Jump to a specific tab in a UITabBarController

Question

I want to jump to third tab in tabcontroller. I searched in Google but found nothing helpful.

If anybody can help I will be grateful.

Answer 1

You want to set the selectedIndex property of the tab controller

Answer 2

Was the title/question changed? I thought the question was about Xcode...

For what you're asking, try setting selectedIndex of your UITabBarController, like this:

self.tabBarController.selectedIndex = indexOfTab;

However don't overuse it, some automatic transitions between tabs can be considered as bad user experience.
