UI for iOS has been discontinued. Please refer to this page for more information.
The TKTabView class allows developers to create user interfaces similar to the tab view of UITabBarController. On top of that, the tabs of TKTabView
can be positioned on all four sides of the parent view (typically of the main view).
Navigation between the different tabs can be done either by tapping on the individual tabs or swiping over the current tab content to display the tab adjacent to it.
TKTabView provides two tab layouts out of the box. These tab view layouts determine how many tabs can be shown in TKTabView and what happens to the tabs
layout if the tabs are more or less than the number specified for maximum tabs. The two layouts are called TKTabOveflowLayout and TKTabScrollLayout.
TKTabOverflowLayout displays a "show more" button next to the last tab when the tabs exceed the maximum number of tabs. When the user taps on the
"show more" button the layout display a small popup that contains the rest of the tabs.
TKTabScrollLayout displays the tabs inside a scroll view and allows scrolling when the tabs exceed the maximum number of tabs.
For all layouts, developers can set the tabs alignment if the tabs are less than max tabs. The alignment can be left, right, center and stretch.
By default the tabs are stretched to fill the available tab view area.
Finally developers can listen for tab view events by setting a delegate. The delegate is notified before and after a tab is selected or deselected.
Before a tab is selected or deselected the callback allows the developer to cancel the selection/deselection. A tab can either be selected with a tap
gesture or through code by setting the selectedTab property. If the selectedTab property is set to nil, the first tab will be selected since the tab view must have
a tab selected at all times.
The delegate is also notified when the tab view needs the content view of a tab. This happens only if a tab without a content view is added initially.
This lazy loading of the content view helps when the tab view contains content that loads slowly because of network requests or some other
time-consuming operation.
