Add views to "more" tab item

Question

Is it possible to change appearence of "more" item in TabBarController? For example can I add custom views and change layout of tableView containing "more" controllers list?

Answer 2

Hi, Vladimir

You can do what you want to do...

by using UITableViewController as a moreview tabbaritem.

and can create a moreview some what similar to the standard moreView controller.

Answer 3

Just find it was already discussed in

So we can get instance of this "More" ViewController using:

UIViewController *moreViewController = tabBarController.moreNavigationController.topViewController;

In fact it is of undocumented class UIMoreListController declared as:

@interface UIMoreListController : UIViewController <UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource>

moreViewController.view property contain UITableView and we can use it, for example add tableHeaderView:

UITableView *moreTableView = (UITableView*)moreViewController.view;
moreTableView.tableHeaderView = myOwnCustomView;

But I am not sure is this code "applesafe"? Because it use private class although not explicitly. And what if I want to add a view that shouldn't scroll with table? Any ideas?
