iphone change tab bar item on button click

Question

I have 4 tabs in my iphone application. When user will click a button in tab-1, I want to move/switch user to another tab suppose tab-2.

How to do that?

You don't click buttons on the iPhone, you tap them. – buildsucceeded Apr 14 '16 at 16:52 — buildsucceeded, Apr 14 '16 at 16:52

You can use

[self.tabBarController setSelectedIndex:tabIndex];

where tabIndex is the index of the tab you want to switch to.

and how to check which tab is clicked? any delegate method? – Ruchir Shah Mar 25 '10 at 17:27

When switching tabs, the `- (void)tabBarController:(UITabBarController *)tabBarController didSelectViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController` delegate method will be called. All of this is available in the documentation. It took me less than a minute to find it and answer your question ;) – Jasarien Mar 25 '10 at 17:35

Might also point out that if you are inside a view, you should use super instead of self.

Swift 3.0 version of @Jasarien answer:

self.tabBarController?.selectedIndex = tabIndex

where tabIndex is the index of the tab you want to switch to.
