Question

I’m Monotouch for iOS development.
I’ve got a SplitView for iPad and the main view controller is UITabBar with UINavigation inside and UITableView nested in it. Thats a quite complicated controllers chain. And I need to handle row click event in TableView and return it back up to UISplitView to make an appropriate action on DetailView controller.
Is it a good design to define an event in each controller in the controllers chain and transit the event from the very end to the very begining calling the intermediate events?

Answer 1

I would recommend to keep things simple. Usually the splitViewController is a property of the AppDelegate (if not, you can just add one). So you can access the splitViewController from anywhere in your app by calling

[[[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate] splitViewController] anyMethodYouWantToCallOnTheSplitVC];
