ViewChild doesn't work to me - upgrade to beta7

[jmbc]

Hi ,
I think you don’t need import IonicApp any more,
because Viewchild directive is a safer way to get a component.

If you start a new @beta7 project the tab page come like this:

and you can use selectedIndex as rapropos says,

and pass in the contructor

anyway this might be helpful too

Open Tab from Button (inside another Tab)

Alright guyz. This was the thing I was struggling for AGES. Let me clear up that for you. First you need to know how to get components from ionic. constructor( public app: IonicApp, ) { this.app = app; } ngAfterViewInit() { // Here 'my-content' is the ID of my ion-content this.content = this.app.getComponent('my-tab'); console.log("Yo we get the tab", this.content); } After you get the tab. You can all the glory functions --> Liike this.content.select(0);

cheers
