Pushing UITabBarController into UInavigationController - ios

Question

I have a UINavigationController as the root view controller of an app.
At some point I need to push a UITabController with specific tabs.
Up to this point it all works.
However in the tab view controllers I can't access the UINavigationController navBar (to change title, tint, etc).
Here is how I push it:
SCTabController *TabController = [[SCTabController alloc] init];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:TabController animated:YES];
SCTabController is a subclass of UITabController with the following viewDidLoadMethod:
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
UIViewController *view1 = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
UIViewController *view2 = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
UIViewController *view3 = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
UIViewController *view4 = [[UIViewController alloc] init];
NSMutableArray *tabViewControllers = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
[tabViewControllers addObject:view1];
[tabViewControllers addObject:view2];
[tabViewControllers addObject:view3];
[tabViewControllers addObject:view4];
[self setViewControllers:tabViewControllers];
//can't set this until after its added to the tab bar
bankHomeViewController.tabBarItem =
[[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Title1"
image:nil
tag:1];
view2.tabBarItem =
[[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Title2"
image:nil
tag:2];
view3.tabBarItem =
[[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Title3"
image:nil
tag:3];
view4.tabBarItem =
[[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTitle:#"Title4"
image:nil
tag:4];

Answer 1

In my project I have done so :

Answer 2

add UITabBarControllerDelegate
#interface SCTabController : UITabBarController<UITabBarControllerDelegate>
#end
then add below code in viewDidLoad in SCTabController.m
self.delegate = self;
implement UITabBarControllerDelegate didSelectViewController in SCTabController.m
-(void) tabBarController:(UITabBarController *)tabBarController didSelectViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController
{
//Write your code here
//NSLog(#"%lu", (unsigned long)self.selectedIndex);
UILabel *functionTitleLabel = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 190, 50)];
[functionTitleLabel setTextAlignment:NSTextAlignmentCenter];
switch (self.selectedIndex) {
case 0:
[functionTitleLabel setText:#"title1"];
break;
case 1:
[functionTitleLabel setText:#"title2"];
break;
case 2:
[functionTitleLabel setText:#"title3"];
break;
default:
[functionTitleLabel setText:#"title4"];
break;
}
self.navigationItem.titleView = functionTitleLabel;
}
