Question

I’ve been trying to add a UIView (with a UIImageView) as an initial screen when the user launches my application for the first time. However, even after I hide the tab bar, or move its frame out of the screen, the UIView still crops itself as if the tab bar was still there.

Both of these code blocks produced the same result:

[appDelegate.tabBarController.tabBar setFrame:CGRectMake(0,1000,0,0)];
[self setView:InitialView];

and

[appDelegate.tabBarController.tabBar setHidden:YES];
[self setView:InitialView];

Here’s a screenshot of the incident in action:

Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I’ve been puzzling away at this for the past few hours, and I can’t seem to do anything about it.

Try this reference your App Delegate which should take in account the UITabBarController. Just the UIImageView as a subview, and when you are done just remove it. You’ll obviously have to import your AppDelegate.

AppDelegate *appDelegate = (AppDelegate*)[[UIApplication sharedApplication]delegate];

[imageView addSubview:appDelegate.window];
