How to hide parent tabbar when pushing controller in navigationController

Question

I have an application with a tab bar controller and each view contains a navigation controller. My MainWindow looks as follows: Image here http://www.freeimagehosting.net/image.php?7bc867a594.png

Everything works fine as it is but I noticed a problem when pushing a details view to the navigation controller. In the didSelectRowAtIndexPath for a tableviewcontroller that belongs to the tab bar controller (the one called Latest in the image) I am doing this:

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    ArticleViewController *articleController = [[ArticleViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"ArticleView" bundle:nil];

    [self.navigationController pushViewController:articleController animated:YES];

    [articleController release];
    articleController = nil;
}

The ArticleViewController has its own tabbar because it needs to display different things. The problem is that when I push the ArticleViewController into the navigationController I see both tabbars at the bottom of the view. Is there any way I can solve this problem?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

After spending hours and posting a question here I found that the solution to this problem is adding the following line after the instantiation of ArticleController.

articleController.hidesBottomBarWhenPushed = YES;
