Tab icon images

[styldimitriou]

How can I set tab bar icon images without any default or selected color? I just want their images to be displayed for both default and selected status.

If you want to achieve a tab bar where the images for selected/default are the same then don't provide Selected Icons.

You can use:

let tabController = AZTabBarController.insert(into: self, withTabIconNames: icons)
// where icons is an array of string, where each string is the name of the image.

Or

let tabController = AZTabBarController.insert(into: self, withTabIcons: icons)
// where icons is an array of UIImage

As for the color you can set the default icon color and the highlighted icon color to be the same by doing:

let myColor: UIColor = ...

tabController.defaultColor = myColor

tabController.selectedColor = myColor

Thanks for the fast response.

Actually, I do want to display different images for default and selected status but I don't want to apply any color on them because of their design.

Please see the links bellow for better understanding of my issue.

@stelarelas I see, You have an image with a multi color pattern. Well at the moment this doesn't work but I can give you a temporary fix and hopefully in the future I will add this feature.

@stelarelas Replace this function with

private func customizeAsNormalButtonForTabBarWithImage(image: UIImage,highlightImage: UIImage? = nil, selectedColor: UIColor, defaultColor: UIColor? = UIColor.gray) {
        // The tint color is the one used for selected state.
        self.tintColor = selectedColor
        // When the button is not selected, we show the image always with its
        // original color.

        self.setImage(image.imageWithColor(color: defaultColor!), for: [])
        self.setImage(image.imageWithColor(color: defaultColor!), for: .highlighted)
        if let hImage = highlightImage {
            self.setImage(hImage.imageWithColor(color: selectedColor), for: .selected)
            self.setImage(hImage.imageWithColor(color: selectedColor), for: [.selected, .highlighted])
        }else{
            self.setImage(image.imageWithColor(color: selectedColor), for: .selected)
            self.setImage(image.imageWithColor(color: selectedColor), for: [.selected, .highlighted])
        }

        // We don't want a background color to use the one in the tab bar.
        self.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear
    }

This function:

private func customizeAsNormalButtonForTabBarWithImage(image: UIImage,highlightImage: UIImage? = nil, selectedColor: UIColor, defaultColor: UIColor? = UIColor.gray) {
        // The tint color is the one used for selected state.
        self.tintColor = selectedColor
        self.setImage(image, for: [])
        self.setImage(image, for: .highlighted)
        if let hImage = highlightImage {
            self.setImage(hImage, for: .selected)
            self.setImage(hImage, for: [.selected, .highlighted])
        }else{
            self.setImage(image, for: .selected)
            self.setImage(image, for: [.selected, .highlighted])
        }
        self.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear
    }

Note that I haven't tested this, so this may not work, but it should get the work done.

I just did it a minute ago and it works perfectly!

Thanks a lot for your help!
