Installation

CocoaPods

Drag & Drop

Add the items from RDVTabBarController directory to your project. If you don't have ARC enabled, you will need to set a -fobjc-arc compiler flag on the .m source files.

Example Usage

Initialize RDVTabBarController:

UIViewController *firstViewController = [[RDVFirstViewController alloc] init];
UIViewController *firstNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc]
                                               initWithRootViewController:firstViewController];

UIViewController *secondViewController = [[RDVSecondViewController alloc] init];
UIViewController *secondNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc]
                                                initWithRootViewController:secondViewController];

UIViewController *thirdViewController = [[RDVThirdViewController alloc] init];
UIViewController *thirdNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc]
                                               initWithRootViewController:thirdViewController];

RDVTabBarController *tabBarController = [[RDVTabBarController alloc] init];
[tabBarController setViewControllers:@[firstNavigationController, secondNavigationController,
                                       thirdNavigationController]];
self.viewController = tabBarController;

Customize RDVTabBarController:

UIImage *finishedImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"tabbar_selected_background"];
UIImage *unfinishedImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"tabbar_normal_background"];
NSArray *tabBarItemImages = @[@"first", @"second", @"third"];

RDVTabBar *tabBar = [tabBarController tabBar];

[tabBar setFrame:CGRectMake(CGRectGetMinX(tabBar.frame), CGRectGetMinY(tabBar.frame), CGRectGetWidth(tabBar.frame), 63)];

NSInteger index = 0;
for (RDVTabBarItem *item in [[tabBarController tabBar] items]) {
    [item setBackgroundSelectedImage:finishedImage withUnselectedImage:unfinishedImage];
    UIImage *selectedimage = [UIImage imageNamed:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@_selected",
                                                  [tabBarItemImages objectAtIndex:index]]];
    UIImage *unselectedimage = [UIImage imageNamed:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@_normal",
                                                    [tabBarItemImages objectAtIndex:index]]];
    [item setFinishedSelectedImage:selectedimage withFinishedUnselectedImage:unselectedimage];

    index++;
}
