Human Interface Guidelines..

[tgao48]

Hi everyone,

I am working on an application that will involve using a UIButton to change the views of a tabbar.
For example, a button on tab3 will take the user to tab2.

My question is, will this violate Apple's iPhone human interface guidelines?

If you ask me, it will. Wether it gets rejected by Apple will depend on how strict they enforce it, and if they notice it. Personally, I'd steer clear.

mmm.....really i have used this solution on some apps.

click a button (Search)--->change tabbar item, so go to a new view--->push a view on navigation controller.

I agree with baja. It seems redundant. Why have an extra button when the user can just click on the tab bar item?

Scenario:
3 item on tabbar: Search, Chronology, Info.

You go in search, select some options, and tap "search", a uinavigation controller push view to display results.

User switch on tab Chronology, and see all the old researches, tap one of these, and then app go to first tab and push a view to display results.

Yes I,ve done smothing like this.
Where you have a MAP tab and from the search tab you could to the map tab.

This works, but have not yet submitted this app, so can't really tel if apple will allow this.
Will let you know, if the client will allow me to set the app in.
