iOS 5: UITabBarItem setFinishedSelectedImage:withFinishedUnselectedImage: not working / ignored

Question

As per Apple docs

I\'m trying to set custom finished selected and unselected images on a UITabBarItem like so:

...
DetailViewController *vc1 = [[Det         


        

Answer 1

If your are trying to achieve displaying of the actual image at the UITabBar then use the following code.

[yourTabBarItem setImage:[[UIImage imageNamed:@"more.png"] imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal]];

and if you want to display image in original condition for the selected then use the following

[yourTabBarItem setSelectedImage:[[UIImage imageNamed:@"more.png"] imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal]];

these two are alternative to

setFinishedSelectedImage:  withFinishedUnselectedImage:
