Question

Currently, five UIViewControllers are switched via a UITabBarController. How can I hide the TabBar and provide a full-screen for one of the UIViewControllers?

For example:

• The middle tab is clicked
• The UITabBarController TabBar is hidden
• The UIViewController takes full screen (hides status bar also)
• When one button in the middle is clicked, switch to the first tab (status bar resumes, UITabBarController TabBar resumes)

Answer 1

You can put the view controller in a navigation controller and set the view controller’s hidesBottomBarWhenPushed property to YES. Hiding the status bar can be done using statusBarHidden property of the shared application object.
