Tab bar not showing on sub pages during runtime

Question

I have a UITabBarController with 4 tabs, suppose A,B,C and D. I have a table view in page A. On clicking on any of the rows, E page opens. The problem is that on creating show segue from view controller A to E, the tab bar appears below in E in storyboard, whereas during runtime no tab bar is visible on E. Please could anyone help me out in this.

EDIT :

I can add tab bar item to tab bar of subview as below:

This is the view hierarchy :

Note : I want to the tab bar of the main A-D tabs in all sub pages of A-D

Are you sure it's **Show** segue and not **Present Modally**? Also, are your tableviewcontrollers embedded in a UINavigationController? — netdigger, Dec 29 '16 at 09:34
@netigger Yes its show segue and its embedded in UINavigationController. Back button is coming properly on page E too. — Mamta, Dec 29 '16 at 09:43
Sorry to misunderstand your question. If you already embedded the table view controller inside UINavigationController, it should be no problem to push (by using *Show* segue) E to it and the tab bar should be visible unless you uncheck the "Hide Bottom Bar on Push" in your navigation controller. — bubuxu, Dec 29 '16 at 10:11
Maybe you can debug view hierarchy? And show how that looks? — netdigger, Dec 29 '16 at 10:16
I think its not a tab. Its a bottom bar of navigation controller. Just try to to hide it the bottom bar of navigation controller. Because as per my opinion tab bar's usual behavior is that it will show only sub pages of it not in views that are not part of it(i.e View E is not part of tab bar). — Amanpreet, Dec 29 '16 at 11:10
@Amanpreet Bottom bar of navigation controller is set to none — Mamta, Dec 29 '16 at 11:12
@Dia debug view hierarhcy like this: http://stackoverflow.com/a/26052806/897465 — netdigger, Dec 29 '16 at 11:18
I want to see. If you don't mind can you update the image. And One more thing is that default behavior that you can see tab in E view because its not usual thing. — Amanpreet, Dec 29 '16 at 11:36
@Amanpreet I have taken a new view controller as E and set its tab bar item to favourites. I have updated image in my question — Mamta, Dec 29 '16 at 11:43
Strange thing!! Please check the bottom bar is "none" ? Or its property changed for this view controller? — Amanpreet, Dec 29 '16 at 11:50

I want to show you two images in different conditions. Maybe it's not a answer but will help you in some manner.

!) I have tab bar controller connected with navigation controller. That Tab bar has two items. "Top Rated" view has a button that connected to other view controller. Check right hand side attribute section for this bottom bar is none.

2)Same condition for second image but this time I changed the bottom bar option of this view controller(check attribute section). Now the view controller has tab bar item.

But this will not show in run time because this is not connected with tab bar controller. One more thing you can easily put tab bar item on new view controller that are not connected with navigation and tab bar controller, but when you run it will not there.

Updated:

This will help you. Try to set navigation inside of tab bar controller. Give tab bar item to navigation controller. Like:

Output is:

When button clicked:

In that manner you can tab bar in all views.

Update 2:

Here I have Navigation then Home view then the above process with tab bar controller and its working fine.

Updated Output:

When button clicked:

My tab bar shows in storyboard on all subviews too. It just doesn't show on runtime. I want to the tab bar of the main A-D tabs in sub pages of all pages of A-D – Mamta Dec 29 '16 at 12:08
@Dia please check the updated section of answer. May be this is thing that you want. – Amanpreet Dec 29 '16 at 12:21
Its working but its leaving empty space of a navigation bar below the actual navigation barand then displaying the contents – Mamta Dec 29 '16 at 12:38
I guess its due to use of navigation controller twice. How do I overcome that? – Mamta Dec 29 '16 at 12:38
Use pattern like Tab bar controller -> Navigation Controller -> View controller. Do not use navigation as a initial view controller. – Amanpreet Dec 29 '16 at 12:40
But i need to use it to go back to home page – Mamta Dec 29 '16 at 12:41
@Dia check the update 2 section of answer here I used navigation as initial view controller. – Amanpreet Dec 29 '16 at 12:48
My structure is exactly the same but on runtime it leaves an empty space on top. Is that the same in your case? – Mamta Dec 29 '16 at 12:49
On "forgot your login details" page is it working fine after update 2? – Mamta Dec 29 '16 at 12:50
Yes Do you need its output? – Amanpreet Dec 29 '16 at 12:52
Please check your attributes of navigation controller. May be there will be some problem. – Amanpreet Dec 29 '16 at 12:53
Thanks for accepting if it useful for you please do not forget to give up votes :) – Amanpreet Dec 29 '16 at 12:54
I checked.. Its an empty space below the navigation bar still.. Can you give any color to the forgot details page and check please – Mamta Dec 29 '16 at 12:55
@Dia check the updated output. I have no issue. Please check carefully all attributes. – Amanpreet Dec 29 '16 at 13:04
