uitabbaritem

I am adding UITabBarController to the window, and setting the viewControllers property of the UITabBarController to the array of ViewControllers. If i am setting the badge value inside the viewController then its working fine. self.tabBarItem.badgeValue = @"3"; But if i am setting the viewControllers property of the UITabBarController to the array of navigation controllers which is having view controller as the rootviewcontroller, then its not setting the badge value.

I know this question has been asked earlier as well, but still i didn't get any solution searching the solution on internet. I referred the following posts: How can I change the text and icon colors for tabBarItems in iOS 7? Only able to change the selected icons color using tintColor .

I like to have a custom selected image when a user selects an item on the tab bar, by default it selects as blue like but would like to have a green color instead. something like below any thoughts? Just found my solution. Basically, I subclassed UITabItem and set this in the navigation controller: -(void) viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated { [super viewDidAppear:animated]; CustomTabBarItem *tabItem = [[CustomTabBarItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Events" image:[UIImage imageNamed:@"tabIcon.png"] tag:0]; tabItem.customHighlightedImage=[UIImage imageNamed:@"tabIconSelected.png"]; self.tabBarItem = tabItem

Simple question, how can I remove the tab bar item text and show only the image?

Due to this, I am facing 2 issues: 1) The image is white-colored, but when I run the application, its showing all the images on tab bar item as gray colored. How can I make it look same as is in the original image. 2) I have a selected image, that I want to add on the tab bar item which is currently selected. How should I do this??? UPDATED AFTER NICK's CODE: Hey, in iOS 5, you will have to write following code

I wanna use a thick line at the bottom of a UITabbarItems as a selection indicator. Due to the fact that the App must work on different phone sizes, I cannot use a image as selection indicator. That's why I think I have to use Swift to do this. (The line has to be 1/3 of page width). I tried to use UITabBarItem.appearance() but without success. You can do it with add custom image, that will be created in your code, to selectionIndicatorImage on your UITabBar object.
