Normally tabbar shows more tab if there is more then 5 tab in a tab bar controller. To overcome this problem you can use ZRScrollableTabBar which will allow you to put as many tab as you want and they are scrollable
Sample screenshots
To run the example project, clone the repo, and run pod install from the Example directory first.
Usage sample
-(void)initScrollableTabbar
{
// Tab bar
UITabBarItem *item1 = [[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTabBarSystemItem:UITabBarSystemItemBookmarks tag:1];
UITabBarItem *item2 = [[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTabBarSystemItem:UITabBarSystemItemContacts tag:2];
UITabBarItem *item3 = [[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTabBarSystemItem:UITabBarSystemItemDownloads tag:3];
UITabBarItem *item4 = [[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTabBarSystemItem:UITabBarSystemItemFeatured tag:4];
UITabBarItem *item5 = [[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTabBarSystemItem:UITabBarSystemItemRecents tag:5];
UITabBarItem *item6 = [[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTabBarSystemItem:UITabBarSystemItemTopRated tag:6];
UITabBarItem *item7 = [[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTabBarSystemItem:UITabBarSystemItemRecents tag:7];
UITabBarItem *item8 = [[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTabBarSystemItem:UITabBarSystemItemContacts tag:8];
UITabBarItem *item9 = [[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTabBarSystemItem:UITabBarSystemItemBookmarks tag:9];
ZRScrollableTabBar *tabBar = [[ZRScrollableTabBar alloc] initWithItems:[NSArray arrayWithObjects: item1, item2, item3, item4, item5, item6, item7, item8, item9, nil]];
tabBar.scrollableTabBarDelegate = self;
[self.view addSubview:tabBar];
}
You will get the tabbar with selected index on delegate method
- (void)scrollableTabBar:(ZRScrollableTabBar *)tabBar didSelectItemWithTag:(int)tag
{
....
}
iOS 7+, Compitable on both iPhone and iPad
