Question

This is what I want to do but not sure if it could be done.

my first view contains 3 buttons.
When this view is displayed, I need to present a ModalPopup for the login.
When the authenfication is done, the user can tap on one of the 3 buttons.
When the button is taped, I need to switch this view to a TabBarController and active the correct TabBarItem regarding the button.
Most of the TabBarItems can contain a SplitViewController.

I read several posts and tutorial about the SplitViewController but most of them show how to run a splitViewController from the appDelegate controller.

Then my first question would be.. is it possible 🙂
The second one, would be, how?

Thanks…

Answer 1

Mortoc is correct about UISplitViewController needing to be the root controller.

You can use MGSplitViewController as a drop-in replacement for UISplitViewController – and it doesn’t have this limitation.

It sounds as if your hierarchy might be something like

UINavigationController (root)
  UIViewController (3 buttons)
  UITabBarController
    MGSplitViewController (1)
    MGSplitViewController (n)
