Question

I just want to change the title in my iPad split view application of the button that initiates the Popover in portrait mode (showing the master view). I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to reference this button. I started the application by creating a new project using the master detail application template (iOS 5 and storyboards) and most of the interface code began in the storyboard file. Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

Inside your detail view you’ll find a delegate method of your split view wich is for adding the new button in portrait mode (there are also similar methods wich are maybe used – but they all have the UIBarButtonItem* argument):

-(void)splitViewController:(UISplitViewController *)svc willHideViewController:(UIViewController *)aViewController withBarButtonItem:(UIBarButtonItem *)barButtonItem forPopoverController:(UIPopoverController *)pc
    {
        barButtonItem.title = @"Your custom title goes here";
        [self.navigationItem setLeftBarButtonItem:barButtonItem animated:YES];
        self.masterPopoverController = pc;
    }

And that’s it – you’re done.
