Question

I’m using MGSplitViewController for my iPad application.

I have added a viewController to it’s detailViewController this way:

my2ndVC *vc = [[my2ndVC alloc] init];
splitViewController.detailViewController = vc;

It works perfect, now when I’m adding a navigationBar to my2ndVC

UINavigationBar *navBar = [[UINavigationBar alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 448, 44)];

[self.view addSubview:navBar];

The bar isn’t showing up.

I know I can add my2ndVC like this:

my2ndVC *vc = [[my2ndVC alloc] init]; 
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:vc];
splitViewController.detailViewController = navController;

But then I also have a condition in one of my view controller:

if ([splitViewController.detailViewController isKindOfClass:[my2ndVC class]])

What would be the suggested workaround?

Answer 1

Cant you change your condition as follows:

if ([splitViewController.detailViewController.topViewController isKindOfClass:[my2ndVC class]])

To Make it simpler :

UINavigationController *aNavigationController = (UINavigationController *)splitViewController.detailViewController;
if ([aNavigationController.topViewController isKindOfClass:[my2ndVC class]]) {
    // TRUE...
}
