How to add a tab bar item to UITabBarController without a view controller?

If you really want to do this (it's pretty nonstandard UI...), then you could add an empty view controller, but in your tab bar delegate implement.

In my iPad app, I have a UITabBarController at the bottom with a bunch of view controllers associated to a bunch of tabs. I would like to have a tab that shows a pop over when the tab is touched. I know how to use the UIPopoverController, but I don't know how to add a tab to a UITabBarController without giving the tab bar controller a UIViewController.

Any suggestions on how to do this? Thanks. Here is the code that I have to show the pop over.

(Source) CGFloat tabBarHeight = self. TabBarController.tabBar.bounds.size. Height; CGRect rect = CGRectMake(0, 0, tabBarHeight, tabBarHeight); popoverController presentPopoverFromRect:rect inView:self.

If you really want to do this (it's pretty nonstandard UI...), then you could add an empty view controller, but in your tab bar delegate implement - (BOOL)tabBarController:(UITabBarController *)tabBarController shouldSelectViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController And return NO for that view controller (so it doesn't get selected) but instead show your popover.

I decided to use my own UITabBar. It works, but the more tab button will not be automatically created. – David Aug 26 '11 at 3:14.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
