iOS 5 Storyboard: NavigationViewController to TabbarController - Not working , Why? - uitabbarcontroller

I am using iOS5 with Storyboard and my scenes are like this :
NavigationCOntroller ->(Nav view 1) TableViewController -> TabBarController ->(Tab1)TableViewController
and similarly I more tabs under my TabBarController.
Now I go to Tab1 when user clicks on any row in my TableViewCOntroller and before PerformingSegue I want to send some data to my Tab1(TableViewController) like this
MyTableVController *tvc = segue.destinationViewController;
tvc.selectedObject = currentObject;
[UITabBarController setSelectedObject:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x68c9450
Now why is it assuming that 'MyTableVController' is a UITabBarController and searching for setSelectedObject method ???
And how can I pass data to my TableViewCOntroller in this scenario ?
Thanks.

OK I have found solution to my problem , I did like this
UITabBarController *tabController = (UITabBarController *)segue.destinationViewController;
MyTableVController *tvc = (MyTableVController *)[viewControllers objectAtIndex:0];
And thats how you have your required viewcontroller and pass data to it.

Passing data to another view controller in swift 3

How do I send coredata values when selecting a row in table view to another view controller using SHOW SEGUE in swift 3?
This is my code in objective c using Present Modally Segue and I want the equivalent of that code in swift 3 using Show Segue because I'm using a navigation controller. I've been working on this for a couple hours but as of now, I still haven't been able to do it.
- (void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
if ([[segue identifier] isEqualToString:#"UpdateDevice"])
{
NSManagedObject *selectedDevice = [self.accounts objectAtIndex:[[self.tableView indexPathForSelectedRow] row]];
detailViewController *destViewController = segue.destinationViewController;
destViewController.account = selectedDevice;
}
}

Empty space between navigationbar and view

I'm experiencing this weird behaviour once I initiate an application root controller with a UINavigationController
On first launch, there is an empty space between the navigationbar and first viewcontroller controller.
but the full content is displayed after I swtiched to another view and back to the first one.
Is something wrong with this?
tab_bar_controller = RootViewController.alloc.initWithNibName(nil, bundle:nil)
#window.rootViewController = UINavigationController.alloc.initWithRootViewController(tab_bar_controller)
Thanks for your help.
It is not considered "proper" to put a UITabBarController inside a UINavigationController:
UINavigationController#initWithRootViewController ... rootViewController:
The view controller that resides at the bottom of the navigation stack.
This object cannot be an instance of the UITabBarController class.
The opposite - a UINavigationController as one of the UITabBarController child view controllers - is allowed.
nav_controller = RootViewController.alloc.initWithNibName(nil, bundle:nil)
#window.rootViewController = UITabBarController.alloc.init
#window.rootViewController.viewControllers = [nav_controller]
Even if you did get this figured out, your app would ultimately be rejected.
Try placing the content in the viewWillAppear callback.

How to pass data viewcontroller via Tab bar Controller

I want to pass datum from view controller to view controller via tab bar controller.
I mean, my storyboard is like this.
View Controller → Tab Bar Controller → VC1/VC2/VC3
For the purpose of this, I tried to use PrepareforSegue, but it's failed.
The code is here.
(void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender{
NSIndexPath *selectedIndexPath = [self.tableView indexPathForSelectedRow];
friendsDetailViewController* vc = [[friendsDetailViewController alloc] init];
vc = (friendsDetailViewController*)[segue destinationViewController];
vc.candidateid = [[NSString alloc] init];
vc.candidateid = [candidateid objectAtIndex:selectedIndexPath.row];
Though I was trying to pass data from VC to VC1, SIGABT happened on the last line.
Update:
I've got figured out how. Here is the script:
friendsDetailViewController* vc = [[friendsDetailViewController alloc] init];
UITabBarController* tbc = [segue destinationViewController];
vc = (friendsDetailViewController*)[[tbc customizableViewControllers] objectAtIndex:0];
Firstly, I have to attach Tab Bar Controller.
Secondly, retrieve each View Controller's pointer.
You can select by using objectIndex.
In childviewcontrollers of tab bar controllers you can easily pass data by using
[self.parentViewController.view setAccessibilityValue:#"your data"];
and can easily access this data in other child viewcontrollers of tabbar
or you can add an object in nsuserdefaults for some key and attach that key in parentviewcontroller.view ..
get that object by using objectforkey from nsuserdefaults in next viewcontroller
I had same problem.
I had NSString which i waned to be sent like this:
View Controller → Tab Bar Controller → VC1/VC2/VC3
Before anything else I created ViewController-s and TabBarController classes and connected them with storyboard.
This worked for me:
First lets send data from ViewController to TabBarController:
add segue to connect ViewController and TabBarController in storyboard and name it:
toMyTabController
add property u want to change in TabBarController:
#property (strong, nonatomic) NSString *name;
add this method somewhere in ViewController.m:
-(void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender
{
if([segue.identifier isEqualToString:#"toMyTabController"])
{
MyTabController *tabController = (MyTabController *)segue.destinationViewController;
tabController.name = #"SOME AWESOME NAME";
}
}
==================================================================================
Now lets send data from TabBarController to ViewController
Add property to every ViewController where you want to send info, and lets name it name (so creative)
add this to **ViewController1.h, ViewController2.h, ViewController3.h
#property (strong, nonatomic) NSString *name;
add this to ViewController1.m, ViewController2.m, ViewController3.m
#synthesize name;
go to your TabBarController.m and add this in ViewDidLoad method:
for (UIViewController* myController in self.viewControllers)
{
if([myController respondsToSelector:#selector(setName:)])
{
[myController performSelector:#selector(setName:) withObject:self.name];
}
}
Thats all,
Hope it helps. Good Luck

How to load ActivityIndicatorView on TableView inside TabBarcontroller, XCode 4.2

Xcode - version 4.2
Target Platform - iPhone
I have a TabBarController , containing 3 tabs. All tabs contain TableViewController wired to the TabBarController via NavigationController. All TableViewController shows data from external URL, and as well have their corresponding DetailViews.
The application works all fine.
I'm unable to add an 'UIActivityIndicatorView" while the data on the TableView is being loaded. The 'storyboard' neither allows me to add the 'UIActivityIndicatorView' control on the TableViewController or UINavigationController.
Note :
I understand placing UIActivityIndicatorView directly on a UIViewController.
I dont want the UIActivityIndicatorView 'loading' for the cells in the TableView.
Thanks,
Sriram
I'm trying to do the same with Storyboard but it seems that you should bette do it programmatically :
In your ViewController.h :
#property (strong) UIActivityIndicatorView *activityIndicator;
In viewDidLoad :
// init with desired state
activityIndicator = [[UIActivityIndicatorView alloc]
initWithActivityIndicatorStyle:UIActivityIndicatorViewStyleWhiteLarge];
// set the color
activityIndicator.color = [UIColor blackColor];
activityIndicator.frame = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 40.0, 40.0);
// set the position
activityIndicator.center = CGPointMake(self.view.bounds.size.width/2,
self.view.bounds.size.height/4);
If you have to handle orientation change, think to update the position in viewWillAppear and willRotateToInterfaceOrientation
I think I'll loose less time to code that than time to find a better way to work with Storyboards

UITabBarController moreNavigationController as a grouped TableView?

I am using a UITabBarController that has more than 5 items, so it shows the more tab.
Is it possible to make this moreNavigationController be a grouped TableView (uitableviewstylegrouped)? Currently it defaults to a normal table view.
Try giving exactly 5, instead of giving more than 5 and let the 5th be the host of your grouped table view controller
The following code snippet does precisely that. It uses the instance of UITabBarController (here called controller) to get access to the navigation bar and tableview controller using the UITabBarController moreNavigationController property.
#define BACKGROUNDCOLOUR [UIColor colorWithRed:253.0/255.0 green:255.0/255.0 blue:240.0/255.0 alpha:1.0]
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
//... other init code
UINavigationBar *moreNavBar = controller.moreNavigationController.navigationBar;
moreNavBar.tintColor = [UIColor blackColor];
UITableView *moreTableView = (UITableView *)controller.moreNavigationController.topViewController.view;
[moreTableView initWithFrame:CGRectZero style:UITableViewStyleGrouped];
[moreTableView setBackgroundColor:BACKGROUNDCOLOUR];
[self.window addSubview:controller.view];
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
