How to hide UITabBar?

Question

In my app I have a tab bar. And in some views I as well have a toolbar. So when I come to those views with a toolbar it looks ugly - two bars at the bottom of the view. I thought that it would be a best solution to hide a tab bar when entering those particular views. But I just couldn't figure out how to do it in a right way. I tried to set UITabBarController's tabBar hidden property to YES, but it didn't work. And I as well tried to do the following thing in whatever view I am:

self.hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = YES; 

But it didn't work as well.

What is the right solution to this situation? I don't want to have 2 bars at any view.

Answer 1

You have to use set the hidesBottomBarWhenPushed property to YES on the controller that you are pushing and NOT to the UITabBarController.

otherController.hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = YES; [navigationController pushViewController: otherController animated: TRUE]; 

Or you can set the property when you first initialize the controller you want to push.

Answer 2

Interface builder has checkbox for view controller embedded in tab bar - Hides bottom bar on push. In easy cases no need to do it through code now.
