I'm after a bit of help if possible please. I have added a badge to uitabbarcontroller which displays the same as the way a missed call is displayed in 'phone'. What I am struggling to do is remove the badge when the tab is pressed. The method for the badge is set in viewDidLoad Any advice gratefully received :) Cheers

the appdelegate controls the tabbar button presses line 918. A bit more info about what your doing may result in a better answer lol

Sorry, was as clear as could make it! Added a badge to each tab in uitabbarcontroller. The code is added to the first view controller in view did load as it acts as the root view. The badges are used to inform the number of items in the view of each tab. I have tried to add code to the appdelegate already in didSelectController and set the badge to nil but it does nothing. Does this make more sense?!

yeah sort of how are you passing the number of screens to the badge or is this fixed. Once the tab is clicked do you ever want the badge to ever reappear. So many variables head will explode. I think you would need to set the badges up in the app delegate file, then button clicked send it to nil. When view reopens for example set the badges as the number of blah blah blah.

I know in some push solution I saw once if I send a value of zero for the badge it clears it. Worth a try ?

@Kitts Using the following in firstviewcontroller, view did load. So this is [[[[[self tabBarController] tabBar] items] objectAtIndex:0] setBadgeValue:@"25"]; [[[[[self tabBarController] tabBar] items] objectAtIndex:1] setBadgeValue:@"30"]; etc, etc So, view loads, badges appear. This is fine as its not live and doesnt need changing unless an update is submitted. They need dismissing when touched and do not need to reappear again. So, just need to dismiss them somehow! @alan, if I add zero rather than nil i will show 'zero' in the badge. Cheers

Usually ppl make those appear with Notifications. You might want to look into local pushes and see if that's what your going for. As for dismissing them you can do it in the viewDidLoad of the VC you want it to dismiss them. Just like in the Phone App. -tM

Yeah, thats usually how they are used. Its not a critical part of my app at all. Cheers.

@Alex -- I hope you've found the answer, please post the solution when you can. We can use it for other situations. For next time, please make the subject be more specific like this: "How to clear badges on Tabbar items?" Later onwards, that will help all of us when searching for this forum post. Thanks, -- Niraj
