Add a picture to UITabBar

Question

Hi,

I have view controllers added to my UITabBarController in the interface builder. How can I add a picture and change item title programmatically?

Hi,

you can add them at 'applicationDidFinishLaunching:' function in appDelegate.m file.

for example :

NSInteger index = 0;
while(index < 4){ // 4 is the number of tabbar items
 UINavigationController *navCtrlr = (UINavigationController*)[[tabBarController viewControllers] objectAtIndex:index];
 UITabBarItem *tabBar = (UITabBarItem *) navCtrlr.tabBarItem;
 if(index == 0){
        tabBar.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"home-item.png"];
        tabBar.title = @"home";
    }
 ...
 index ++;
}
