I have a SegmentedControl at the bottom of my EventsMasterViewController, but I also need it to be on the EventsDetailViewController.

The MasterViewController has a TableView that I use to list events, and the SegmentedControl acts as a “filter”. However, clicking on an event needs to bring up the Event Detail View, but I need to keep the SegmentedControl at the bottom for navigation.

What’s the best approach for this?

    UISegmentedControl is not meant to be used for “navigation”, filtering makes sense but why do you want to show these “filters” on the detail view where there is nothing to filter?

    If you need navigation use UITabBarController…

    If you need “filtering” use UISegmentedControl and add it to the bottom toolbar of your UINavigationController.

    You will need to create one UISegmentedControl for each UIViewController but again mind you that “filters” on detail view make no sense.

    UPDATE

    In my opinion you should implement UITabBarController as the root controller to be used for your navigation. Then use UINavigationController + UIViewController for your master/detail views. And use one UISegmentedControl in your master controller to modify the table view output.
