Hiding UITabBar when pushing a UIView

Question

I have a UITabBarController where the default view controller is a UINavigationController. I want to be able to hide the UITabBar of the UITabBarController when I push a certain view in the UINavigationController.

I've tried adding:

delegate.tabBarController.hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = YES; 

in my UINavigationController before I push the view, but that doesn't seem to do the trick.

Any tips on what I should be doing or if it's even possible? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

This is better:

viewController.hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = YES; [self.navigationController pushViewController:viewController animated:YES]; 

You have to set hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = YES on the controller you are going to push into the view...
