Which view should i use to display large photos from a TabBar application

Question

Hi i have used Tab Bar Application with 4 tabs and i have set navigation controller from IB.

Now for my photo view, when user choose photo from list, it should display large photo. For larger photo, which view should i use?. If i will self.view and it will display both tab bar and navigation bar. If i will give tabbarcontroller..view then navigation controller is not displayed. I need navigation controller when user tap on image.

If you want the tab bar to disappear when the user taps on an image, you should probably base the interface on a subclassed UINavigationController and insert a tab bar (without controller) manually. You'll have to handle events from the tab bar in your UINavigationController subclass. When the user taps an image, you can simply set it in a UIImageView controlled by a separate UIViewController and push that controller on the nagigation controller's stack.

(There are tutorials on-line on how to combine a navigation and tab bar interface. You might find other ways of doing what you need).
