Question

I have a UIViewController inside Tab bar. For one VC in Tab bar I allow the interface to rotate upon device rotation. The challenge is, that I want to hide the Tab bar and resize my view inside.

What I did:

1) called - (void)willAnimateRotation.... in my Tab bar controller and set self.tabBar.isHidden to true -> the Tab bar disappeared.

2) called - (void)willAnimateRotation.... and set self.mapView.frame to maximum height.

BUT…I still have a black stripe in the bottom of the screen in exact size of the tab bar. Is there a way how to make the tab bar disappeat completely?

Answer 1

[self hideTabBar:self.tabBarController];


- (void) hideTabBar:(UITabBarController *) tabbarcontroller {

    [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];
    [UIView setAnimationDuration:0.5];
    for(UIView *view in tabbarcontroller.view.subviews)
    {
        if([view isKindOfClass:[UITabBar class]])
        {
            [view setFrame:CGRectMake(view.frame.origin.x, 480, view.frame.size.width, view.frame.size.height)];
        } 
        else 
        {
            [view setFrame:CGRectMake(view.frame.origin.x, view.frame.origin.y, view.frame.size.width, 480)];
        }

    }
    [UIView commitAnimations];    
}
