NATabBarController

NATabBarController is a fully customizable subclass of UITabBarController with additional features.

Features

• Full customizable look
• A popup menu replacement for the 'More Navigation Controller'
• Different tab bar height for portrait and landscape
• Uses the default UITabBarControllerDelegate
• Supported on iPhone and iPad with iOS 5 onwards
• Requires ARC

Installation

1. Add the NATabBarController folder to your Xcode project

2. Import the NATabBarController.h file

Usage

Usage is similar to that of a typical UITabBarController. NATabBarController will use the titles and images specified in the tabBarItem property of each view controller.

You can also specify a different height for the tab bar when in landscape mode.

    self.tabBarController = [[NATabBarController alloc] initWithViewControllers:viewControllers tabBarHeight:44];
    [self.tabBarController setTabBarLandscapeHeight:32];

Customization

To customize the look of the tab bar, access the tabBarView property of NATabBarController and use the following methods:

    - (void)setBackgroundImage:(UIImage *)image
    - (void)setSelectedTabBackgroundImage:(UIImage *)image
    - (void)setMoreTabImage:(UIImage *)image selectedImage:(UIImage *)selectedImage
