Setting SelectedIndex on tabBarController in viewDidLoad does not work

I am having an issue trying to set the current tab for the tabBarController in which I have two views nested. When the application starts, I want to change the default tab being displayed. As a result, I am doing this out of viewDidLoad of one of the nested viewcontrollers. I can disable the tabBarController by:

 self.tabBarController.tabBar.userInteractionEnabled = NO;

and the tabBarController has an address (it exists).

I have tried a few different variations of changing the tab including:

self.tabBarController.selectedIndex = 1;

and

[self.tabBarController setSelectedIndex:1];

however neither seem to work. They work, however, when I invoke these functions through IB actions.

This is being done out of one of the nested controllers. Maybe this has to be done out of somewhere else?

Use the selectedIndex property on the UITabBarController.

 controller.selectedIndex = tabBarButtonIndex;

or use

[controller setSelectedIndex:tabBarButtonIndex];

hope this helps

Make sure you're calling [super viewDidLoad] first

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    [self.tabBarController setSelectedIndex:1];
}
