Tabbar display issue, hides input bar

[Fredehagelund92]

I've added a UITabBarController. This tabBar will be on top of the message bar. How can i make this chatView smaller? so the message bar is not under the tabBar.

i've tried making it smaller by this code:

self.tableView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width,self.view.frame.size.height-50);
in the chatViewController.

Where and how can i make the JCMessageTableView smaller, so the messageBar is not hiding under the tabBar?

hey @Fredehagelund92 -- checkout the discussion in #94.

your best bet is probably using a container view that is sized above the tabbar.

EDIT: version 5.0 will resolve this.

I've decided not to support this, for a couple of reasons:

1. this is actually pretty difficult. i attempted this and it gets dirty pretty quickly. so i decided it was not worth the dev effort, especially (mostly) because of (2) below
2. i realized that this is really bad UI/UX. no other chat interfaces that i've seen show the tabbar. for example, FB messenger shows your chat list as the first tab in the tabbar controller. however, when you select a chat, the chat view pushes over and the tabbar is hidden. i think this is the proper way to do it. you shouldn't be showing this VC with a tabbar visible.
