I have setup a UITabBarController with two tabs, one is a simple UIViewController and the other is a UINavigationController using second UIViewController as its rootController to set up a UITableView. My question is with regard to naming the tabs (i.e. UITabBarItem)

For the first tab (simple UIViewController) I have added the following (see below) to the controllers -init method.

- (id)init {
    self = [super init];
    if(self) {
        UITabBarItem *tabBarItem = [self tabBarItem];
        [tabBarItem setTitle:@"ONE"];
    }
    return self;
}

For the other tab I have added (see below) to the second controllers init (rootController).

- (id)init {
    self = [super init];
    if(self) {
        UITabBarItem *tabBarItem = [[self navigationController] tabBarItem];
        [tabBarItem setTitle:@"TWO"];
    }
    return self;
}

Am I setting the second tabBarItem title in the right place as currently it is not showing?

EDIT:

I can correctly set the UITabBarItem from within the AppDelegate when I first create the controllers, ready for adding to the UITabBarController. But I really wanted to do this in the individual controller -init methods for neatness.

// UITabBarController
UITabBarController *tempRoot = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];
[self setRootController:tempRoot];
[tempRoot release];
NSMutableArray *tabBarControllers = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];

// UIViewController ONE
MapController *mapController = [[MapController alloc] init];
[tabBarControllers addObject:mapController];
[mapController release];

// UITableView TWO
TableController *rootTableController = [[TableController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *tempNavController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:rootTableController];
[rootTableController release];
[tabBarControllers addObject:tempNavController];
[tempNavController release];

[rootController setViewControllers:tabBarControllers];
[tabBarControllers release];

[window addSubview:[rootController view]];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
