Custom Tab Bar with details view - ios

Question

I'm creating a custom tab bar based on this tutorial: https://github.com/codepath/ios_guides/wiki/Creating-a-Custom-Tab-Bar
Everything is fine but when I want to segue from a certain view controller to its "details view", the details view covers the bottom bar with menu. This behaviour is logical as I'm pushing a new view controller but how would I have to do it in order to keep the bottom bar always visible and functional?
I'm using segue for this because I need to pass some data. I need custom bar because the functionality and the look would be very difficult to implement using the Apple's one.
Any tips or suggestions?
Thanks
EDIT:
Here all "tab" are working well but when you tap on a row I navigate to "details" view
In the details view, bottom bar is not visible.

Answer 1

have you tried setting hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = false for the details view?

Answer 2

Solved it. Instead of calling
self.performSegueWithIdentifier("detailsViewSegue", sender: self)
in
tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath)
I add DetailsView view to the hierarchy like so:
let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)
let detailsView = storyboard.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("contactDetailsView")
addChildViewController(detailsView)
detailsView.view.frame = CGRectMake(self.view.frame.width, 0, self.view.frame.width, self.view.superview!.frame.height)
self.view.addSubview(detailsView.view)
UIView.animateWithDuration(0.25) {
detailsView.view.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.width, self.view.superview!.frame.height)
}
detailsView.didMoveToParentViewController(self)
then when user taps on the back arrow I do:
#IBAction func goBackButtonAction(sender: UIButton) {
self.willMoveToParentViewController(self)
UIView.animateWithDuration(0.25, animations: {
self.view.frame = CGRectMake(self.view.frame.width, 0, self.view.frame.width, self.view.frame.height)
}) { (completed) in
if completed {
self.view.removeFromSuperview()
self.removeFromParentViewController()
}
}
}
