Bottom half of UITabBar buttons not working

[mouser58907]

Basically from the glossy shading down is unclickable. Here is how I create it:

tabBarViewController = [[TabBarViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"TabBarViewController" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];

I've seen other posts about this with no responses. Any ideas?

the problem should be in addSubview of it, where you are trying to add as subview?

[mouser58907]

		[window addSubview:tabBarViewController.view];

That's it, it's a window based app, and that is the window it starts with.

I'm going to bump this with a slight update. When I present a modal view controller there is a slight white area at the bottom during the animation and it disappears once the animation is complete. This white area corresponds exactly to the unclickable area of the tab bar.

Bump, does anyone have any suggestions? This is a pretty big issue that I cannot figure out.

I have had my struggles with tabbar aswell not this particular problem though.

Do you have any simulated interface in the mainwindow nib?, IB will make the actual view smaller then but since it's your mainwindow and the tabbar will be added inside you dont want that.

Good thought, I did have the status bar set to gray, but removing that didn't actually change anything. I was able to reproduce the issue in a test project. I've uploaded it here if anyone would be so kind as to take a look at it:

Thank you.

Your view holding the tab bar is too small (A simple but wrong fix is to change the view size in the myTabBar.xib to 480). But you are doing it in a strange way anyway. Look at the tab bar template included with Xcode and use it to get started until you understand how it is supposed to fit together.

That fixed it! Thanks. The reason I'm doing it this way is so I can put logic int he tab bar's controller that will affect all of the viewcontrollers it holds. Changing that size to 480 did the trick!
