I have a TabBarController with 7 Custom ViewControllers and what i am trying to do is have the TabBarController on startup load the first ViewController in its array as well as a ViewController in one of the other tabs.
As far as i understand it the viewDidLoad method for the ViewController’s is only called for that tab when it is first selected. Is there a way to force the TabBarController to call a ViewController viewDidLoad method even if its not active?
thx
Just reference the ViewController view:
If myViewController's view is nil, then it will be loaded.
Note that even if this approach is working, your app will be affected by the view loading/unloading mechanism which is controlled by the internal run loop logic and not by your app, while the view controller "internal logic" should be initialized by the initWithNib: method which is completely under your control. But this is just a suggestion to avoid strange bugs, anyway the solution proposed is working.
