uitabbaritem

I am trying to change the default grey colour of the unselected UITabBarItems. I have managed to change the text but not the image. TabBar.appearance().barTintColor = UIColor(red: 86.0/255.0, green: 132.0/255.0, blue: 208.0/255.0, alpha: 1.0) var normalTint: UIColor = UIColor.whiteColor() TabBar.appearance().tintColor = UIColor.whiteColor() UITabBarItem.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes([NSForegroundColorAttributeName: normalTint,NSFontAttributeName: UIFont(name: "Arial", size: 13)!], forState: UIControlState.Normal) you can use .AlwaysOriginal tabBarItem.selectedImage = UIImage(named:

when we touch the tabbaritem of the tabbarcontroller the delegate methods are called: -(BOOL)tabBarController:(UITabBarController *)tabBarController shouldSelectViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController; - (void)tabBarController:(UITabBarController *)tabBarController didSelectViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController; but when try to do the same thing programmatically, i.e. [self.tabbarController setSelectedIndex:selectedIndexNo]; or [self.tabBarController setSelectedViewController:[self.tabBarController.viewControllers objectAtIndex:0]]; the delegate methods are not called.

I have a Tab Bar Controller with four navigation controllers added to it. The navigation controllers appear as Tab Bar Items in the Tab Bar Controller. Now I want to add a fifth button to the tab bar, that does not open another view, but triggers some custom code. I want to display an overlaying "share menu" when clicking that Tab Bar Item regardless on which of the four pages the user is. How can I do that? I can suggest to add dummy UIViewController to the last index and handle UITabBarControllerDelegate - (BOOL)tabBarController:(UITabBarController *)tabBarController

On searching the web on how to adjust the position of a UITabBarItem title position i ran over this similar post and still wondering how to do that. Is it even possible to adjust the title position a bit from the bottom up? (for example 5px) I need this because i have custom images and now the position of the title is not perfect. Why don't you just have an empty title property for your view controller and add the title to your custom images for the tab? You can do this (in iOS 5.0): UIImage* iconSelected = [UIImage imageNamed:@"tabIconSelected.png"]; UIImage* iconNotSelected = [UIImage

I have a TabBar. I am trying to style it so that the titles on the TabBarItems have different fonts for the normal state and the selected state. For normal state I want Helvetica Neue Light and for the selected state I want Helvetica Neue Medium. No matter what I do, I can't seem to get the fonts to be different for these two states. The color changing works fine. Here is what I currently have: // Set the tab bar title appearance for normal state. [[UITabBarItem appearance] setTitleTextAttributes:@{ NSFontAttributeName: [UIFont fontWithName:@"HelveticaNeue-Light" size:16],

This application I'm writing has a problem. I'm setting up the UITabBar in my application window and set the icons in the view files. But when i run the app, the first icons show up (because the view is loaded I guess) and the other icons do not show up until I click them. Do i need to implement self.tabBarItem in some other method not viewDidLoad ? Thanks in advance to everyone! - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions { tabBar = [[UITabBarController alloc] init]; SubscriptionsController *subscriptionsController = [

I am trying to custom my UITabBarController .
