i m having a problem where there is a need to add a split view controller in my tabbar applicaion .i need to add a split view controller in my second tabbar item .is der any possibility to add a splitivew controller in my second tabbar .
To add a splitViewController programmatically you use something like this.
UISplitViewController *c = [[[UISplitViewController alloc] init] autorelease];
c.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:myVC1, myVC2, nil];
And to hide those navigationbars of those myVC1 and myVC2 you will have to use
myVC1.navigationController.navigationBarHidden = YES;
myVC2.navigationController.navigationBarHidden = YES;
Hope it helps ;)

I have worked mostly on iPhone apps. Now I need to build an iPad app. In that I need to put NavigationController in the MasterView of the Master Detail View of the iPad as we do in the UITableView in the iPhone. I mean when user selects a particular row it should navigate to another tableview with newly filled data. and user can go to the previous by pressing back button. Also On each selection I need to make change of image in the detail view.
I dont have any idea to achieve this.
Please provide any suggestions or any sample code for it.
Thanks in advance.
try this in your appDelegate didFinishLaunchingWithOptions method
MasterViewController *masterViewController = [[[MasterViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"MasterViewController_iPad" bundle:nil] autorelease];
UINavigationController *masterNavigationController = [[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:masterViewController] autorelease];
DetailViewController *detailViewController = [[[DetailViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"DetailViewController_iPad" bundle:nil] autorelease];
UINavigationController *detailNavigationController = [[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:detailViewController] autorelease];
self.splitViewController = [[[UISplitViewController alloc] init] autorelease];
self.splitViewController.delegate = detailViewController;
self.splitViewController.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:masterNavigationControlle, detailNavigationController, nil];
self.window.rootViewController = self.splitViewController;
[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
This is certainly possible. There are no limitations on what you can display in the master and detail views of a split view controller.
Think of the split view as merely a view that displays two of your view controllers. They can contain anything.
If I understood what you're trying to achieve correctly then what you want to do is create a View Controller with a UITableView which will display the data in the left column. This View Controller should also have a UINavigationController which will push another view controller when you select something in the table.
So far, so good. Nothing has changed in the detail view since it in reality isn't aware of or connected to the master view in any way. When the user has moved enough steps down in the master view, and you want to change the detail view - then you can set the viewControllers-property of the navigation controller to update the detail view with whichever view controller you want to display.
Yes you can. Apple has provided a sample code called MultipleDetailViews
It shows how communication is done between master and detail using delegation.

I have an app with navigation controller, but my app also has a simple separate view which is not a navigation controller part. And what I want to do is to add a brand new navigation controller to this view.
For my first navigation controller I used this code in my AppDelegate:
UINavigationController *navigationController = [[UINavigationController new] initWithRootViewController:viewController1];
navigationController.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObject:viewController1];
self.window.rootViewController = navigationController;
But which code I should use, if I want to create a new Navigation Controller ?
Thanks !
UPDATE:
So, I made some pictures:
One the first pic there is a navigation controller (which is declared in AppDelegate). And It contains an info button. Then, when we press the button we move to another view (pic 2). And its just a navigation bar in this view, not an navigation controller. I wanna add a navigation controller, not a navigation bar in this view, so users will be able to use UITableView easily
We would need to know a little more about your intended view hierarchy, and application flow. But in the code you're posting, I'm not sure what is going on. Why not just:
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:viewController1];
self.window.rootViewController = navController;
That said, you would create other UINavigationControllers exactly the same way.
Update:
When you press the info button on the first view, you could present the navigation controller modally I think.
- (IBAction)infoButtonAction:(id)sender;
{
// InfoTableViewController is the controller with Instructions, Contact, and something else
// my Russian isn't so good.
InfoTableViewController *tableController = [[InfoTableViewController alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStyleGrouped];
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:tableController];
navController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationFormSheet; // or whatever
[self presentModalViewController:navController animated:YES];
}
Note that I'm not dealing with memory management because I don't know if this is ARC or not. Is that how it should behave?
Imagine that we have multiview apllication which is controlled by Navigation Controller. We go from the first view to second by using pushViewController method and that's not a problem but then we need to move to the third view. And the third one is a view which looks like a TabBar. How do we do that? The third view is supposed to be controlled by TabBarController, isn't it?
So how to pass the control? I declared an outlet UITabBarController * tbc and connected it to TabBarController in xib file and then i tried this in viewDidLoad:
tbc = [[UITabBarController alloc]init];
and it shows nothing.
Your help is highly appreciated
It's a bit wierd. Its more standard to have a tabBarController that switches views and some of those views may be navigation controllers. But ...
Create the UITabBarController and push it.
NSMutableArray *viewControllers = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
// create someView
[viewControllers addObject:someView];
// create someView2
[viewControllers addObject:someView2];
UITabBarController *tabController = [[UITabBarController alloc] init];
[tabController setViewControllers:viewControllers];
[[self navigationController] pushViewController:tabController animated:YES];
Then, from the tabBarContoller view, based on some action, you can choose to pop it:
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated: NO];
You can wire it up in the storyboard editor in the latest version of Xcode.
However, since this is very much non-standard use of the controls, you would need a very good reason as to why you would want a UI like this.
And even then, Apple's review process might turn your app down if the interface is clunky.
For the navigation in my app I'm using a UITabBarController. This works fine, but in one of my viewcontrollers I want to push another view controller into the tabbar view.
In other words I want to replace the selected viewcontroller with another one.
I'm doing this with the following code:
self.tabBarController.selectedViewController = self.otherViewController;
The list of viewControllers in my TabBarController does not contain the otherViewController.
This trick works fine in IOS 4.3, but IOS 5 does not like it.
Does anyone know a solution which is accepted by IOS 5?
You want to REPLACE that view controller in the tabbar with another view Controller?
If so, you have to edit the viewControllers property in the tabbar by setting a new one. It would be something like:
UIViewController *thisIsTheViewControllerIWantToSetNow;
int indexForViewControllerYouWantToReplace;
NSMutableArray *tabbarViewControllers = [self.tabbar.viewControllers mutableCopy];
[tabbarViewControllers replaceObjectAtIndex:indexForViewControllerYouWantToReplace withObject:thisIsTheViewControllerIWantToSetNow];
self.tabbar.viewControllers = tabbarViewControllers;
[tabbarViewControllers release];
You can't just use a navigation controller or similar on this tab?
Anyway this should work:
NSMutableArray *controllers = [NSMutableArray arrayWithArray:rootTabBarController.viewControllers];
[controllers replaceObjectAtIndex:rootTabBarController.selectedIndex withObject: newController];
rootTabBarController.viewControllers = controllers;
I am building an app, which has TabBarController, and each tab view has navigation view controller. When user click tab, I'd like the relavent navigation view controller to "reset" to the root panel.
In my code, I uses the following way to initialize the tab and navigation controller.
viewController1 = [[MyFirstController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *tableNavController = [[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:viewController1] autorelease];
viewController2 = [[MySecondController alloc] init];
UINavigationController *table2NavController = [[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:viewController2] autorelease];
tabBarController.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:tableNavController, table2NavController, nil];
Then appears that all the tab and navigation controller is working automatically. I am not sure where to cut in to let navigation controller view to reset when it is selected.
Thanks.
The navigation controller is sent a viewWillAppear message by the system, so you can implement the method to do the resetting..
Another option would be to use the tab bar controller's selectedViewController method to retrieve the selected navigation controller..
Hope that helps..
