Question

I am working on tabbar application. When application started, by default first tab is selected.

What I want to is when I start application, tab bar should be displayed without selected tab. Like say, if i have 4 tabs then non them get selected when application get launched. By default first one get selected.

I want to display some views which are not part of any of tabs.

Is it possible to do ?

Thanks…

Yes, this is possible.

You need to create a view programmatically and add that view in Window as SuperView , when you don’t need it just remove it form SuperView.

[SuperViewname removeFromSuperView];

Code Snippet:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {    

    // Override point for customization after application launch.
    // Add the tab bar controller's view to the window and display.
    [self.window addSubview:tabBarController.view];
        [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];


**AdditionalView**
//======================= LoginView ================================================
    loginview=[[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480)];
    imgview_logingpage=[[UIImageView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 480)];
    imgview_logingpage.image=[UIImage imageNamed:@"Screen.jpg"];

    loginview.backgroundColor=[UIColor blackColor];


        [self.window addSubview:Viewnavigation.view];
    [self.window addSubview:loginview];  // To add the View in Window View

}

// To REmove the View from SuperView
-(void)login_clicked:(id)sender
{

        Homepage *obj_homepage=[[Homepage alloc]initWithNibName:@"Homepage" bundle:nil];
        [self.window addSubview:obj_homepage.view];
        [loginview removeFromSuperview];
        [loginview release];
}

Or either the more easy way is : Open a new view via PresentModalViewController
