Hi, i added a Tab bar to my existing view called secondViewController where there are now 4 tab bar items using interface builder. This tab bar will allow the users to switch between views.

This is what ive tried to do: If i use a tabbar controller, then a new view pops up and i dont want that. i simply want to be able to add a tab bar as ive done and carry on from there. i dont know how to actually connect it all up and make everything work together. This is what i understand:

i have to make my current - secondViewController an tabbardelegate which is what ive done as shown

@interface paddedDholViewController : UIViewController <AVAudioPlayerDelegate, UITabBarDelegate> {

}

then i understand that i have to add

tabBar.delegate = self; 

for me to be able to detect the tabBar:didSelectItem:

so i can then implement something like this

- (void)tabBarController:(UITabBarController *)tabBarController didSelectViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController {

if ([viewController.tabBarItem.title isEqualToString:@"FIRST"])
{
     NSLog(@"FIRST");
} else if ([viewController.tabBarItem.title isEqualToString:@"SECOND"])
   {
       NSLog(@"SECOND");
   }
 }

to be able to switch between the views

The thing is as ive said before i dont know how to implement all of this and how to connect everything up. can someone help me please. Thank you in advance
