How do I add a tab bar controller to a navigation-controller-based application?

Question

I am beginning iPhone application developer, and so I'm not sure how to start the creation of a navigation-controller-based application which uses a tab bar controller in part of it. Do you have suggestions for where to start with this?

Answer 1

These links are a good place to start:

• Howto articles for iPhone development, Objective C
• Where can I find beginner iPhone tutorials?
• Best Book or Article to learn iphone development
• Getting started with Objective-C and the iPhone SDK

There's a lot out there, it's a little overwhelming at first. One way to get started is to pick a book and go through all the examples.

Answer 2

The Book "Beginning iPhone Development" is pretty good for GUI-Stuff. You could buy it.

But here's a online tutorial: http://21gingerman.wordpress.com/2009/04/06/tutorial-and-sample-code-for-iphone-app-with-tab-bar-and-nav-bar/

Short answer: You don't!

But you can add a UINavigationController to a UITabBar.
