Navigate to a SplitViewController

Question

I\'ve been playing around with the iPad SDK looking for ways to improve my current iPhone app. I\'ve got a couple place where I think the new \"SplitView\" would look pretty

Answer 1

It should always be the root controller according to Apple.

The split view controller’s view should always be installed as the root view of your application window. You should never present a split view inside of a navigation or tab bar interface.

Answer 2

Check out the Multiple Detail Views sample app on Apple's Documentation, this could give you a good idea on how to deal with navigation structure and how to display views on the "splitViewController".

Answer 3

You can use a UISplitViewController in a UITabBarController without any problems. I have not attempted to push a UISplitViewController into an UINavigationController however.

Answer 4

(At least) with iOS 8 (which runs on any ipad except the first one) it's possible to use a "present modally"-segue to display a splitviewcontroller.

Drawback is that an existing navigation bar isn't displayed.
