MHCustomTabBarController is a customizable UITabBarController replacement using Storyboard and segues. It's built with Apples Custom Container ViewController API and so requires iOS 6+.
- MHTabBarController (His initials are also M and H ;))
- CustomTabBarExample
Have a look at the demoporject and do the following steps.
Insert a UIViewController into your storyboard and set the class to "MHCustomTabBarController". Place a UIView (your "UITabBar") into the ViewController. Add UIButtons (your "UITabBarItems") to the view (the buttons must IN the UIView). Add a Container View above (or where you want) to the ViewController.
Hook up the outlets in MHCustomTabBarController with your created views in the storyboard.
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIView *container;
@property (nonatomic) IBOutletCollection(UIButton) NSArray *buttons;
Place your desired ViewControllers into the storyboard. Inherite it from MHChildViewController and connect them with a UIButton in the CustomTabBarController. Give the created segues identifiers matching this scheme:
- initial, first ViewController = "viewController1"
- second ViewController = "viewController2"
- ...
Set the style of the segues to "custom" and the class to "MHTabBarSegue".
There was added property "parent" to MHChildViewController to get MHCustomTabBarController. Now you can inherite your own view controller from MHCustomTabBarController, add some properties and able to get it in child view controllers. This needed to push data to child view controllers.
