Question

I’v been trying to hide/remove the UITabBar from a UITabBarController. I’ve got a UITabBar in my iPhone version but I’ve moved the navigation to a new view controller for the iPad version. The new menu works using the UITabBarDelegate methods to switch between the UIViewControllers.

So far so good.

All I need now is to somehow hide the UITabBar.

I’ve got a custom UITabBarController and I’ve tried simply using self.tabBar.hidden = YES;
but i need the view to fill the screen.

Thank you

Hope this is helpful to someone else

for(UIView *view in self.view.subviews)
    {
        if([view isKindOfClass:[UITabBar class]])
        {
            [view setFrame:CGRectMake(view.frame.origin.x, self.view.frame.size.height+49, view.frame.size.width, view.frame.size.height)];
        } 
        else 
        {
            [view setFrame:CGRectMake(view.frame.origin.x, view.frame.origin.y, view.frame.size.width, self.view.frame.size.height)];
        }

    }
