How to hide uitabbarcontroller

Question

I have a problem with UITabBarController. In my application, I want to hide it but without using hidesBottomBarWhenPushed because I want to hide it not when I pushed it. For Example, I want to hide it when I press a Hide button in my application.

I read many articles in google but I cant find out how I can do this.

I am pasting this from my working code... you can call these methods to hide and show the tabbarcontroller.... just pass tabbarcontroller instance to these functions..

// Method call [self hideTabBar:self.tabBarController];    

---

// Method implementations - (void)hideTabBar:(UITabBarController *) tabbarcontroller {     [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];     [UIView setAnimationDuration:0.5];      for(UIView *view in tabbarcontroller.view.subviews)     {         if([view isKindOfClass:[UITabBar class]])         {             [view setFrame:CGRectMake(view.frame.origin.x, 480, view.frame.size.width, view.frame.size.height)];         }          else          {             [view setFrame:CGRectMake(view.frame.origin.x, view.frame.origin.y, view.frame.size.width, 480)];         }     }      [UIView commitAnimations];    }  - (void)showTabBar:(UITabBarController *) tabbarcontroller {            [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];     [UIView setAnimationDuration:0.5];     for(UIView *view in tabbarcontroller.view.subviews)     {         NSLog(@"%@", view);          if([view isKindOfClass:[UITabBar class]])         {             [view setFrame:CGRectMake(view.frame.origin.x, 431, view.frame.size.width, view.frame.size.height)];          }          else          {             [view setFrame:CGRectMake(view.frame.origin.x, view.frame.origin.y, view.frame.size.width, 431)];         }     }      [UIView commitAnimations];  }
