Question

I’ve a problem with something that seems to be very simple.
My app has a view hierarchy consisting in a UITabBarController containing UINavigationControllers. When I navigate from the root to the second level
I set the hidesBottomBarWhenPushed on true so that the tab bar is hidden

On my firstLevelController:

[secondLevelController setHidesBottomBarWhenPushed:YES];

[self.navigationController pushViewController:secondLevelController animated:YES];

After that when I push to the third level, I bring the tab bar again by doing in the secondLevelController:

[self setHidesBottomBarWhenPushed:NO];

[thirdLevelController setHidesBottomBarWhenPushed:NO];

[self.navigationController pushViewController:thirdLevelController animated:YES];

(I know, I didn’t like the [self setHidesBottomBarWhenPushed:NO] either, but it didn´t work otherwise…)

So, here is the problem: when I push the back button in the third level and the second view appears, I need to hide the tabbar again but I couldn´t find the way of doing this.

Any help is appreciated

Answer 1

This is what works for me.

[self setHidesBottomBarWhenPushed:NO];
[thirdLevelController setHidesBottomBarWhenPushed:NO];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:thirdLevelController animated:YES];
[self setHidesBottomBarWhenPushed:YES];

The thirdlevelController shows the tabbar and secondLevelController does not show the tabbar when you pop the thirdLevelController.
