UITabBarItem *item0 = [tabBar.items objectAtIndex:0];

[item0 setFinishedSelectedImage:selectedImage0 withFinishedUnselectedImage:unselectedImage0];

Answer 3

Use below code in AppDelegate

(BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary  *)launchOptions
{


UIViewController *viewController1 = [[ViewFirstViewController alloc] init];

UIViewController *viewController2 = [[ViewSecondViewController alloc] init];
UIViewController *viewController3 = [[ViewThirdViewController alloc] init];
UIViewController *viewController4 = [[ViewFourthViewController alloc] init];

self.tabBarController = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];
self.tabBarController.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:viewController1, viewController2,viewController3,viewController4, nil];
self.window.rootViewController = self.tabBarController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];


imgTab = [[UIImageView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,320.0,50)];
self.tabBarController.tabBar.tag=10;
[self.tabBarController.tabBar addSubview:imgTab];
self.tabBarController.delegate = self;

imghome=[[UIImageView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.0,00.0,80.0,50.0)];
imghome.image=[UIImage imageNamed:@"dressup_active.png"];
[imgTab addSubview:imghome];

imgQuiz=[[UIImageView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(80.0,00.0,81.0,50.0)];
imgQuiz.image=[UIImage imageNamed:@"x-mas_tree.png"];
[imgTab addSubview:imgQuiz];

imgtTW=[[UIImageView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(161.0,00.0,80.0,50.0)];
imgtTW.image=[UIImage imageNamed:@"greetings.png"];
[imgTab addSubview:imgtTW];

imgGuest=[[UIImageView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(241.0,00.0,80.0,50.0)];
imgGuest.image=[UIImage imageNamed:@"quotes_tab.png"];
[imgTab addSubview:imgGuest];

}

Tabbar Controller delegate method

- (void)tabBarController:(UITabBarController *)tabBarControllers didSelectViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController
{

NSLog(@"%i",tabBarControllers.selectedIndex);
if (tabBarControllers.selectedIndex == 0)
{

    imghome.image=[UIImage imageNamed:@"dressup_active.png"];
    imgQuiz.image=[UIImage imageNamed:@"x-mas_tree.png"];
    imgtTW.image=[UIImage imageNamed:@"greetings.png"];
    imgGuest.image=[UIImage imageNamed:@"quotes_tab.png"];

}
else if (tabBarControllers.selectedIndex == 1)
{

    imghome.image=[UIImage imageNamed:@"dressup.png"];
    imgQuiz.image=[UIImage imageNamed:@"x-mas_tree_active.png"];
    imgtTW.image=[UIImage imageNamed:@"greetings.png"];
    imgGuest.image=[UIImage imageNamed:@"quotes_tab.png"];

}
else if (tabBarControllers.selectedIndex == 2)
{

    imghome.image=[UIImage imageNamed:@"dressup.png"];
    imgQuiz.image=[UIImage imageNamed:@"x-mas_tree.png"];
    imgtTW.image=[UIImage imageNamed:@"greetings_active.png"];
    imgGuest.image=[UIImage imageNamed:@"quotes_tab.png"];

}
else if (tabBarControllers.selectedIndex == 3)
{

    imghome.image=[UIImage imageNamed:@"dressup.png"];
    imgQuiz.image=[UIImage imageNamed:@"x-mas_tree.png"];
    imgtTW.image=[UIImage imageNamed:@"greetings.png"];
    imgGuest.image=[UIImage imageNamed:@"quotes_active.png"];

}
