tabBarController is nil; can't change selectedIndex on viewDidLoad

Question

I have a UITabBarController like this:

/*SomeTabBarController.h*/
@interface SomeTabBarController: UITabBarController
@end

and in the SomeTabBarController.m i want to change the active tab on viewDidLoad

-(void)viewDidLoad
{
  [super viewDidLoad];
  self.tabBarController.selectedIndex = 2;
}

However, tabBarController is nil. What am i missing? I have a navigation controller and segue push to the tab bar controller...

Thx

Answer 1

Try this:

self.selectedIndex = 1;

You are the tabBarController :)
