How to add an additional row of tab items to tab bar?

I am trying to add a second row of tab bar items to my tab bar when clicking the more button. By default the more button brings up a list of more items however i want it to be 2 rows of 5 items stacked directly ontop of each other.

As far as I know you can't have another 'tab bar' stacked on another.

I'd suggest initializing a view on top of the current view controller that looks like a tab bar if that's what you're after.

You'd have to create a custom View and then set it hidden/unhidden when pressing the more button.

Thank you Jack,

That is actually the route I ended up taking. I actually ended up using 2 custom Views instead of the tab bar so I could animate the initial View to move up and have the 2nd View become visible underneath it when the More button is pressed.

Thank you for your reply.
