Why image shown in UITabBar, on selected item, not properly? - ios

I have an UITabBar and set 2 images for a tab(active item, deactive item). On deactive item tab icon shown properly as:
Image here
but when those item is active, icon not shown properly:
Image here
Can anyone help me to fix it? I was that it will colour just borders of the icon, not entirely

Check this screenshot: At right side of the screen see 'Rendered as' text and select drop down and use Original image. Your problem would be solved. Hope this helps..

You need to use UIImageRenderingMode for that.
UIImage *imgNormal=[UIImage imageNamed:#"normal.png"];
imgNormal=[imgNormal imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal];
UIImage *imgSelected=[UIImage imageNamed:#"active.png"];
imgSelected=[imgSelected imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal];
tabBarItem.image = imgNormal;
tabBarItem.selectedImage = imgSelected;
Hope it helps :).

change tab bar item image in swift programatically

I am working on an app in Xcode. I currently have three tabBarItems on my tab bar. I want the middle one to be a picture chosen by the user. I have the desired picture in a variable and i have the tabbar.swift set up to put the code in. I just need to set the image to the variables image with correct size (and make the picture appear as a circle) and the title name to a string.
Any help in doing this would be much appreciated. Thanks
Try this code.
self.tabBarController?.tabBar.items![0].image = UIImage(named: "your image name")
// items![0] index of your tab bar item.items![0] means tabbar first item
self.tabBarController?.tabBar.items![0].selectedImage = UIImage(named: "your image name")

You can place the image in the selected image attribute
And you can place the text in the bar item title attribute
Something like this
This can be done when you do to the navigation controller for that particular tab.. Like in your case navigation controller for item 1

I need to customise the UITabBar as shown in this image, for my project. Is it possible to do so? And if so, how can it be done? the selection field should have this "orange" shade
You can achieve this by doing :
yourTabBar.selectionIndicatorImage = [UIImage imageNamed:#"yourImage.png"];
Create the orange gradient as an image and use it in the code above.
Hope this helps.

Tab Bar Item - Selected/Unselected icon

In Xcode 6, you now have the ability to set the icon for a tab item for its selected and unselected states. Please see the descriptions in the images below:
and
The only problem is that the image for the SELECTED states does not show. It just shows blank. Anyone else have this issue? Please see the screenshots below of the results:
and
Thanks!!!
So the way to go around this:
Set the tab with the default, unselected icon image you want to use in the "BAR ITEM" section in the Attributes Inspector:
Click on the Identity Inspector, and under "USER DEFINED RUNTIME ATTRIBUTES," click the + to add a new value.
KEYPATH: selectedImage (IT HAS TO BE THIS!!!)
TYPE: Image
VALUE: The name of your selected/highlighted icon image. I use Images.xcassets for my image assets.
Run your app. You'll notice that the image changes to the selected (not just highlighted version of it.
Works like a charm.
I want to add some info about the colored tab icon.
To change tab selection color:
Select the tabItem.
Set "tintColor" attribute with your prefer color.

Tab Bar Item Image Does Not Show Up

I'm trying to assign a custom image to UITabBarItem in storyboard. Unfortunately, it shows me an box instead of an image.
Here's my PNG image
Storyboard:
How it appear in simulator:
As it turned out in order do display an actual image following code should be executed.
[self.activityItem setImage:[[UIImage imageNamed:#"activity.png"]
imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal]];
Note the Rendering Mode of UIImage. You can find more about it UITabBar Reference Thanks to # Vladislav Kovalyov
Go to Assets folder. Select your tab image. On the right side under Attributes you will find "Render As". Select "Original Image".
