How can I push tab bar controller after click a button from a view in Objective-C?

Question

I have a button in a view, I want to add tab bar controller after click the button. How can I do this?

Answer 1

This is for Swift Set your button action then use this one

    self.tabBarController?.selectedIndex = (your viewcontroller) index

Example:

    self.tabBarController?.selectedIndex = 3

Answer 2

-(IBAction)BtnPressed:(id)sender
{
    UIViewController *searchViewController = [[[SearchViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"SearchViewController" bundle:nil] autorelease];
searchViewController.title = @"Search";

UIViewController *exploreViewController = [[[SearchViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"ExploreViewController" bundle:nil] autorelease];
exploreViewController.title = @"Explore";

UIViewController *dialerViewController = [[[DialerViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"DialerViewController" bundle:nil] autorelease];
dialerViewController.title = @"Dialer";

self.tabBarController = [[[UITabBarController alloc]init]autorelease];

self.tabBarController.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:searchViewController, exploreViewController, dialerViewController, nil];

[self presentModalViewController:tabBarController animated:YES];
}

Don't forget to create the corresponding nib files(dialerViewController.xib, SearchViewController.xib, DialerViewController.xib) and make these views hight to 411px(this is unto you)

thanks

Answer 3

first of all, i don't think pushing a tab bar as a subview as a good idea

but if you still want to do this, there's a lot of way to work around

one of them is by using modalview

first you have to add this code after you make the button

[button addTarget:self action:@selector(buttonTapped:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

it attach an event listener to the button you have

next, you make the event function to do the tab bar pushing

-(void)buttonTapped: (UIButton *)sender
{
        YourTabBarClass *myTabBar = [[YourTabBarClass alloc]initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
        myTabBar.modalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyleCrossDissolve;

        [self presentModalViewController:myTabBar animated:YES];
}

and dont forget to import the tabbarcontroller class header file in your .m

#import "YourTabBarClass.h"

hope this help ;)

edit : if you need to go back from the tab bar view into the previous menu, you can add a button, give it an event listener, and put this code inside the function

[self resignFirstResponder];
    [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
