    <p>There is one issue that I've been struggling with and I can't seem to get enough information about it on the web. It has to do with the Apple multitasking and the Tab bar view. I want to control which tab will be selected when the application is entering foreground or becoming active. At the moment every time I will close the app and re-open it, it will open the last UIView that was displaying on the tab bar. How can I control that? </p> <p>Firstly, I want to be able to display a preview image with the app logo every time the application becomes active. Here is the code I'm using for that but I keep getting EXC_BAD_ACCESS when the app is entering foreground for this line: [window addSubview:self.preMiniView]:</p> <pre><code> - (void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application { if (!self.preMiniView) { self.preMiniView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:window.frame]; self.preMiniView.frame = CGRectMake(0,0,324,480); window.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:21.0/255.0 green:7.0/255.0 blue:2.0/255.0 alpha:1]; } UIImage *img = [UIImage imageNamed:@"preloadSm.jpg"]; self.preMiniView.image = img; [img release]; if (self.preMiniView.alpha == 0.0) { [self.preMiniView setAlpha:1.0]; } [window addSubview:self.preMiniView]; // adding the how to view to the view. [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:3 target:self selector:@selector(initApp:) userInfo:nil repeats:NO]; } - (void)applicationDidEnterBackground:(UIApplication *)application { [tabBarController.view endEditing:YES]; [tabBarController.view setAlpha:0.0]; [self.preMiniView release]; self.preMiniView = nil; NSLog(@"applicationDidEnterBackground iphone"); } - (void)initApp:(NSTimer *)timer { if (self.preMiniView) { [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:0.5 target:self selector:@selector(removePrev:) userInfo:nil repeats:NO]; [window insertSubview:tabBarController.view atIndex:0]; [tabBarController.view setAlpha:1.0]; [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL]; [UIView setAnimationDuration:.7]; [self.preMiniView setAlpha:0.0]; [UIView commitAnimations]; } } - (void)removePrev:(NSTimer *)timer { [self.preMiniView removeFromSuperview]; } </code></pre> <p>Secondly, I'm trying to present a pdf file with one of my UIViews when my app is hitting the method application:openURL:sourceApplication:annotation (used for opening a file from the email app). I get the correct file url but I'm not sure how to display the actual file in one of my custom UIView called PDFReaderViewController. It seems I can't just use this code on the AppDelegate:</p> <pre><code>pdfController = [[PDFReaderViewController alloc] init]; [pdfController initFromName:fileName]; [[self navigationController] pushViewController:pdfController animated:YES]; [pdfController release]; pdfController = nil; </code></pre> <p>I get a warning: receiver 'PDFReaderViewController' is a forward class and corresponding @interface may not exist</p> <p>Any idea how to display the new file using PDFReaderViewController from the AppDelegate?</p> <p>I must be missing something basic here .... thanks for your help!</p>
