I am making an application but I'm still a beginner and I'm trying to get used to the RootViewController and how it should be set.
At the beginning my application launches, I want there to be a View which is not in my tabBarController (which is set to be my rootViewController).
What I am trying to ask is, Can I have another view which is outside my UITabBarController launch first without it being in the tabBarController's items list?

I know you already selected an answer but all that's doing is pushing a UITabBar view on top of an existing view, not creating a new UITabBarController view. Based on our brief conversation (latest XCode, no StoryBoards, using XIBs) you're going to want to create a xib as a UITabBarController then push it into view...
View *view = [[View alloc] initWithNibName:#"myUITabBarXIB" bundle:nil];
view.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal;
[self presentModalViewController: view animated:YES];
This will present your XIB file but not on top of the existing view controller when the desired action takes place.
yes! ofcourse you do.
[self.view addsubview:yourTabbar.view];
Hope this will help you.

I am unable to get the navigation bar to show the title that I specify. I have tried to change the title in the AppDelegate.m, as well as in the viewDidLoad of my first tab view. I suspect the title is being hidden, but I am unable fix it. Please provide any insight you may have.

The relationship of your view controllers isn't right.
The root view controller of your app should be the TabBarController.
Each of the items should have it's own Navigation Controller.
The title of each ViewController can be set in viewDidLoad() with self.title = "....
I've been able to set titles in the delegate as follows:
1.) Create view controllers
2.) Set those titles
3.) Then create UINavigationControllers and assign view controllers there
self.firstViewController = [[FirstViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
self.secondViewController = [[SecondViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
self.thirdViewController = [[ThirdViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
self.fourthViewController = [[FourthViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
[self.firstViewController setTitle:#"First"];
[self.secondViewController setTitle:#"Second"];
[self.thirdViewController setTitle:#"Third"];
[self.fourthViewController setTitle:#"Fourth"];
UINavigationController *controller1 = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:self.firstViewController];
UINavigationController *controller2 = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:self.secondViewController];
UINavigationController *controller3 = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:self.thirdViewController];
UINavigationController *controller4 = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:self.fourthViewController];
NSArray *viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:controller1, controller2, controller3, controller4, nil];
TabBar should not be enable any of tabs untill user clicked on any one of tab,
Below is the code I write to display tab bar, But the problem by defaultly it is showing the first tab.
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
// Override point for customization after application launch.
self.window.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
PeopleViewController *peopleViewController = [[PeopleViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *nav1 = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:peopleViewController];
[peopleViewController setTitle:#"People"];
EventsViewController *eventsViewController = [[EventsViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *nav2 = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:eventsViewController];
[eventsViewController setTitle:#"Events"];
ActiveViewController *activeViewController = [[ActiveViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *nav3 = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:activeViewController];
[activeViewController setTitle:#"Active"];
MoreViewController *moreViewController = [[MoreViewController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *nav4 = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:moreViewController];
[moreViewController setTitle:#"More"];
NSArray *arrViewControllers = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:nav1,nav2,nav3,nav4, nil];
[tabBarController setViewControllers:arrViewControllers];
[self.window addSubview:tabBarController.view];
return YES;
}
Create an IBOutlet for the tab bar (e.g. theTabBar) and use following code:
[theTabBar setSelectedItem:nil];
This is default behavior of UITabBarController, by default first tab is selected.
You have the option to make some other tab to be selected at first instance, but cannot change the default selected to null.
[tabBarController setSelectedIndex:0];
By default selected index is 0, this is first tab, you can change it as per your requirement to 1,2,3.
I'm having an LoginViewController which is the RootViewController. This ViewController should not have the TabBar included. The Rest of the ViewController should contain the UITabBar, But it is not showing. If i make the tabBar the rootController it will show the tabBar in the viewcontrollers. This would also make the firsttab the rootviewcontroller which it should not.
My question is then how can i make the loginview the rootViewController without an tabBar and still show the tabBar in the other viewcontrollers?
My code:
tabBarController = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];
MenuViewController *firstTab = [[MenuViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"MenuViewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:firstTab];
FixtureViewController *secondTab = [[FixtureViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"FixtureViewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *navController2 = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:secondTab];
WorldCupViewController *thirdTab = [[WorldCupViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"WorldCupViewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *navController3 = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:thirdTab];
LoginViewController *loginView = [[LoginViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"LoginViewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *navController4 = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:loginView];
self.tabBarController = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];
self.tabBarController.viewControllers = #[navController, navController2, navController3];
navController.tabBarItem.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"message-7"];
navController2.tabBarItem.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"football-32"];
navController3.tabBarItem.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"trophy-32"];
[[UITabBar appearance] setTintColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:110/255.0f green:89/255.0f blue:196/255.0f alpha:1.0f]];
[self.window setRootViewController:navController4];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
What you need to do is transition the application from the LoginViewController to the Tabbar. What I would suggest doing is replacing the LoginViewController with the TabBar as the rootViewController.
Here is some sample code, perform this action in your AppDelegate
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
LoginViewController *loginView = [[LoginViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"LoginViewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *navController4 = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:loginView];
[self.window setRootViewController:navController4];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
-(void)transitionToTabBar
{
// Set the TabBar how you are in your sample code, this is just an example.
[self.window setRootViewController:[[UITabBarController alloc] initWithNibName:#"SomeNib" bundle:Nil]];
[UIView transitionWithView:self.window duration:0.5f options:UIViewAnimationOptionTransitionCurlDown animations:^{
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
} completion:nil];
}
You should use main View controller (for MenuViewController) and by using segue you can present another view controller which has TabBar in it.
I want to Push my viewController on PresentViewController
When i click on button initially i am loading PresentViewController, here is my code.
- (IBAction)JoinClicked:(id)sender{
JoinWithViewController *detail_view_controller = [[JoinWithViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"JoinWithViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.view.window.rootViewController presentViewController:detail_view_controller
animated:YES
completion:NULL];
}
this works fine, but when i click on button which is there on PresentViewController on click i want to Push my view, but in does not pushes.
Please help, Thanks in advance.
JoinWithViewController *detail_view_controller = [[JoinWithViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"JoinWithViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:detail_view_controller animated:YES];
Try like this to push viewController. If you use TabBar do like this in AppDelegate. If you create TabBar Drag and drop means leave that. Create TabBar Programatically like below.
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
// Override point for customization after application launch.
UITabBarController *tabController = [[UITabBarController alloc]init];
self.viewController = [[CalculatorViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"CalculatorViewController" bundle:nil];
UITabBarItem *tab_item1 = [[UITabBarItem alloc]init];
//tab_item1.title = #"Calculator";
tab_item1.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"Calculator.png"];
[self.viewController setTabBarItem:tab_item1];
UINavigationController *nav1 = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:self.viewController];
ShowPhoneViewController *phone = [[ShowPhoneViewController alloc]init];
UITabBarItem *tab_item2 = [[UITabBarItem alloc]init];
tab_item2.title = #"Latest Mobiles";
tab_item2.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"Mobile.png"];
[phone setTabBarItem:tab_item2];
UINavigationController *nav2 = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:phone];
CurrencyConvertorViewController *currency = [[CurrencyConvertorViewController alloc]init];
UITabBarItem *tab_item3 = [[UITabBarItem alloc]init];
tab_item3.title = #"Units Convertor";
tab_item3.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"Dollar.png"];
[currency setTabBarItem:tab_item3];
UINavigationController *nav3 = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:currency];
SettingsPageViewController *setting = [[SettingsPageViewController alloc]init];
UITabBarItem *tab_item4 = [[UITabBarItem alloc]init];
tab_item4.title = #"Settings";
tab_item4.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"Settings.png"];
[setting setTabBarItem:tab_item4];
UINavigationController *nav4 = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:setting];
tabController.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:nav1, nav2, nav3, nav4, nil];
self.window.rootViewController = tabController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
I hope you got now
pushviewcontroller is the feature of UINavigationController where you can push one viewcontroller on another vierw controller. Here you are using a single viewcontroller as a rootviewcontroller so either you must change your rootviewcontroller to UINavigationcontroller or you can use "addSubview method" to add new viewController on the current viewcontroller.
but the better option is to add uinavigationcontroller as a rootviewcontroller.
AppDelegate.m
-(BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
FirstViewController *first = [[FirstViewController alloc]
initWithNibName:#"FirstViewController" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *navController =[[UINavigationController alloc]
initWithRootViewController:first];
[self.window setRootViewController:navController];
}
Now when as you want to switch from FirstViewController to SecondViewController on button clicked than you have to use pushviewcontroller
FirstViewController.h
-(void) nextBtnPressed {
SecondViewController *second = [[SecondViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"SecondViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:second animated:TRUE];
}
How to insert UINavigationController inside UITabBarController.
Currently I have main UITabBarController with declatarion inside application delegate like this (so tab is main)
self.window.rootViewController = self.tabBarController;
And inside one of tabs I want to insert UINavigationController, and can't get it.
The code is contructed like this:
MainWindow.xib with UITabBarController object with tab typed as UINavigationController (point to NavigationHistory.xib) - screenshot: invalid link
NavigationHistory.xib contains only UINavigationController where view point to History.xib
History.xib have only UITableView element - screenshot: invalid link
And now UIViewController doesn't display my View1 view, and I have no clue why it may be. Maybe you have any clue? or point me to the place where such configuration is done.
I'll answer myself. It's good explained at

Add your controller object to UINavigationController, and add that navigationcontroller object to UITabBarController
UINavigationController is a subclass of UIViewController, a UITabBarController expects an array of UIViewControllers (and therefore UINavigationController ); this tells me me that I can give a UITabBarController an array of UINavigationControllers (or sublasses thereof) giving the desired interaction.
