Can i make custom UITabBarController with custom event tap on TabBarItem?

Question

I need to display the UITabBarController , but I don't need it to switch me to the Controller from the viewControllers array. Can I reassign the event or would it be better to create my own such TabBarController ?

Answer 1

You can create a subclass for UITabBarController and confirm to UITabBarControllerDelegate

Then you can perform custom tab section actions in shouldSelect method.

func tabBarController(_ tabBarController: UITabBarController, 
                  shouldSelect viewController: UIViewController) -> Bool
{
  if viewController == secondViewController { 
   //Do your actions
   return false
  }
  return true
}
