IOS 5 hides text labels tabBarItem

Question

Is it possible to hide text labels in tabBarItem ?

My text labels are part of the images that I use as a replacement because they have some bevels / shadows that I cannot replicate in the code.

Answer 1

As far as I know, in the view manager associated with the tab, you can set:

 self.title=@ ""; 

But in the case of the UINavigationController this also sets the navigation bar title to @"" , so you must override the titleView navigation bar.

Answer 2

You can simply leave the text field blank. For instance:

 -(void)setBlankTitleForTabBarItem:(UITabBarItem*)Item{ [Item setTitle:nil]; }
