just remove that bar completely or just customize it so it's just a picture i made instead? I dont really need it since you could just press one of the tabs in the tabbar to go back.
Sorry if things doesnt make sense, i'm a total noob. Also i tried search the web and all i could find was some youtube clip from xcode 1.2 and i tried it but it didn't work..
You could make your custom nav bar in photoshop or similar, add it as image view and add custom buttons on top of that.
