hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = NO not working?

Question

I have a UITabBar in my app, which I\'m hiding on the first UIViewController in the first tab by putting this line in the AppDelegate

Answer 1

Not sure if a solution was found for this but I just managed to get this working.

My scenario:

I have a UITabBarController with 4 tab bar items. On one of the tab bar items it loads a UIViewController with buttons on it. The buttons calls a IBOutlet function that loads another UIViewController which contains the a tab bar at the bottom.

After many trial & error........

On the IBOutlet function, I do the following:

{
 self.hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = YES;
 /* Push the new controller with tab bar */
}

This was working fine with the UITabBarController's tab bar sliding to the left and my tab bar from the pushed controller sliding from the right.

Obviously from functionality perspective I need to push the initial UITabBarController's tar bar back in when "going back".

After many trial & error........

I have the method viewWillDisappear in the UIViewController that pushes the UIViewController with tab bar as:

- (void) viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated
{
    self.hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = NO;
}

I ran a few quick tests on this in the simulator and it seems to work fine.

Some contributors suggests that this is bad UI but I am trying this out at the moment to see how it works out.

Happy to receive (cop) any feedbacks. :)
