iPhone GUI like the build-in iPod application

Need a GUI with many tabs (TabBarController and UITabBar) and one fullscreen view, e.g. a view with player in the native iPod app. It's possible to show last from any tab. Currently use last iPhone SDK 3.0.

I tried many approaches, e.g. create Utility and put TabBarController on the flipside, but it throw an exception, because of there is no "plain" UIView on the NIB, except several in a TabBarController.

+1 A:

You would probably keep a pointer to the tab bar controller and a separate full-screen view controller in your app delegate. You'd have to manually implement switching out the tab controller's view and the full-screen controller's view.

How exactly should I swtich these views? I have an error "*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: '-[UIViewController _loadViewFromNibNamed:bundle:] loaded the "FlipsideView" nib but the view outlet was not set.'" while trying to load a UIView with Just TabBarController ;(

Make sure the File Owner in your XIB is set to the correct class (UIViewController or a subclass) and that its `view` outlet is connected to a view.

1.Created Utility app. 2.Added a TabBarController to the flipside and added a UIView for each TabBarItem. 3.When FliSideController's View outlet is not set then error: "loaded the 'FlipsideView' nib but the view outlet was not set." 4.If set the View outlet to first UIView then it's shown just that view without any tabs. ||| Please specify what UIView to connect with the oulet?

I'm having a hard time understanding what you are doing. It sounds like you want the flip side controller to BE a tab controller, rather than to _contain_ a tab bar controller. I would recommend creating the flip side controller in your main window XIB with all the tabs in place. Each of the tab's views can be loaded from separate XIBs.

Ok. My investigation is completed.

The best is to create TabBars application and show main independent view as modal using [self presentModalViewController:viewController animated:YES]; and [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];

Thanks for the answers.
