After tabBar setHidden, the controller's view won't stretch full screen.

Question

In fact, the screen area where the tab bar was before, now is not accessible. If I add something on to that area, it just got cropped.

I tried setFrame to 320x480 but it won't help

please help

Answer 1

The best I can tell, and I have done considerable research, is that you cannot go full screen when you have a tabBar without playing a lot of tricks with the view hierarchy. Assuming the view hierarchy is dangerous because Apple may change it in a future revision. In my case I wrote my own tabBar replacement.
