How to hide/show Tab bar animatingly with iphone sdk:

Here we are using UIView Animation and set frame to hide and show the tab bar.

BOOL hiddenTabBar;

- (void) hidetabbar {

           

            [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL];

            [UIView setAnimationDuration:0.5];

           

            for(UIView *view in self.tabBarController.view.subviews)

            {

                   NSLog(@"%@", view);

                  

                   if([view isKindOfClass:[UITabBar class]])

                   {

                            

                             if (hiddenTabBar) {

                                      [view setFrame:CGRectMake(view.frame.origin.x, 431, view.frame.size.width, view.frame.size.height)];

                             } else {

                                      [view setFrame:CGRectMake(view.frame.origin.x, 480, view.frame.size.width, view.frame.size.height)];

                             }

                   } else {

                             if (hiddenTabBar) {

                                      [view setFrame:CGRectMake(view.frame.origin.x, view.frame.origin.y, view.frame.size.width, 431)];

                             } else {

                                      [view setFrame:CGRectMake(view.frame.origin.x, view.frame.origin.y, view.frame.size.width, 480)];

                             }

                            

                   }

            }

           

            [UIView commitAnimations];       

            hiddenTabBar = !hiddenTabBar;

}
