Problem with tab bar controller!

I'm fairly new to xcode (and programming for that matter) so please bear with me!
I'm creating a utilities app and would like to put tabs on the flipside view controller. a normal push segue to a tab bar controller from the flipside doesn't seem to do the job when I run it.
I'm not sure if I need to put a tab bar on the flipside view controller itself and connect it using coding? If so, how? Or is there another solution?
Thanks in advance!

I have an application based on the Tab Bar template as well, yet mine works. I also have views created via IB for each tab, but there are a series of connections which need to be made for the viewDidLoad method to be called. I made some notes along the way, perhaps they are helpful.
In these notes, what I did was create the Tab Bar project, but I didn't like the way the views were set up, so I created a series of new views, added them the way I preferred (all from files, all the same view, including the first view), and then deleted the two default views.
- Create a Tab Bar project.
- With XCode, create a new UIViewController for the new first view, save it, add it to the project.
- In IB, create a new view, save it, and add it to the project.
- In the new view's File's Owner, set the class to the new view controller.
- Connect the view outlet to the new view created.
- Go to the tab bar control in the MainWindow.xib and create a new view controller.
- Select the new tab button, and type in tab name and xib filename (without the extension).
- Compile and run. With a label in the new view, it is easy to see if it works.
Let me know if you find the problem.

Problem with tab bar and the method viewDidLoad

Hi,
I created a new project from the templates (tab bar application). then I created two views, for the two itens on the bar. The second view controller has a method viewDidLoad, but the method is loaded when the program launches. I tried the loadView method, but it´s never called.
How can i know when the view is loaded through a tab bar item?
thanks

Weird problem with tabs bar

So I just installed the new Safari 4 on my iMac after seeing it on my Dad's Macbook. How come his tab bar automatically show's up under the bookmarks bar and mine doesn't? He didn't change any settings or anything, that is just the way his looks after the install, but mine doesn't look like his. He has the address bar(with all the default buttons, etc . . .), bookmarks bar, then the Tabs bar right underneath. Mine just has the address bar and the Bookmarks bar, nothing else. How can I make it look like his?
This is on the official release, not the beta.

Go to Safari>View>Show Tabs bar.

Using multiple UIWebView objects with a Tab Bar Controller.

So, I'm pretty new to this cocoa touch language and seem to be hitting a road block.
I have an application that will use a Tab Bar Controller as a navigation. Each tab will display a different UIWebView object that's been linked to their own URL's. I can't for the life of me figure out how to get past the first UIWebView. If they're all the same object, with the same name, how can I set a different url for each??
I've been going nuts over this for the past few hours and can't find any documentation online so any help would be AMAZING. Thank you very much.

They're not the same object. You alloc and setup each UIWebView independently.
UIWebView is just a view so set it up the same way you would if you had a tabbar with multiple views.
The default template has 2 views as I recall. Change the UIViews to UIWebView. As you switch them in set the URL and have it load.

RSS Table View with Tab Bar Code Error

I created an iphone app with a navigation controller that has a table view which displays an rss feed. My client wants it able to display multiple rss feeds through a tab bar. I have attempted several times and have messed up. If anyone could help me with this it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Guy, and welcome to the Dev Forum!
I would recommend starting as follows:
1) Start a new project with the Tab Bar Application template;
2) Open MainWindow.xib and select Window->Document from the IB menu to make sure the xib window (the icon winow) is visible;
3) Locate the "View Mode" switch in the upper-left corner of the xib window and make sure it's in the Center position to display a 2-column table showing the view hierarchy as a tree of small icons to the left;
4) Expand the Tab Bar Controller branch, then delete (select and Edit->Delete) each of the two view controllers under the Tab Bar Controller. The only child of that controller should now be the Tab Bar;
5) Open the Library window (Tools->Library), drag a Navigation Controller into the xib window and drop it when it's on top of the Tab Bar Controller icon;
6) Repeat step 5 until you have as many nav controllers (one for each RSS feed) as you want (for this example, assume 4 RSS feeds);
7) The Tab Bar Controller should now have 5 children: the Tab Bar plus the 4 nav controllers; if not, drag the nav controllers until each of their icons is shown indented under the Tab Bar Controller just as the Tab Bar is;
8) Expand the first Navigation Controller branch, and expand it's Root View Controller; you should now see that root controller's Navigation Item;
9) Select the nav item, open the Attributes Inspector (Cmd-1), and change the Title to "RSS 1 Root";
10) Repeat 8-9 for the remaining 3 nav controller branches, so the root views will be labeled "RSS 2 Root", ... "RSS 4 Root" respectively;
11) Save the xib, return to Xcode, and click "Build and Go". The project should build and run without any warnings or errors. If not, return to step 1 and try to see where things went wrong.
Let us know if you need more help after you get the above skeleton app working. The next step will be to change the class of the "RSS 1 Root" controller to the class of the first table controller in your original project, and to add that controller's xib (you can delete FirstViewController.h/.m and SecondView.xib by selecting each in the Groups & Files tree of the Xcode project window and selecting Edit->Delete).
Please avoid the temptation to merge the above steps into your original project. In my experience, moving each of your files into the new skeleton, and testing at each buildable stage will reduce the chances for error while making it easier to spot any incompatibilities in your old code. The process shouldn't involve touching any of your XML parse or table display code, but you may need to override some additional table view controller methods such as viewWillAppear:
Btw, in case this hasn't been discussed yet, be aware you'll face a major decision soon: When tabbing to feed no. 2, what happens on the return to feed no. 1? If the user will return to the same detail view that was last displayed, you might need lots more memory and there will be lots more to go wrong. If the user will return to the home menu, the whole project will be much simpler. Estimate your effort accordingly.
Also be prepared for your client to say something like this during beta: "Oh... one or two of the links in feed no. 3 might be a mp3 or mp4 next month. That won't be a problem, will it?".
Hope that helps!

More than 5 tabs in tab bar controller

Hi,
I'm totally at a lost trying to get 6 tabs connected to my tab bar controller, which was created using the tab bar controller template. Everything thing works fine with 5 view controllers. When I add a 6th view controller I get the "More" tab in the 5th position, which when touched opens up a table view showing 2 more tabs for the user to choose from. Touching either row in this table view causes the app to crash. The error reads:

Any help or direction will not go unappreciated I've scoured the web and this forum for an answer I can understand. I did get bits of code and explanations regarding using:
    UIViewController *moreViewController = tabBarController.moreNavigationController.topViewController;
    UITableView *moreTableView = (UITableView*)moreViewController.view;
But, it's wasn't enough me to understand how to piece it all together.

Open Xcode, then click on 'Window', click on 'Organizer'.
Then click on the Documentation icon.
Seach for 'viewcontroller'.
Read and study the documentation for the various flavors of viewcontrollers.
Then try applying some of your newfound knowledge your code and see what happens.
I've found that trying a few ideas based on what I've read about is the best way to learn. Be prepared to make lots and lots of mistakes; You'll learn something from each one.
Above all, be patient. This technology can't be learned in a day or a week or even a month. It may take months before you have that 'aha!' moment. Once you do, it will start making sense.

Xcode4 Where is the Tab Bar Controller

Hello,
I am learning Xcode4 now and I am trying to build a Tab bar & Nav bar combined app. There is a great video tutorial about how to do it in Xcode 3.~, but when I try to do the same in Xcode4, I get stuck because I do not find the "Tab Bar Controller" allowing me to change the type of view controllers. Opening the same project in Xcode3 is working like a charm.
Does anyone has the same problem? Sorry, this might be a pretty dumb question, as I'm a newbe!!
The Xcode 3.xx tutorial
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBnPfAtswgw
The Tab Bar Controller in Xcode3
http://eremiya.net/share/xcode4-tabbarcontroller.png

I think I have found a solution.
Instead of going about as you would in Xcode 3 and in the video, you follow these steps:
Select the view controller that you wish to change to a navigation controller - This can be done by either selecting the view controller under the 'objects' section of the expanded dock on the left hand side, or selecting the tab bar button that relates to the view controller
In the Identity Inspector, change the 'Class' drop down menu (under the 'Custom Class' header) to 'UINavigationController'
That should work

Problem with Tabbing Order in LiveCycle

I have a two page form. The last field on the second page is an image field (the user can attach a graphic). The problem is it won't tab back to the first page after this field.

I, too, am having problems with tab order.
I have a two-page form created in LiveCycle Designer. There are 66 fields on the 1st page of the form, and 65 fields on page 2. When I use Window > Tab order to examine the tab order, all is as it should be (except for one thing, discussed later). However, when I go into the Preview PDF tab (or load the form in Acrobat X Pro), field 4 on page 1 tabs to field 42 (on page 1). Additionally, tabbing from field 41 on page 1 takes me to field 43 on page 2.
I can use Action Builder to ensure that the tab goes to the appropriate field, but that seems a rather kludgy way to go about it.
And that additional problem: I've got three text fields on page 1 that are of type Protected. According to the documentation, "The protected field is not included in the tabbing sequence and it does not generate events.", yet all three fields are in the tab order.
What (if anything) am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

Problem with tabbed panel

I have a problem with tabbed panel...this panel has 3 columns, I copied to each of them a diffrent text (diffrent height)...I expected to obtain diffrent working area of column, for example 1st column-height 7500 px, 2nd-1500 px, 3rd-2500 px, but I received one height 7500 px, each column has been formatted to this size....below a text I have “empty space”- (it is a diffrence between working area and text area)...I put the text to the 1st column for example 7200 px height, empty space below this text is 300 px I received 7500 px of working area in this column, here the problem doesn`t exist but….2nd column i have height of text for example 1300 px, below this text i have 6200 px empty space...It should be height 1300 px of text and maybe 200 px of empty space...so the working area could have at 1500 px not 7500 px of height....I try to change it (to for example 1500 px) but it still return to the basic 7500 px height and can`t do it...The solution is to use another form like. the accordion form..but it is a row form….when you put a diffrent sized text (height) you will receive diffrent size of working area (height), you obtain 7200px text +300 px empty space=7500 working area in 1st row.. 1200 px text + 300 px empty space=1500 workin area px in 2nd row and 2500 working area px in 3rd row…everything is fine in this form…each row has been formatted to the different size of height…but I prefer to use a tabbed panel (column form) instead a accordion form.…I don`t to waste the time to correct the code in html text editor like PSPad…

Loading a Tab Bar Controller

Hi,
I am trying to make an iPhone application where there will be a settings view that is made of a tab bar controller. I have declared the tabBarController, and linked it to the app delegate in the main window.xib file. However, when I try to switch to it by pressing my button that should start the IBAction to switch to it, the app terminates due to an uncaught exception. Here is my code:
-(void)switchToSettings {
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
[UIView setAnimationDuration:1.5];
[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIViewAnimationTransitionFlipFromRight forView:window cache:YES];
[[gameViewController view] removeFromSuperview];
[self.window addSubview:[settingsTabBarController view]];
[UIView commitAnimations];
gameViewController = nil;
Someone please help! Thanks in advance.

I think the implementation would depend on whether you wanted the custom action item to remain "selected", and if so, for how long? In other words, is the action item momentary or selectable? In either case, can we assume that tapping the action item leaves the current view visible? If not, what will the user see? Will the action item be visible from all the other views?
As you know, normally, when you click an item in a tab bar it is going to load a view right? \[emphasis added by friendly neighborhood helper\]

IPhone Dev: Tab Bar Controller with nested Navigation Controller

I want to have a tab bar with 2 views. The first view is a navigational one. I know the view can be loaded in from an external nib and I can set the first view to a navigation controller.
My question is: can this navigation controller in the external nib instead? Ideally I want to separate it out so the tab bar loads in the external nib (that has the navigation controller). Is this possible? or the only approach is to simply have to set the view controller to a navigation controller?

Hey, this writing an app that uses the Tab View Controller in conjunction with Navigation View Controllers is driving me bats. I took a sample program which worked well, added a nib file for a basic view that only had a label on it then:
* I created a view controller class to work with it.
* I added code to add create a navigation controller.
* Added my new view controller to the navigation controller
* added this nav controller to the array with the other stuff for the tab view controller.
* RUN
Everything seems to work as far as all the existing stuff. And the title for my new "tab" shows up on the More tab.
But when I click on it (in the simulator) the program crashes. It could be how I set up the nib file I made is wrong.
I posted the code on my web site. Here is the URL:
http://chomer.com/iphonesample_code/05a_-_Brightness_ToolbarSwatches.zip
Please have a look. Its probably something small and stupid that I missed.

Best reguards
Mis

alrighty then try this xml structure.
Note: formatting information like b, or linkage tags should
not be part of the xml.
The XML format is a universal format for data, if you fill it
with style information this is not good practive (in general, there
are of course scenarios where it makes sense, also since (x)html IS
also XML).
In your case you want to put the information about multiple
companies in a xml file, but you let the flash decide how to
display format this information.
so if you use the sugested XMl structure you will have full
control of the layout within flash, because you can grab every
piece of information from the xml and place it jsut where you want
in flash and format it within flash.
Of course this process is more coding work than your previous
attempt, but it pays of when you have a lot of data to process and
when you want to have full control of the final layout.
But maybe its overkill for your application (I don't know how
many companies will be stored in your xml and how complex the rest
of the app is).
