Question

I have a navigation controller. For one of the views i want to hide the bottom tab bar, so it gets the max possible screen real estate. To do this, i have:

- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil {
    self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
    if (self) {
        self.hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = YES; // To hide the tab bar
    }
    return self;
}

But for the next view that i push on the stack, i want the tab bar to reappear. Is there a way to do this?

Answer 1

One can make it reappear but it will result in an incorrect animation. Page comes in left and the bottom bar right. So it is probably not the behavior you want. But in the same controller, do self.hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = NO; before pushing the next view controller in.
