UITabBarItem Image is in Blue and not changed
ios, objective-c, uitabbar, uitabbaritem, xcode
Solution
If you want to see your image, you need to set the image's rendering mode to `UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal`, otherwise the image is displayed as a template image. You should read the documentation on tab bars, it has this statement:
Tab Bar Item Icons
Each item in a tab bar can have a custom selected image and unselected image. You can specify these images when you initialize a tab bar item using the initWithTitle:image:selectedImage: method. Note that a tab bar item image will be automatically rendered as a template image within a tab bar, unless you explicitly set its rendering mode to UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal. For more information, see Template Images.
Problem
Um using my own `TabBarController` which is `ElWafyatTabBarController` basically it inherits from `UITabBarController`. In `ElWafyatTabBarController.m -> viewDidLoad` I've created some `ViewControllers`, Then I created `UINavigationController`'s with rootViewController to the `viewControllers` I've made in the step before. then I've created `UITabBarItem` and set it with image and title for each navigation controller which has `rootViewController` to the viewControllers that I've created in the first step, and set the `tabBarItem` for these `navigationController` to these `tabBarItem`. The problem I found is even the title for the `UITabBarItem` is shown correctly, but the image is displayed at blue Color. FYI: I've created two images named test.png and test@2x.png with dimensions 32x32 and 64x64 and I still have these issue, So any one can help ? this is my Code: ElWafyatTabBarController -> viewDidLoad ``` - (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad]; HomeViewController *homeViewController = [[HomeViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"HomeViewController" bundle:nil]; NaaiViewController *naaiViewController = [[NaaiViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"NaaiViewController" bundle:nil]; MushatraViewController *mushatraViewController = [[MushatraViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"MushatraViewController" bundle:nil]; TakremViewController *takremViewController = [[TakremViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"TakremViewController" bundle:nil] UINavigationController *homeNavC = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:homeViewController]; UINavigationController *naaiNavC = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:naaiViewController]; UINavigationController *mushatraNavC = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:mushatraViewController]; UINavigationController *takremNavC = [[UINavigationController alloc]initWithRootViewController:takremViewController]; // Setup Controllers for Tab Bar. (first level). // [homeNavC.tabBarItem setTitle:@"الرئيسية"]; // [naaiNavC.tabBarItem setTitle:@"نعي"]; // [mushatraNavC.tabBarItem setTitle:@"مشاطرة"]; // [takremNavC.tabBarItem setTitle:@"تكريم"]; homeNavC.navigationBar.titleTextAttributes = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:[UIColor whiteColor] forKey:UITextAttributeTextColor]; naaiNavC.navigationBar.titleTextAttributes = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:[UIColor whiteColor] forKey:UITextAttributeTextColor]; mushatraNavC.navigationBar.titleTextAttributes = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:[UIColor whiteColor] forKey:UITextAttributeTextColor]; takremNavC.navigationBar.titleTextAttributes = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:[UIColor whiteColor] forKey:UITextAttributeTextColor]; homeNavC.navigationBar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlack; naaiNavC.navigationBar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlack; mushatraNavC.navigationBar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlack; takremNavC.navigationBar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlack; UITabBarItem* tabBarItem = [[UITabBarItem alloc] initWithTitle:@"Colors" image:[UIImage imageNamed:@"test.png"] tag:9]; homeNavC.tabBarItem = tabBarItem; myViewControllers = [ NSArray arrayWithObjects:takremNavC, mushatraNavC, naaiNavC, homeNavC,nil]; [self setViewControllers:myViewControllers animated:YES]; [self.tabBarController setSelectedIndex:3]; [self setSelectedIndex:3]; } ``` and these the output:
