iOS UITabBarController Not Appearing in View

[nightcrawler234]

Hi, I started out with the utility application as the template.

Trying to add a UITabBarController to the flipside view.

in the flipsideviewcontroller.h, I declared:

UITabBarController *tabBarController;
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UITabBarController *tabBarController;


synthesized it in the .m


and added

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor viewFlipsideBackgroundColor];  
    

	
	pickerArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init]; 
	[pickerArray addObject:@"Manage Inventory"]; 
	[pickerArray addObject:@"Order Parts"]; 
    [pickerArray addObject:@"Blueprints"]; 
	
	
	[window addSubview:tabBarController.view];
	[window makeKeyAndVisible];
	
		
	
	
	
}

I created 2 additional view controllers:
FirstTabViewController and SecondTabViewController
Made one red, one blue

Opened up my flipside .xib


Added a uitabbarcontroller to the box
changed class and nib of tab 1 to firsttabviewcontroller and class/nib of tab 2 to secondtabview controller

And connected file's owner to the UITabBarcontroller

Is this right?

Appreciate the help

Why don't you start a new project with Tab's already on it?
That might spare you the headeache of trying and trying..

A new project based on the Tab Bar Application template is going to have the tab bar controller as the root view controller. Sounds like the OP wants the tabs to be part of a subsequent view (the flipside of a Utility app); therefore, I'm not sure how your advice will help.

It sounds right. What kind of issues are you encountering?

You say you opened the flip side view.xib and connected the file's owner to the UITabBarController, but what exactly did you connect? Maybe your connection is wrong.
