Custom Tab Bar

Easily add a custom tabbar to your Appcelerator Titanium iPhone app!

Check this tutorial with instructions about how to implement this. http://www.samjordan.co.uk/2011/02/tutorial-custom-iphone-tabbar-using-appcelerator-titanium/

All available settings are shown in the example, defaults will be along shortly.

Example

// Create the tab group
var tabGroup = Titanium.UI.createTabGroup();

// Assign windows & tabs
// IMPORTANT:
//			'tabBarHidden: true' should be set on all windows
//			height should be set to 480 - customTabBar's height (change 480 to app screen height)
var win1 = Titanium.UI.createWindow({ title:'Tab 1', height: 440, tabBarHidden: true });
var tab1 = Titanium.UI.createTab({ window:win1 });
var win2 = Titanium.UI.createWindow({ title:'Tab 2', height: 440, tabBarHidden: true });
var tab2 = Titanium.UI.createTab({ window:win2 });
tabGroup.addTab(tab1);  
tabGroup.addTab(tab2);  

// open tab group
tabGroup.open();

// Here is the magic
Ti.include("customTabBar/customTabBar.js");

var ctb = new CustomTabBar({
	tabBar: tabGroup,
	imagePath: 'iphone/images/',
	width: 80,
	height: 40,
	items: [
		{ image: 'home.png', selected: 'home_over.png' },
		{ image: 'cloud.png', selected: 'cloud_over.png' },
		{ image: 'cart.png', selected: 'cart_over.png' },
		{ image: 'settings.png', selected: 'settings_over.png' }
	]
});
