Switching to a TabBar tab view programmatically?

Question

Let\'s say I have a UIButton in one tab view in my iPhone app, and I want to have it open a different tab in the tab bar of the TabBarController.

Answer 1

My opinion is that selectedIndex or using objectAtIndex is not necessarily the best way to switch the tab. If you reorder your tabs, a hard coded index selection might mess with your former app behavior.

If you have the object reference of the view controller you want to switch to, you can do:

tabBarController.selectedViewController = myViewController

Of course you must make sure, that myViewController really is in the list of tabBarController.viewControllers.
