I have a tableViewController that once tapped on a cell it takes you to FirstViewControllerFirstViewController has a UITabBar with 4 items. I want to programmatically hook each of those buttons/items to viewController that already exist in my project.
I have done a lot of research but haven't arrived at something that address this problem
What I have so far is FirstViewController, SecondViewController, ThirdViewController, FourthViewController
in FirstViewController.xib I have the TabBar with 4 icons.
FirstViewController.h
@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITabBarController *tabBarController;
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITabBarItem *tabBar;
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITabBarItem *firstItem;
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITabBarItem *secondItem;
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITabBarItem *thirdItem;
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITabBarItem *fourthItem;
FirstViewController.m
- (void)viewDidLoad {
FirstViewController *first = [[FirstViewController alloc] init];
SecondViewController *second = [[SecondViewController alloc] init];
ThirdViewController *third = [[ThirdViewController alloc] init];
FourthViewController *fourth = [[FourthViewController alloc] init];
self.tabBarController.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObject: first, second, third, fourth, nil];
}
This code doesn't work when I tab on the fourth button for example it doesn't show the fourthViewController nib
Assuming each UIViewController subclass has an associated .xib (nib) then use the designated initialiser.
Instead of [[FirstViewController alloc] init] use initWithNibName:bundle: for each respective view controller instead.
example -
[[FirstViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"nameOfNibFile" bundle:nil];
