Tab bar Controller and Facebook Connect Issues Xcode 4.3 IOS 5.1 - objective-c

Question

I am trying to connect to the facebook and take the users name and picture, so far i can connect and fetch user name . i have a working code can be downloaded from here (single view application)
But if i put a tab bar controller to the code, it can not receive a response from facebook.
I add a tabbar controller programatically like below code
in app.m
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
// Regular Code
/*self.viewController = [[[ViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"ViewController" bundle:nil] autorelease];
self.window.rootViewController = self.viewController;
*/
//Tab bar controller code
self.window = [[[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]] autorelease];
UIViewController *viewController1 = [[[ViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"ViewController" bundle:nil] autorelease];
self.rootController = [[[UITabBarController alloc] init] autorelease];
self.rootController.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:viewController1, nil];
self.window.rootViewController = self.rootController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
return YES;
}
// This method will be used for iOS versions greater than 4.2.
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application openURL:(NSURL *)url sourceApplication:(NSString *)sourceApplication annotation:(id)annotation {
return [[_viewController facebook] handleOpenURL:url];
}
If i put a breaking point at line handleOpenurl In NSUrl there is this= fbAPPID://authorize/#access_token=BABABSbbsabsbabb
I guess access_token means i have succesfully loged in . So tab bar doesnt block me to login put blokcs my facebook methods in Viewcontroller.m
Without tab bar all methods in Viewcontroller.m works great when i add tab bar and breakpoints none of the facebook methods below works. I dont get any errors though.

I am confused how can i make this tab bar controlling working.

Answer 1

I have changed the design
Now Login view is displayed first then it continues to real app which has tab bar controller.
Issue was _viewcontroller facebook , when _viewcontroller has been called it was not returning any thing
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application openURL:(NSURL *)url sourceApplication:(NSString *)sourceApplication annotation:(id)annotation {
return [[_viewController facebook] handleOpenURL:url];
}
So I changed my code(especially _viewcontroller line) to below code
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
self.window = [[[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]] autorelease];
UIViewController * viewController1 = [[[VoteMe alloc] initWithNibName:#"VoteMe" bundle:nil] autorelease];
UIViewController *viewController2 = [[[PostController alloc] initWithNibName:#"PostController" bundle:nil] autorelease];
UIViewController *viewController3 = [[[FriendsController alloc] initWithNibName:#"FriendsController" bundle:nil] autorelease];
UIViewController *viewController4 = [[[Responses alloc] initWithNibName:#"Responses" bundle:nil] autorelease];
UIViewController *viewController5 = [[[User alloc] initWithNibName:#"User" bundle:nil] autorelease];
self.rootController = [[[UITabBarController alloc] init] autorelease];
self.rootController.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:viewController1,viewController2,viewController3,viewController4,viewController5, nil];
self.window.rootViewController = self.rootController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
loginView=[[ViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"ViewController" bundle:nil];
[self.window addSubview:loginView.view];
return YES;
}
// This method will be used for iOS versions greater than 4.2.
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application openURL:(NSURL *)url sourceApplication:(NSString *)sourceApplication annotation:(id)annotation {
return [[loginView facebook] handleOpenURL:url];
}
It works fine
