Can I change the background color of a specific UITabBarItem
in a UITabBar
?
I know how to change all the background of the selected background, using:
[[UITabBar appearance] setBarTintColor:[UIColor redColor]];
[[UITabBar appearance] setTintColor:[UIColor blueColor]];
[[UITabBar appearance] setSelectedImageTintColor:[UIColor yellowColor]];
But can it be done for only one item without subclassing?
Thanks
backgroundColor = UIColor(red:1, green:0, blue:0, alpha:1) / UITabBar. appearance(). tintColor = UIColor(red: 1, green: 0, blue: 0, alpha: 1) // New!! func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {...}
You can add a subview to the parent tabBar, and set a background color on the subview. You can use the tabBar frame dimensions to calculate the offset and width of your tabBarItem, and then insert the subview underneath.
Example (in Swift):
// Add background color to middle tabBarItem
let itemIndex = 2
let bgColor = UIColor(red: 0.08, green: 0.726, blue: 0.702, alpha: 1.0)
let itemWidth = tabBar.frame.width / CGFloat(tabBar.items!.count)
let bgView = UIView(frame: CGRectMake(itemWidth * itemIndex, 0, itemWidth, tabBar.frame.height))
bgView.backgroundColor = bgColor
tabBar.insertSubview(bgView, atIndex: 0)
in Swift:
This solution is for apps using Auto Layout
. Main difference between other solution is that: tabBar.frame.width
is not getting actual device's screen width. So, bgView
is appearing wrong place.
You can fix it with this : UIScreen.main.bounds.width
let tabWidth: CGFloat = UIScreen.main.bounds.width / CGFloat(self.tabbar!.items!.count)
let tabIndex: CGFloat = 2
let bgColor: UIColor = .redColor
let bgView = UIView(frame: CGRectMake(tabWidth * tabIndex, 0, tabWidth, 49))
bgView.backgroundColor = bgColor
self.tabbar!.insertSubview(bgView, atIndex: 0)
49 is a default height of
UITabbar
