Programmatically switching between tabs within Swift

by

If your window rootViewController is UITabbarController(which is in most cases) then you can access tabbar in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions in the AppDelegate file.

func application(application: UIApplication!, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: NSDictionary!) -> Bool {
    // Override point for customization after application launch.

    if let tabBarController = self.window!.rootViewController as? UITabBarController {
        tabBarController.selectedIndex = 1
    }

    return true
}

This will open the tab with the index given (1) in selectedIndex.

If you do this in viewDidLoad of your firstViewController, you need to manage by flag or another way to keep track of the selected tab. The best place to do this in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions of your AppDelegate file or rootViewController custom class viewDidLoad.
