 tab2 = [[ZiyaretFormTab2 alloc] initWithNibName:@"ZiyaretFormTab2" bundle:nil];

In each of your view controllers that go into the tabs (ZiyaretFormTab1 to ZiyaretFormTab5), insert this code into initWithNib or viewDidLoad functions.

    UITabBarItem * tabtitle = [[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTitle: @"title"
                                                            image: nil //or your icon 
                                                              tag: 0];

    [self setTabBarItem: tabtitle];

Put the tab settings to AppDelegate.

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions

Put your name and icon information uniforms visit here:

- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
    self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
    if (self) {
        self.title = @"Kulağını tersten tutmana gerek yok";
    self.tabBarItem.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"ringtab.png"];

    }
    return self;
}

Have you tried to set

[tab1 setTitle:@"Your Title"]

after allocating and initialising it.

Tab bar titles are controlled by their respective view controllers. The easiest way to set the title is from within the view controller for that tab, instead of trying to set it in the tab directly.

Each view controller has a title property which is used to set the title in tab bars and navigation bars. It also has a tabBarItem property which has it's own title property that you can set if you want to just set the tab and not affect navigation bars.

So in the viewDidLoad of your viewController, you could write:

self.tabBarItem.title = @"theTitle";

Did you put this code in the viewDidLoad of your ZiyaretFormTab1 controller class? — Nick Lockwood, Jan 28 '12 at 16:03
