When I press a tab, the first time a view gets loaded, it takes some time. Any Idea on why that could happen?

Thank you very much!

It appears that you parse through the view that holds the buttons and look for subviews, and wire them up as the tabs.

It would be cool if you altered this slightly so that it only uses subview of type UIButton. That way I can include images and other views in my button container as needed. :)

Thanks!

It doesn't make sense to say to change this in your class since if you use this as a cocoapod, you're not going to want to change your class. I think "viewController1" should be configurable in another way. Perhaps by subclassing

Hello Mhaddl!
Hope you are doing good.

I have a view with your controller. It is not working same as UITabBarController. As Like UITabBarController We can hide this on some UIViewController while pushing or presenting it modally. How can we achieve this with your controller? Do you have any valuable suggestion?
Thanks-

Please do a new release (for pods) with the latest changes.

MHCustomTabBarController.h:
viewDidAppear --> viewWillAppear

Im trying to use this component in my project, but when I reach in my navigation this container, I get an app crash with this error:

Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSUnknownKeyException', reason: '[<UIStoryboardSegueTemplate 0x7fa2b346ebd0> setValue:forUndefinedKey:]: this class is not key value coding-compliant for the key containerView.'

It was working fine in the demo project, I copied from one storyboard to another and then I got the Crash...

What am I missing?

In your Readme, you state that iOS 5+ is required. But when I attempt to install the Pod, I get the following error:

[!] The platform of the target 'Pods' (iOS 5.0) is not compatible with 'MHCustomTabBarController (1.0.1)' which has a minimum requirement of iOS 6.0.

Any ideas?

If a UIViewController was already presented by the TabBar and is going to be represented again: dealloc gets called on this UIViewController before it's shown again.

I've created a topic on Stackoverflow because of this:http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19881692/dealloc-is-called-on-uiviewcontrollers-which-are-stored-in-a-nsmutabledictionary

Hi,
I'm using your custom tabbarcontroller,but there is a issue that I want this tabbarcontroller can have a property like hidesBottomBarWhenPushed in native.

Did you considered this ?

Hi, i found a bug i think. When i press a button and then i press another one the first one remain selected. In a tabbar only the last pressed should be selected. How can i fix this? Thanks.

Hello
For some reason I'm unable to set text to buttons in subclass (see my pull request #26, where I expose this property)

// does not work eg. in - (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated
- (void)viewDidLayoutSubviews
{
    UIButton *btn = self.buttons[0];
   [btn setTitle:@"TESTING" forState:UIControlStateSelected | UIControlStateNormal | UIControlStateHighlighted]; // does not work
    btn.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor]; // works
    btn.titleLabel.text = @"TEST"; // works, but flickering
}

I was using 1.2 version but recently when i run pod update, I am getting following issues in new repo

1. I am getting 5 errors like buttons are unknown class methods. previosuly you declared in .h class but now you are using it by interface methods. also I made changes in framework code.
   2)Crash on viewWillAppear , you changed the code ViewDidAppear to ViewWillApper

I can make changes in framework and get my code run but that should not be a good practise.

Can you please suggest a way ?

thanks in advance.

Hello, is it possible to have more than one MHCustomTabController in an app? I'm struggling with that but it's not working, something to do with the segue names convention maybe?

Hey, first off - great library!

I seem to be experiencing an issue when I load up on first run there's a noticeable gap at the top of my view.

If i switch to a different tab and then come back - it works as expected.
And if I change this code

• (void)viewDidLayoutSubviews {
  [super viewDidLayoutSubviews];
  if (self.childViewControllers.count < 1) {
  [self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"viewController1" sender:[_buttonView.subviews objectAtIndex:0]];
  }
  }

to this

• (void)viewDidLayoutSubviews {
  double delayInSeconds = 0.0;
  dispatch_time_t popTime = dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, (int64_t)(delayInSeconds * NSEC_PER_SEC));
  dispatch_after(popTime, dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^(void){
  [super viewDidLayoutSubviews];
  if (self.childViewControllers.count < 1) {
  [self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"viewController1" sender:[self.buttonView.subviews objectAtIndex:0]];
  }
  });
  }

It also works as expected.
The only issue is that I'm using CocoaPods and the only good way to make that change is to include a category on your class.

Any ideas about a cleaner workaround?

Thanks

Isn't your current didReceiveMemoryWarning redundant with what you do in your segue?
Shouldn't you rather clean the cache?

Hi Martin,

In your viewWillAppear, viewDidAppear, viewWillDisappear, viewDidDisappear methods. Why do you send the message to self.presentingViewController ?

Normally, they're sent to the child view http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#featuredarticles/ViewControllerPGforiPhoneOS/CreatingCustomContainerViewControllers/CreatingCustomContainerViewControllers.html

Alternatively, the methods can be empty since UIViewController automatically forward rotation and appearance methods (see shouldAutomaticallyForwardAppearanceMethods and shouldAutomaticallyForwardRotationMethods).

Cheers,
d.

How can I know which tabitem is selected? Thanks

Hello, I am having issue like i cant get the lastviewcontroller when i get back to the tab. It starts from the root . It doesnt work like tabbar. Can we get that functionality where we can double tap on tab and then get the rootviewcontroller inspite of just one click. I am using storyboard.

In a custom tab bar embed view controller i have a button. i want to show a another tab with its action. how can i do that?

Hi, @mhaddl
I like this lib because I always use navigationController as the initial viewcontroller in storyboard and TabBarController as the second, because that would save works for animating hiding tabBar. But this would be more convinient if we support selectedViewController and selectedIndex function as UITabBarController, wouldn't it?

Hi,
I´v used your code in my app and figured out that, if you call the segue for the first controller in the viewDidAppear, there are layout issues occuring with auto layout.

How to reproduce:

Use autolayout.
Build a view containing two View containers side by side. (Somehow a custom SplitView)
Now in the right one display the MHTabBarController be using a push segue + set the width of the left one to 0 (using a property representing the corresponding constraint.

What happens:

MHTabBarController calls the segue for it´s initial tab to late.
The left container, no longer being as wide as before, causes the right one to expand to full screen width.
Unfortunately the initial view controller (tab) does not resize properly (stays on initial wide of is parent container view), only after switching to the second tab and back to first one the layout is proper.

Proposed solution (working for me):

Do not call for the segue to the initial tab (viewController1) in viewDidAppear but instead move the code to viewWillAppear. This ensures autolayout is working properly for the inital tab when MHTabBarController gets opened.

Took me some time to figure it out... nasty auto layout ;-). Hope this helps.
