Unfortunately, I am still using Xcode 3 for many reasons. This will be one more I add to the list. Once they force us to upgrade, I’ll probably spend more time figuring it out, but for now I am still on 3.2.6 to maintain sanity. I love the potential of Xcode 4, but I don’t find it consistent enough to get real work done yet.

Thanks for this tutorial – I’ve just spent the last hour trying to get a nav controller on the right hand side using the template and have had no luck. However, it seems that it is xCode 4 stopping me from doing this. I’m not sure why but I cannot drag a nav controller into the split view controller, nor can I delete either of the existing view controllers and replace them. It just doesn’t let you…..

So I’ve had to use your sample project to get this. Any ideas how to get around this – have you noticed the same in xCode 4?

Thanks again.

Best wishes,

Gareth.

I created a universal App in which my iPhone portion has tabbar controller as root and then navigationcontroller in side…

now, i want to use the same views for ipad version and i am thinking of it this way use the splitview controller instead of tabbar controller when ipad, that is convert tabbar to splitview.. and navigation controller in detailview is working fine..

but the problem is with the splitview controller, i want that for each item in rootview of splitview controller there exist a view that should load in the detailview side.. stuck and confused, please help me out….

otherwise let me know of any useful article which expains how should we port out tabbar iphone apps to ipad paradigm thanx in advance

When I use the view using the SplitViewController without the RootViewController, it works well.

Any idea, how can I fix that?

Thanks…

UINavigationController * a is null after second line. Do you know why? I checked the delegates and other links in IB a few times.

We are two people here who actually see your comments and could attempt an answer, but I would suggest you go ask your question at Stack Overflow (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/iphone). Just make sure you give your question the ‘iPhone’ tag and you will have many more people see your question who will be able to help you.

I have a series of root view controllers each row of which would invoke different detail view controllers. I would be nice to have a nav button on the detail view controller that would take the user up the stack to the appropriate root view controller.

In simple form it looks like this:

First Root View Controller is a list of commercial properties Each row of the First Root View Controller invokes a Property Detail View

(but the is more detail about each commercial property, so I need more root view controllers that can be invoked by touching a button in the nav bar of the Property Detail View)

Second Root View Controller contains rows of More Property Info such as a row for Tenants, a row for Revenues, a row for Expenses, etc. Each row of the Second Root View Controller invokes an appropriate detail view: Tenants List Detail View, Revenues Detail View, Expenses Detail View, etc.

(in some cases, like in Tenants List Detail View, there would have to be an entirely new Third Root View Controller)

Okay, I’ve already made this more complicated and lengthy than I should have, but I hope that it makes enough sense for you to reply, or more simply I could send you the PDF file with my mockups to make the problem more clear. Thanks in advance.

I’m not sure what you mean exactly. In the sample app, if you drill down into a new view controller while in portrait, you have to tap the back button that shows up in the nav controller to get back to the list of items. Of course, you could pass the bar button item along to each view controller you push onto the navigation stack and just load it into the nav bar in each -viewDidLoad. In that case, though, you also need to set each subsequent view controller as the delegate for the split view controller or you won’t receive the split view controller delegate callbacks and be able to respond properly.

Actually what i want is to launch app with a login page and after login. I need SplitViewController.

Please help…

What’s the best way to show both the popover button, and also the back button?

Also, philippec is right about setting the RootViewController’s detailViewController outlet. Without that comment I would have been scratching my head for a while!

Also, there’s a typo: “NewViewContrller.h”…
