The elements of the tab bar have a different width

advertisements

I am creating an iPhone app where i need to show 5 tab bar items . My requirement is I want first tab bar item to have smaller width than other 4 . is it possible and how to go about doing this. Please suggest .

I don't think it's possible to do this. UITabBar and UITabBarItem are two of the least customizable classes in UIKit. UITabBarItem does not even inherit from UIView.

I needed to something similar and ended up rolling my own TabBarController, TabBar and TabBarItem classes. If you only need the basic tab bar functionality it's not too much work. If you want the fancy new iOS 7 transitions it will be a lot more work.
