Question

I created new tab bar project in xcode 4.2 and there is no app delegate xib file. Project has two navigation controller. I can set name of tab bar but couldn’t set image. I am completely fed up with many tries. FirstViewController *firstView = [[FirstViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"FirstViewController_iPhone" bundle:nil]


firstView.title=@"Birthdays";
firstView.tabBarItem.image=[UIImage imageNamed:@"bottomleft.png"]; 
SecondViewController *secondView = [[SecondViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"SecondViewController_iPhone" bundle:nil]; 
secondView.title=@"Settings"; 
secondView.tabBarItem.image=[UIImage imageNamed:@"bottomright.png"]; 
UINavigationController *navController2 = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:secondView];
    navController2.navigationBarHidden=YES;
    [viewControllers addObject:navController2];   

Here you can see what sort of output I am getting.

Hard to tell from the code you posted, but you probably want to set the image on the tabBarItem of the UINavigationController (navController2), since it looks like that is what you directly add to you UITabBarController:

navController2.tabBarItem.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"bottomright.png"];

The reason you can set the title is that navigation controllers by default automatically have the title of their current child view controller.
