iOS Tabbar button title displays only after the tab button is clicked

This is a rather unusual problem and i'm sure there is a simple fix for it.

I read the Apple Docs on View Controllers and combining View Controllers. So i copy pasted the code available for using a Tabbar and a Navigation Controller together, into Xcode.

Here's the code:

- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {

   tabBarController = [[[UITabBarController alloc] init] autorelease];

   MyViewController1* vc1 = [[[MyViewController1 alloc] init] autorelease];

   MyViewController2* vc2 = [[[MyViewController2 alloc] init] autorelease];

   MyViewController3* vc3 = [[[MyViewController3 alloc] init] autorelease];

   MyNavRootViewController* vc4 = [[[MyNavRootViewController alloc] init] autorelease];

   UINavigationController* navController = [[[UINavigationController alloc]

                           initWithRootViewController:vc4] autorelease];

   NSArray* controllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:vc1, vc2, vc3, navController, nil];

   tabBarController.viewControllers = controllers;

   // Add the tab bar controller's current view as a subview of the window

   window = [[[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]] autorelease];

   [window addSubview:tabBarController.view];

}

The program opens fine, but the name for each tabbar button appears only after it's clicked. The reason is because i've specified the self.title in the viewDidLoad. i tried specifying it in the LoadView and the awakeFromNib functions as well, but the problem persisted .

Any suggestions?

Why not just set the titles of each view after you allocate them.
