Question

I’m using UITabBarController in my app. Originally I started the app from SDK 4.3 and then I moved to SDK 5.0. For some reason I need to change my code, to work on the new SDK. So, I changed the code

From this

self.view = tabController.view;

To this

[self.view addSubview:tabController.view];

Now the tabController switch from view to subView it’s not aligning properly.

Any help will be appreciated!

The UITabBarController should be use directly on the UIWindow, the gap you’re seeing is because it automatically places it self above the status bar.

I think the best solution is to do this in your app delegate:

[window addSubview:[tabController view]];

Or you could change the tabController’s view’s frame :

tabController.view.frame = CGRectOffset(tabController.view.frame, 0, -20)
[self.view addSubview:tabController.view];

The magic 20 is the height of the status bar.
