Is there a way to use a custom selected image for UITabBarItem?

Question

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

Answer 1

Just add some custom views (using insertSubview:atIndex:) when the UITabBarController-delegate-methods are called.

Example:

– (void)tabBarController:(UITabBarController *)tabBarController didSelectViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController {
    [tabBarController.tabBar insertSubview:someView atIndex:someIndex];
}

You can try changing someIndex yourself till you have the result you want.
