iphone - UITabBar functionality without UITabBarController

Question

I have this problem, I've got a navigation-based application, and on the one of the detail view i need to have UITabBar, which will display some UITableViews. Since apple documentation says "you should never add a tab bar controller to a navigation controller" it make quite a problem, i've found this sample: link text, it's working, but after picking one of the table view, the UITabBar disappears.

Answer 1

don't use a tab bar controller, just use a UITabBar inside your controller view and manage the switches between UITableViews yourself, either by:

• loading up as many table views as you need and stacking them (bringing the one corresponding to the tab bar hit to front)
• switching a single table view's data source and delegate among a few helper objects - one per tab in your bar. When the user clicks a tab, reset the single table view's data source then instruct it to reloadData
