I have created Tab Bar view controller with three views. I have also embedded same tab bar in Navigation Bar Controller.
Now I want to add Navingation Bar Button item at right side. When I try to add button in IB individually three view controller doesn't accept it.
How can I add Navingation bar button item at right side?
Just create the new viewController in the canvas of IB.
Then
- control drag from the initial TabBarController to the new viewController,
- select View controllers in the popup.
A new item will appear at the right of the tabBar.
Note: control drag from the view content or the Tab Bar Controller icon at bthe top left of the TabBarController, not from the tabBar itself.
You gave me wrong answer....
I want to add Navigation Bar Button & Not Tab Bar View Controller...
OK. See your title:
Add Navigation Bar Button Item in Tab Bar View Controller
Isn't it a bit misleading ?
So, with your further explanation:
In one of the controllers where you navigate to, add the following:
@objc func addButtonAction(_ sender: UIBarButtonItem) {
print("Test Right button", self.navigationItem.title)
}
var addButton: UIBarButtonItem!Then, in viewDidLoad, add:
addButton = UIBarButtonItem(title: "test", style: .done, target: self, action: #selector(addButtonAction(_:)))
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = self.addButtonNo It's not working... Button is not appearing.
Keep in mind... I have embeded Navigation Bar to Tab Bar view Controller.
I have three ViewControllers in a UITabBarViewController, say VC1, VC2 and VC3.
I made all three of them extend a base UIViewController say BaseVC.
class VC1: BaseVC{
...
}
class VC2: BaseVC{
...
}
class VC3: BaseVC{
...
}
in the BaseVC class write the following:
class BaseVC: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
let moreOptions = UIBarButtonItem(image: UIImage(systemName: K.UI.moreOptions), style: .plain, target: self, action: #selector(showMoreOption))
self.tabBarController?.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItems = [moreOptions]
}
@objc func showMoreOption(){
print("Mor Options Clicked"
}
}
