Select tab from UITabBarController programmatically and load view

Question

I am having an issue loading the view of selected tab item.

I am using the code below in the viewDidLoad of the UIViewController at item 1 of the UITabBar.

UITabBarController *tab = self.tabBarController;

if (tab){
   NSLog(@"I have a tab bar");
   [self.tabBarController setSelectedIndex:1];
   [self.tabBarController.view setNeedsDisplay];
   self.tabBarController.selectedIndex=1;
} else {
    NSLog(@"I don't have");
}

When I press Back To Tab Controller Button, it selects the tab but it doesn't open the required view. It shows the view of the tab at index 0.

Answer 1

Write your code in viewDidAppear: method instead of view did load. it will work..
