Show/Hide TabBarController in iphone

Question

hi, i am making an application in iphone in which i have 4 tabbars & in one of its tab i have 4 views in 2nd view it needs to hide the tab bar. I am able to hide the tab bar using the setHidesBottomBarWhenPushed:YES in in the initWithNib method of the Viewcontroller being pushed. But when navigating to the screen 3 , calling the same method with "NO" does not make the tab bar appear. any ideas?

Answer 1

Take a look at Apple's Elements projects. They hide and unhide the tab-bar when you view and individual element.

Answer 2

John Smith is correct. The URL for that sample is: http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/samplecode/TheElements/index.html

The code that does this is in AtomicElementViewController.m, and the line that achieves this effect is in the init method:

    self.hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = YES;
