How can I load a landscape xib using one ViewController file? - objective-c

Question

I have a universal app. I'm using separate xibs for the portrait and landscape views. I have the app detecting the orientation and changing the value of a BOOL to true when I'm in landscape. I want to know how to load my landscape xib when that BOOL is true. I've tried several different methods to achieve this, but nothing has worked. Any input on this matter would be most appreciated. I can update this post to include any code snippets necessary. Thanks in advance.
edit: I want to do all of this in one ViewController class, and only for the iPad... not the iPhone. I have all that part worked out. I just need to load the landscape xib.
edit: In my viewDidLoad I'm doing this:
if (userDevice.orientation == UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeLeft || userDevice.orientation == UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeRight) {
landscape = YES;
}
Here's my main view controller .m:
#implementation PassportAmericaViewController
#synthesize browseViewButton, webView, mainView, lblMemberName, menuOpen, internetActive, hostActive, isUsingiPad, portrait, landscape;
- (void)viewDidLoad {
menuOpen = NO;
UIDevice* userDevice = [UIDevice currentDevice];
if (userDevice.userInterfaceIdiom == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad) {
isUsingiPad = YES;
}
if (isUsingiPad)
if (userDevice.orientation == UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeLeft || userDevice.orientation == UIDeviceOrientationLandscapeRight) {
landscape = YES;
}
[self checkForKey];
[super viewDidLoad];
[self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:YES];
}
-(void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated{
[self.navigationController setNavigationBarHidden:YES];
}
-(void) checkForKey{
NSUserDefaults *defaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults];
int regCheck = [defaults integerForKey:#"registration"];
if (isUsingiPad) {
if (regCheck == 0) {
RegistrationViewController *regView = [[RegistrationViewController alloc]
initWithNibName:#"RegistrationView-iPad" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
regView.isUsingiPad = YES;
[self.navigationController pushViewController:regView animated:YES];
}else if (regCheck == 1) {
#try {
NSString *mbrFirstName = [defaults objectForKey:#"firstName"];
NSString *mbrLastName = [defaults objectForKey:#"lastName"];
NSMutableString *name = [[NSMutableString alloc] initWithString:mbrFirstName];
[name appendString:#" "];
[name appendString:mbrLastName];
lblMemberName.text = name;
}
#catch (NSException *exception) {
}
}
}else{
if (regCheck == 0) {
RegistrationViewController *regView = [[RegistrationViewController alloc]
initWithNibName:#"RegistrationView" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:regView animated:YES];
}else if (regCheck == 1) {

Edit
It looks like you need to do your work here
BOOL isLandscape = UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape([UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation);
NSString *nibName = isLandscape ? #"landscapeNibName" : #"portraitNibName";
RegistrationViewController *regView = [[RegistrationViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nibName bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
I'm not sure where you are getting stuck...
- (id)init;
{
BOOL isLandscape = UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape([UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation);
NSString *nibName = isLandscape ? #"landscapeNibName" : #"portraitNibName";
self = [super initWithNibName:nibName bundle:nil];
if (self) {
// any other init stuff
}
return self;
}
or if you prefer to name the nib when you instantiate
BOOL isLandscape = UIInterfaceOrientationIsLandscape([UIApplication sharedApplication].statusBarOrientation);
NSString *nibName = isLandscape ? #"landscapeNibName" : #"portraitNibName";
MyViewController *viewController = [[MyViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nibName bundle:nil];
