The title won't clear the actual problem. Let me explain clearly.
I have a tabbarcontoller in the viewcontroller which is the main view controller of the single view application project.
I added Navigationcontrollers to the tabbarcontroller. So that I can navigate(push/pop) from one viewcontroller to other.
I added a subview to the mainview of a single navigation controller.
When I click the button near to the tabbar, it doesn't get clicked and the tabbaritem button gets access and shows that tab.
The below image will explain well,
If I click the show button, it opens the receipts tab.
How to reduce the click access boundary of the tabbar in tabbarcontroller?
I can't get any solution regarding this.
Frankly, i've written a bunch of applications which have controls near the tab bar and i've never encountered such behaviour.
Check if you have custom tabbar controller with custom frame.
Also try to use Reveal App (http://revealapp.com/) to check the buttons' frame at runtime, it will help you to understand what's going on. They have trial version as i remember.
Hope it will help :)
Choose the custom button for this and add in tabbar.

I am trying to implement Navigation Drawer like menu on my iPhone project.
I have looked at the forums and find out there are many samples given in this link:
Stackoverflow Navigation drawer query
But, they have not helped me much. Because, all the apps are developed Navigation drawer in the Home screen(1st view) of the app itself and using window.rootViewController
My requirement is, I need Navigation Drawer like menu NOT in the home screen(1st view) of the app, rather need on the 2nd view of the app, hence I don't know how to add this feature.
Could someone please suggest me how to add navigation drawer like menu feature in later views(for ex: 2nd view) of the app?
I don't quite get how you want the menu. You can add Navigation Controller anywhere you want, all it's going to do is give you a Navigation Bar on which you can give a title and a Back button, usually with the name of the title of the previous page.
You can simply add the navigation where you want and control drag from the view or object you want to perform the segue. If it's a button you can use an IBAction with a performSegueWithIdentifier method.
Hope I could help
I'm new to iOS developing, I wanted to ask could someone help me how to make a page control(screen sliding) with navigation bar, I have tried a lot of things, I googled a lot but I couldn't find a solution.
I have a button when I click it will open a pagecontrol(rootview for screen sliding) with tableview which will change its data according to pages.
the problem is when I click that button I don't know how to get back to main page.
Can anyone help me?
This is a good tutorial for learning how to create a page controller.
As far as your other problem of getting back to the main page, if you add a bar button item to the root view controller's navigation bar, control-drag to your second view in your storyboard from that bar button item, a "Back" button will automatically appear in the upper left-hand corner of your second view controller.
Hope it helps!
I would like to know how I can add a back button to my UINavigationBar, I know that If I embed in a Navigation Controller in my main view, that all of this would happen automatically, but that is not what I am trying to do, in fact, the back button could go to any other view I connect the segue to, doesn't even have to be the back.
The back button needs to be the system navigation "back" button, I don't want to have to set image files for my buttons.
I tried dragging in a bar button item in storyboard but nothing shows up, doesn't seem to be doing the trick. The navigation bar was dragged to the view in storyboard (not created programmatically) and it shows up just fine.
I looked at the following similarly asked questions:
-> How do i add a 'back' button to a UINavigationBar manually?
-> How to add a button to UINavigationBar?
-> How to programmatically add a UINavigationBar and a back button on it
but they all point to just embedding the view in a navigation controller, which again, is not what I am trying to do.
If someone can please help me out, provide some sample code I would greatly appreciate it.
Try drag-drop a UIButton object. I have always added manual back button (hardly took the in-built one)
In my app I would like to have a way to make the user go to a website, but not leave my app.
I do that with a UIWebView.
I'd like to constantly have a "Back to app" button on the NavigationBar on the top.
The rest of the Web navigation (back, forward) should be on the top as well, but appear and disappear with the context.
The problem is that I don't know how to make the buttons appear on the UINavigationController.
How can this be done?
I have my UIWebViewDelegate set up to receive all the relevant functions, but the buttons don't appear.
EDIT: I need to solve this programmatically
As of iOS 5, there are leftBarButtonItems and rightBarButtonItems (note the plural) properties on UINavigationItem, so there's a way to have more buttons. It seems to me that these are only accessible programmatically, but not from Interface Builder.
If you can, my suggestion is to not just add the Web View as a subview, but to give it its own ViewController and push that on the Navigation Controller's stack. That'll give you your back button for free (that's kind of what UINavigationController was designed for, after all). And it should help you to keep the web browsing code separated form the other stuff in your app.
NB: in your case, you'll have set the leftItemsSupplementBackButton property of the Browser View Controller's navigationItem to YES to get the automatic back button (the details are in the documentation)
You can not have more than two buttons on the NavigationController's navbar without doing some tricks. There are two properties self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem and self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem. If not, add a custom view and place the buttons there. A good way to implement multiple buttons with multiple actions is shown here.
i am making one iOS tabbar application in that i have put 4 different tabs and whenever i click on 1 st tab and load another view after clicking of the first tab. After that when i press back button then tabbar is not displaying .So that i want hint that how can i show that
back the tabbar when we move from one tab from another and yes how i can use consistent the tabbar in whole application can you just guys help me on this i am new to iOS development.
here i am put the screen shot ...
here first screen is this one..
when i tap the video button that are first in the view then another window open
which are as under and see the tabbar is not there...
when in video controller there is tabbar is there but i drag and connect to that then tabbar is disabled
Looking at your screen snapshots, do I correctly assume you're attempting to transition to the "Videos" scene by touching the big "Videos" button in the center of the "Home" scene (rather than touching the tab bar button at the bottom of the screen, which I assume works fine)? If that's the case, you need to have your button tell the view controller's tab bar controller that you want to change the index of the tab bar, and it takes care of it for you. You cannot do the transition using a segue (or at least not without a custom segue, which is even more complicated than the procedure I outline below). If you're changing the view some other way (e.g. using a standard segue or using presentViewController, pushViewController programmatically, etc.), your tab bar can disappear on you.
You later said:
when in video controller there is tabbar is there but i drag and connect to that then tabbar is disabled
Yes, that's true. You cannot use a segue from one of your big buttons to one of the tabs in your tab bar. (Or technically, if you wanted to use a segue, it would be a custom segue which would do something very much like my below code, though perhaps a tad more complicated.) So, rather than using a segue for your big button, you need to write an IBAction (connected to the big Videos button on the Home scene), that tells the tab bar to change its selection:
- (IBAction)clickedVideosButton:(id)sender
{
[self.tabBarController setSelectedIndex:1];
}
A couple of comments:
My answer was predicated on the assumption that your tab bar works as expected when you tap on the buttons of the tab bar, itself. If you tap the buttons at the bottom of the screen, do you transition to your other views correctly and preserve the tab bar? If so, my answer above should solve your issues in getting the big buttons to work. If not, though, then the problem rests elsewhere and you need to show us your code that might account for that (either you're something non-standard in the UITabBarControllerDelegate methods, or your viewDidLoad of the view is doing something nonstandard).
If I understand your user interface design right, you have the tab bar at the bottom as well as the big buttons in the middle, which presumably do the same thing. That is, no offense, a curious user interface design (duplicative buttons, requiring extra tap on a button, etc.). You might want to choose to either use either big buttons (in which you can retire the tab bar, eliminate the IBAction code I've provided above, and just use a nice simple navigation controller and push segues, for example), or just use the tab bar (and lose the home screen, lose the big buttons, etc.).
You also made reference to "press back button", and I don't see any "back" button on any of your screen snapshots. Do I infer that you have a navigation controller and you're doing a pushViewController or push segue somewhere? If you're doing something with back buttons, you might need to clarify your question further.
