UITabBarController embedded in a NavigationController

Question

I know this question has been asked before and the solutions I've heard is to not use a UITabBarController but to add a UITabbar to a view and push its corresponding viewController to the navigation controller. However, when I use this method, I can see the tab bar, but I can't display the tabbaritems on the tabbar. It only shows a tabbar on the bottom. I tried to setup a tabbardelegate that handles the button response but obviously with no buttons that seemed pointless.

Any good advice?

Answer 1

They tell you not to do it because it doesn't work.

You can have a tabBar that looks like this: [Nav][Nav][Nav]

But you can't have:

Nav

[tabs]

Answer 2

Hi jbrennan,

Can you explain your answer? I don't know what it means, and I certainly don't understand how it refutes the question. Why doesn't it work? I see the implementation in real-world apps, so someone has figured it out or totally customized?!

-thanks!

Answer 3

Hi

Were you able to make it work? I was trying to do the same thing.
