UITabBar more button navigation issue

Question

In my app I nearly have 10 tab items which end up adding a more button to the tab bar. When I select the more button it list the other tab bar contents as a list. I select one of them and navigate inside (this has a navigation controller) and click on an item. Again if I click on the more button the previous page loads and to load the more tab items I have to click several times as it will pop the UI controllers. Hence I need to load the tab bar list every time the user click on more item. Please help me to figure it out how to do it.

Thank you

try using this infinite tabbar https://github.com/iosdeveloper/InfiniTabBar — Felix, Jun 22 '11 at 21:54
Apple doesn't like this sort of things - couple of WWDC speakers specifically singled out "fancy" tabbars. — Paul Ardeleanu, Jun 22 '11 at 22:11

You can do this by in the ViewWillDisappear method of view controller in More tab, call method to pop this view out of MoreViewNavigationController, like this:

[super viewWillDisappear:animated];

[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated:NO];

this is the answer

If you need a lot of buttons on the bar button item is and they do not fit into it.

//  MasterViewController.h
        .
        .
        .

        - (IBAction)btMy:(id)sender;
        @property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIBarButtonItem *btMy;


        @property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIBarButtonItem *bt1;
        @property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIBarButtonItem *bt2;
        @property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIBarButtonItem *bt3;
        @property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIBarButtonItem *bt4;
        @property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIBarButtonItem *bt5;
        @property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIBarButtonItem *bt6;
        @property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIBarButtonItem *bt7;
        @property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIBarButtonItem *bt8;
        @property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIBarButtonItem *fl1;
        @property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIBarButtonItem *fl2;
        @property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIBarButtonItem *fl3;
        @property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIBarButtonItem *fl4;
        @property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIBarButtonItem *fl5;
        @property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIBarButtonItem *fl6;
        @property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIBarButtonItem *fl7;
        @property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIBarButtonItem *fl8;
        @end

        //  MasterViewController.m
        .
        .
        .
    @interface MasterViewController ()
    { 
        BOOL tt;
    }
    .
    .
    .
       - (IBAction)btMy:(id)sender {
        [self nextToolBar];

    } 

        -(void) nextToolBar {
         if (tt ) {
                self.navigationController.toolbar.items = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:_bt1, _fl1, _bt2, _fl1, _bt3, _fl1, _bt4, _fl1, _btMy, nil];
                tt = NO;
            }else{
                self.navigationController.toolbar.items = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:  _bt5, _fl1, _bt6,_fl1,_bt7,_fl1, _bt8, _fl1, _btMy, nil];
                tt = YES;
                 }

            for ( NSInteger x = 0; x < 8; x++){ // если при перевороте цвет меняли на прозрачный, востанавливаем обратно

                [self.navigationController.toolbar.items[x] setTintColor:_btMy.tintColor];
            }

        }

        -(void)didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)interfaceOrientation{ // после смены орентации устройства
           [self nextToolBar]; // показываем кнопки 4+1 иначе отображается все кнопки 8+1 шт

        }

        -(void)willRotateToInterfaceOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)orientation duration:(NSTimeInterval)duration{ // до смены арентауции устройства
            NSArray *myArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:_bt1, _bt2, _bt3, _bt4, _bt5, _bt6, _bt7, _bt8, nil]; // перед переворотом экрана меняем цвет на прозрачный
            for ( NSInteger x = 0; x < 8; x++){

                [myArray[x] setTintColor:[UIColor clearColor]];  //  
                 }
            if (tt) {tt=NO;} else {tt=YES;}   // чтобы вернуться на тот же набор кнопок
        }

Maybe you should think about restructuring your app. Do you really need 10 parallels area of information/functionality?!

Yup :( However an app with more than 6 items will face this issue. – Dilshan Jun 23 '11 at 10:16
