Using XCode, and either through Code or through the Storyboard, can someone please explain to me how to add both a Tab Bar and Nav Bar to my view controller while keeping both visible?
Thanks so much.
To add a tab, first drag a new View Controller object to the storybard. Next control-drag from the tab bar controller to new view controller and select view controllers under Relationship Segue . Your tab bar controller will update with a new tab.
You need to open the storyboard, delete the view controller that you have, press cmd , shift , l , and then search for navigation controller . Drag that onto the storyboard. You now need to click on the navigation controller and set it to be the is initial view controller under the attributes inspector .
Go to the Storyboard. Select the View Controller and in The Editor menu select Embed in -> Navigation Controller. Next, drag a Bar Button from the Object Library to the left side of the Navigation Bar and name it "Left Item". Repeat this for the right side and name it "Right Item".
In your Storyboard, you should drag out a Tab Bar Controller and use that as the initial view controller. Then, you should embed each of the view controllers attached to the Tab Bar Controller inside Navigation Controllers (Editor menu: Embed In > Navigation Controller). Afterward, your Storyboard should look something like this:
The tab bar controller holds a tab bar and will manage switching between the other views attached to it, while the navigation controllers will place Navigation Bars at the top of each tab and help you manage navigation within the tab.
