UITabBarItem initWithTitle image tag example in Objective C (iOS).

UITabBarItem initWithTitle image tag

Creates and returns a new item using the specified properties.

- (id)initWithTitle:(NSString *)title image:(UIImage *)image tag:(NSInteger)tag

Parameters of [UITabBarItem initWithTitle image tag]
title
The item’s title. If nil, a title is not displayed.
image
The item’s image. If nil, an image is not displayed.
The images displayed on the tab bar are derived from this image. The alpha values in the source image are used to create the unselected and selected images—opaque values are ignored. If this image is too large to fit on the tab bar, it is clipped to fit. The size of a tab bar image is typically 60 x 60 pixels. See “Custom Icon and Image Creation Guidelines” for more information about tab bar icons.
tag
The receiver’s tag, an integer that you can use to identify bar item objects in your application.

Return Value of [UITabBarItem initWithTitle image tag]
Newly initialized item with the specified properties.

UITabBarItem initWithTitle image tag example.

Something like this

-(void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    UITabBarItem *tbi = [[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTitle:yourTitle image:yourIcon tag:yourTag];
    [self setTabBarItem:tbi]
    [tbi release];
}

Example of [UITabBarItem initWithTitle image tag].

You can do this by creating the items you want for your tab bar, adding them to an array, and then calling the UITabBar method setItems:animated:

UITabBarItem *firstItem = [UITabBarItem initWithTitle:@"First" image:firstImage tag:1];
UITabBarItem *secondItem = [UITabBarItem initWithTitle:@"Second" image:secondImage tag:2];

NSArray *itemsArray = [NSArray arrayWithItems:firstItem, secondItem, nil];

[myTabBar setItems:itemsArray animated:YES];

UITabBarItem initWithTitle image tag example.

yourViewController.tabBarItem = [[UITabBarItem alloc]
initWithTitle:NSLocalizedString(@"Name", @"Name")
image:[UIImage imageNamed:@"tab_ yourViewController.png"]
tag:3];
The viewControllers are added to the tab bar, so the image and names should be set before the tab bar becomes visible (appDelegate if they are there on app start for instance). After that, you could use the above code to change the icon and text from the loadView or viewDidAppear within that viewController.

Example of [UITabBarItem finishedUnselectedImage].

There is a property on UIBarItem (UIBarButton item inherits from this class) imageInsets.

To use full height images (49px) for finishedSelectedImage and finishedUnselectedImage you need to set these image insets:

tabBarItem.imageInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(6, 0, -6, 0);
