How do we add action to Tab Bar item

Question

I am using Tab Bar i.e. Bottom bar and have 5 tab bar items, i want to assign a method to each, so that i can navigate to other views on tab bar item click.

I've been looking for some clues, but couldn't make it.

you can use its delegate method and check which tab is clicked — PiyushRathi, Dec 13 '16 at 06:10
set Delegate to TabBar and use `- (void)tabBar:(UITabBar *)tabBar didSelectItem:(UITabBarItem *)item;` method. — PiyushRathi, Dec 13 '16 at 06:18
neither UITabbar nor UITabBarItem are inherited from UIControll to track user event, So delegate is the only way to achieve tabbarItem selection. — kaushal, Dec 13 '16 at 06:30

Use UITabBarDelegate.

Implement your class and inherit the protocol by adding after your class definition

@interface MyViewController : UIViewController<UITabBarDelegate>

and then use method tabBar:didSelectItem: in that class

- (void)tabBar:(UITabBar *)tabBar didSelectItem:(UITabBarItem *)item {
    // Do Stuff!
    // if(item.title == @"First") {...}
}

May be it will help you

In Swift

Implement UITabBarDelegate and use method didSelect

class MyViewController: UIViewController, UITabBarDelegate {
    func tabBar(_ tabBar: UITabBar, didSelect item: UITabBarItem) {
    }
}

Also create IBOutlet to toolbar

toolbar.delegate = self
