Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use a custom view for the stretchable header?

A: Yes, you can set any custom view as the header view by assigning it to the headerView property of the stretchableHeaderTabVC instance.

Q: How can I respond to tab switching events?

A: You can implement the AXStretchableHeaderTabViewControllerDelegate protocol and set the delegate of the stretchableHeaderTabVC instance to receive tab switching events. The didSwitchToViewController(_:) method will be called when the user switches between tabs.

Q: Can I add more tabs dynamically at runtime?

A: Yes, you can add or remove tabs dynamically by modifying the viewControllers array of the stretchableHeaderTabVC instance.
