UINavigationController, UITableView and not showing the next view

I am having a problem with a table and showing another view when the user touches a table cell. I am using a UITabBarController for the main view to show different views.

iPhone Navigation Problem

I have a tab bar app but the first tab is an image with a button on it. Touching the button is supposed to push a web view. The other tabs are plain web views. Those work fine but every time I push to a new view, it's blank (except for the back button at the top.) Questions: Do I need an xib for the pushed web view? Where does the ...

Why is data in my tab bar view not up to date ?

Hi, I have a tab bar controller with three tabs. Tab number two has a view containing two UILabel views. These are bound via InterfaceBuilder to IBOutlets in the view's controller.

Reusing a MFMailComposeViewController

I have an app that is built on the TabBar-based app in which I need to have one tab that is basically an email composer. So I'm trying to use a MFMailComposeViewController as one of the tabs.

The iPhone SDK documentation specifies that you may have a tab bar controller contain a navigation controller, but you can't have a navigation controller contain a tab bar controller. It seems that there are times when you might want to organize views with...

Tab Bar will no work as a subview of another view but works fine as a subview of window?

I am trying to make a program with three subviews after the title screen.

UITabBarController, MoreNavigationController and the Holy Grail of Device Rotation

iPhone Dev - Lazy loading a Tab Bar app

How can I make it so when a tab is selected, the current one is unloaded, and the next one is loaded so only one loaded at a time? Or should I not even do this?

Interface Builder: Failing to display TabBarController when calling from TableViewController

A buddy of mine asked for a quick sample of code for an app skeleton that would use a TableView to call a TabView. I estimated an hour. After more hours than I want to admit messing around in IB, I gave up and implemented the following code. Can anyone tell me how to do this in IB? I was careful (I thought) to make all the right conn...
