Question

The title pretty much says it all. I’m trying to create an interface where after connecting with Facebook, the window loads up my HomeViewController (my initially selected UITabBarItem). Although, I do not want the UINavigationBar that comes through as I have set the HomeViewController as the LoginViewController‘s root view. I have different navigation bar items for each view, so defaulting to that one won’t work. I have this code now.

AppDelegate.m

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    self.window = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]];
    self.mainViewController = [[HomeViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"HomeViewController" bundle:nil];
    self.navigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:self.mainViewController];
    self.window.rootViewController = self.navigationController;
}

After a good nights sleep, I was able to figure it out. Hopefully, this can help others out there!

AppDelegate.m

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    self.tabBarController = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];

    // Initialize view controllers
    HomeViewController *homeViewController = [[HomeViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"HomeViewController" bundle:nil];
    ConnectViewController *connectViewController = [[ConnectViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"ConnectViewController" bundle:nil];
    PartyControlViewController *partyControlViewController = [[PartyControlViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"PartyControlViewController" bundle:nil];
    MeViewController *meViewController = [[MeViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"MeViewController" bundle:nil];
    MoreViewController *moreViewController = [[MoreViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"MoreViewController" bundle:nil];

    [self.tabBarController setViewControllers:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:homeViewController, connectViewController, partyControlViewController, meViewController, moreViewController, nil]];

    // Customize Tab Bar
    UITabBarItem *homeTab = [[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Home" image:nil tag:0];
    UITabBarItem *connectTab = [[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Connect" image:nil tag:1];
    UITabBarItem *partyControlTab = [[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Party Control" image:nil tag:2];
    UITabBarItem *meTab = [[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Me" image:[UIImage imageNamed:@"person.png"] tag:3];
    UITabBarItem *moreTab = [[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTabBarSystemItem:UITabBarSystemItemMore tag:4];

    [homeViewController setTabBarItem:homeTab];
    [connectViewController setTabBarItem:connectTab];
    [partyControlViewController setTabBarItem:partyControlTab];
    [meViewController setTabBarItem:meTab];
    [moreViewController setTabBarItem:moreTab];

    self.window.rootViewController = self.tabBarController;
}
