Question

I created two nib files for the iPhone and iPad, so my app will be universal.

I use this method to check if it is an iPad:

if (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad)

but I don’t know how to load the proper nib when it knows which it is.

Does anyone know the correct method to load to nib file, accordingly?

Answer 1

Your interface files should be named differently so something like this should work.

UIViewController *someViewController = nil;
if (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad)
{
    someViewController = [[UIViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"SomeView_iPad" bundle:nil];
}
else
{
    someViewController = [[UIViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"SomeView" bundle:nil];
}
