How to create an action for a UITabBarItem?

Question

I have created a UITabBar and UITabBarItems without UITabBarController on it, now i want to know how to place an action on click of the UITabBarItem.What is the method i should use for action on UITabBarItem?

Answer 1

You can't set an action on a UITabBarItem object directly. Instead, your view controller should implement the following UITabBarDelegate method:

- (void)tabBar:(UITabBar *)tabBar didSelectItem:(UITabBarItem *)item;

This method is called when the user selects a tab (i.e. UITabBarItem).
