I have a UITabBarController setup with 2 UINavigationControllers.
One UINavigationController has One UIViewController, the other UINavigationController has Two UIViewControllers. If you then navigate to the second UIViewController and click the Tab that is already selected it bring you to the root of the UINavigationController (This would be the first UIViewController).
Is there a way to stop this from happening? I do not want the user to be able to click an already selected Tab to go to the root of the Navigation Controller.
Overview. Tab bar controllers are implemented by the UITabBarController class. They allow a user of to switch between multiple arbitrary view controllers by maintaining an array of UIViewControllers .
To add a tab, first drag a new View Controller object to the storybard. Next control-drag from the tab bar controller to new view controller and select view controllers under Relationship Segue . Your tab bar controller will update with a new tab.
To do this you need to implement a function in your app delegate to pick up the tabbar delegate calls.
In your app delegate.m file, in the didfinishlaunching method, add this line
[tabBarController setDelegate:self];
then implement this method (also in your app delegate):
- (BOOL)tabBarController:(UITabBarController *)theTabBarController shouldSelectViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController
{
return (theTabBarController.selectedViewController != viewController);
}
This gets called as part of the tab delegate protocol and will stop the selection of a tab if its already the selected one.
Hope that helps.
