Question

I want to use this ECSlidingViewController in my project. Example app from link uses storyboards, but i want to load all from xibs.
What i must implement in application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: to do this?

Code from example app:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
  ECSlidingViewController *slidingViewController = (ECSlidingViewController *)self.window.rootViewController;
  UIStoryboard *storyboard;

  if (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone) {
    storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"iPhone" bundle:nil];
  } else if (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad) {
    storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"iPad" bundle:nil];
  }

  slidingViewController.topViewController = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"FirstTop"];

  return YES;
}

Answer 1

Instead of using storyboards to get an instance of the UIViewController, you can instantiate it from a nib:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
  ECSlidingViewController *slidingViewController = [[ECSlidingViewController alloc] init];

  FirstTopViewController *firstTop = [[FirstTopViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"FirstTop" bundle:nil];
  slidingViewController.topViewController = firstTop;

  self.window.rootViewController = slidingViewController

  return YES;
}
