UITabBarController with 6 real tabs associated with UIViewControllers - ios

So the case is that: I have five tabs. On each tab I have "detail button". When it's clicked from particular tab it's needed to be shown specific information. This detail tab is my six tab (but without tab button on the bottom) because it's called programically
I have UITabBarController with 6 tabs associated with UIViewControllers, but one of theme I want to call only programically (no item button). So how I can set this UIViewController to be without tab button in the tab bar ? I removed the title text and image but still is set on the bottom bar. Any ideas ?

Remove default slide right animation on UITabBarController from "More" Menu

I have a situation where I have enough tabs on a tab bar controller where the default system functionality has introduced the famous "..." more icon.
This is totally fine and I'm happy with the menu that is popped up when you tap it.
What I've noticed however is that a default transition occurs when selecting a item from the "more" menu (basically a slide right) to load the VC from the menu. Unfortunately this also introduces a lag on the accompanying slide "left" to get back to the menu.
My question is if this is default behaviour I have to live with or if this is something I can remove completely (ideally no transitions would be my preference).
Thanks,
Andrew
May this help you:
The More Navigation Controller
The tab bar has limited space for displaying your custom items. If you add six or more custom view controllers to a tab bar controller, the tab bar controller displays only the first four items plus the standard More item on the tab bar. Tapping the More item brings up a standard interface for selecting the remaining items.
Solution to your query:
Add only Five view controllers in your tabbar controller.
For last Fifth view controller, add more tabbar button icon (or any other image icon) manually and set a similar looking tableview (menu list).
Handle further navigation for remaining (Sixth onwards) view controllers, manually from tableview (row selection)
Storyboard Layout:
If you are looking for an alternate of more navigation, then you must customize tabbar controller and this may help you:
ZRScrollableTabBar: Scrollable tabbar items
IDScrollableTabBar: changing tabs with left and right swipe gestures on the tab bar.
JFATabBarController: Swipe tabs left and right
Ask me, if you want more clarification here.

I have UI View Controllers embedded in Tab Bar Controller. How can I change the lower tab bar icons to textfield on one view?

So this is how my story board looks like:
user has a tabbar with 3 icons on the bar and he can choose the tab that he wants to see. Then, from the 1st tab, he can press the button and he sees the TextDetails screen. Currently this screen 'inherits' the icons from the tab bar. Is there a possibility to change it so that there's only a UITextField there (instead of 3 icons)?

UITabBarController with 6 real tabs associated with UIViewControllers, but with 5 tab buttons and one tab called only programically

iPad show a view not inside Tabbar

I am developing an iPad application.
My application is a UITabBar based application with 5 tabs.
Now my requirement is to show a view controller outside these 5 tabs.
Explanation:
For example I have 5 tabs, A, B, C, D, E.
A is selected by default.
Now I have to show a new view controller say, F. But when I show that view none of the tabbar item should be selected.
What I have tried:
I created a UINavigationController as 6th tab. Now its not visible at the bottom and it nearly produces the effect I needed but have following two problems.
Tab bar items are not center aligned (Due to one hidden tab at right)
User can tab that hidden tab
Update:
Actually I am following an already developed application and I am sure its possible.
Scenario is I have 5 tabs that user can access without login. On navigation bar I have login button. When user is logged in I have a menu button in my navigation bar. Now tapping menu will show a view that doesn't belongs any of the tabs below. And that's why I need implementation explained above.
Work around I used to achieve above effect.
When I need to push my new UIViewController for which I want to deselect all of the UITabBarItem of my tabBarController, first I do the following things
Set selected index of tabBarController to last tab.
Set deselected image in last UITabBarItem
Get navigation controller of last tab and pop it to RootViewController.
Now push my new controller
Hide back navigation button in my view controller.
Hence I am able to show a Viewcontroller keeping user experience as current view is not in any of the tabs.
Thanx.
Sounds like a job for a modal view controller, i.e. one that's displayed in response to some user interaction other than selecting it via the tab bar.

how to load tab bar items dynamically in ios?

I have 2 tab bar items in popOver and there is plus button in popOver. When i click plus button i must remove currently displayed tab bar items and load other 3 tab bar items.
ex: tab1 and tab 2 are being displayed in popOver on launch.
user press '+'button from popOver toolbar,
tab 3 , tab4 and tab5 has to be displayed in same popOver.
Try creating both your UITabBar items and when the popOver conditon is met swap your tabbars out. Another idea would be to create another view with the second tabbar in it and just swap between UIViews.
