UIViewController as a root #9

Closed MrZoidberg closed 9 years ago

Hi,

I'd like to use the following app controllers architecture: Window -> UIViewController -> UITabBarController -> IntelligentSplitViewController. When implement it the master view is not showing with any rotation. Is it possible to fix it?

grgcombs commented 13 years ago

Do you have a navigation controller in the hierarchy anywhere? If not, how are you presenting the tab bar controller?

Does your uiviewcontroller return 'yes' to all orientations in the shouldRotate... method?

I have 2 navigation controllers as a root of master and detail views. I'm presenting the tab bar controller with the following code: [_rootViewController.view addSubview:_tabBarController.view];. _rootViewController is a general view controller that is root view of the app and it returns 'yes' to all orientations.

I think that's your trouble ... that's definitely a bad idea. That tab bar view already has a view controller and your root view controller is trying to steal it out from under it.

What you want to do is just add a UITabBar to your root UIViewController, then handle the switching yourself. You could even use something like CHViewControllerSwitcher as a superclass for your root view controller, I believe, that way you can offload a lot of the boiler plate view switching to something else.

However, iOS 5 does this switching built-in, if you code your class right, so I don't know how forward compatible CHViewControllerSwitcher would be.

Thanks, I'll try to use CHViewControllerSwitcher. In fact, all I wanted to do is to place another view under split view controller. I haven't found another almost working solution than yours...
