Swift iOS : UITabBarController

类UITabBarController是一个特殊的UIViewController，它可以包含多个UIViewController，并且在页面底部显示一个Tabbar作为UIViewController的切换显示开关。

如下案例，展示了包含两个UIViewController的UITabBarController，可以通过底部的Tabbar来切换显示：

import UIKit
    class Page1: UIViewController {
        override func viewDidLoad() {
            super.viewDidLoad()
            let cc = UILabel(frame: CGRect(x: 10,y: 50,width: 200,height: 50))
            cc.text = "Page #1"
            cc.textColor = UIColor.black
            self.view.addSubview(cc)
        }
    }
    class Page2: UIViewController {
        override func viewDidLoad() {
            super.viewDidLoad()
            let cc = UILabel(frame: CGRect(x: 10,height: 50))
            cc.text = "Page #2"
            cc.textColor = UIColor.black
            self.view.addSubview(cc)
        }
    }
    class Tabbar: UITabBarController,UITabBarControllerDelegate {
        override func viewDidLoad() {
            super.viewDidLoad()
            delegate = self
        }
        
        override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
            viewControllers = [Page1(),Page2()]
            let r = UIImage.imageWithColor(UIColor.black)
            viewControllers![0].tabBarItem = UITabBarItem(title: "Page 1",image:r,tag:0)
            viewControllers![1].tabBarItem = UITabBarItem(title: "Page 2",image: r,tag:1)
    
        }
        
        //Delegate methods
        func tabBarController(_ tabBarController: UITabBarController,didSelect viewController: UIViewController) {
            print("did select viewController: \(viewController.tabBarItem.tag)")
        }
    }
    @UIApplicationMain
    class AppDelegate: UIResponder,UIApplicationDelegate {
        var window: UIWindow?
        func application(_ application: UIApplication,didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
            self.window = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.main.bounds)
            self.window!.rootViewController = Tabbar()
            self.window!.rootViewController!.view.backgroundColor = UIColor.white
            self.window?.makeKeyAndVisible()
            return true
        }
    }
    // same code
    extension UIImage {
        class func imageWithColor(_ color: UIColor) -> UIImage {
            let rect = CGRect(x: 0.0,y: 0.0,width: 10.0,height: 10.0 )
            UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(rect.size)
            let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()
            
            context?.setFillColor(color.cgColor)
            context?.fill(rect)
            
            let image = UIGraphicsGetimageFromCurrentimageContext()
            UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
            
            return image!
        }
    }
    //let r = UIImage.imageWithColor(UIColor.redColor()).imageWithRenderingMode(.AlwaysOriginal)
    //let b = UIImage.imageWithColor(UIColor.blueColor()).imageWithRenderingMode(.AlwaysOriginal)

本案例中，共有三个需要关注的类：

1. Page1，Page2。都是UIViewController的子类，内含一个UILabel区别显示为Page #1，Page #2

2. Tabbar 是UITabBarController的子类，实现协议UITabBarControllerDelegate，并在viewDidLoad时设置委托到自身；属性viewControllers是一个数组，用于装入多个UIViewController的实例，当执行：

   func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool)

   初始化此数组，创建需要选择的UIViewController实例进来。

Tabbar就是一个UIViewController的子类，因此可以把它设置到self.window!.rootViewController上，从而成为window的rootViewController。
