how to get the event that switch tab menu on iphone

Question

I'm trying to figure out how to catch the event that controls the switch tabs on the UITabBarController. How could I accomplish this?

Answer 1

Implement UITabBarControllerDelegate e.g. in your app delegate's applicationDidFinishLaunching

- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application
{
    tabBarController.delegate = self;
    [window addSubview:tabBarController.view];
}

Then implement either:

- (BOOL)tabBarController:(UITabBarController *)tabBarController shouldSelectViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController;

- (void)tabBarController:(UITabBarController *)tabBarController didSelectViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController;

The first method is called before the view switch and gives you a chance to 'veto' the view switch by returning NO

The second method is called after the view switch has taken place
