UISegmentedcontrol to switch views in UITabbarcontroller

[CKallemeres]

I am trying to switch between multiple different views using a UISegmentedControl. I found a really good example to do this in: Red Artisan - Ruby on Rails Specialists - Melbourne, Australia - Switching Views with a UISegmentedControl - Revisited

However, I need to use a UITabbarController in my app. So the navigation controller is not available for me in the app delegate. Is there any other way to switch views in a UITabbarController using UISegmentedControl?

This is the structure of my application as I need it to be:

Media (Tab Bar Item)
- Lessons (Table view)
- Detail view
- Videos (Table view)
- Detail view

I wanted to make the segmented control switch between lessons and videos.
Thank you in advance for all your help!

why don't you add the navigation controller to the app delegate? you can do that despite what type of base template you are using.

How would I do that?

Your Media tab accepts as its contents a UIViewController. Once you are inside it, you want to switch to either of your Views, right ?
UINavigationController IS a UIViewController.
So when you first load your Media tab, you would not use as its contents the Lessons view controller, but instead a UINavigationController that has Lessons as its RootViewController, then you switch them using the method you mentioned
