I am working with developing an iPad application. In that i have to display two table views and one web view in a single view. UISplitViewController allows to add two controller only. Please any one help me.
UISplitViewController cannot be configured to use more than 2 sections. If you want to have this functionality in a view controller, you have to write your own. Matt Gemmell's open-source MGSplitViewController might be a good place to start your coding.
Of course, you can also just add the three views as subviews to a plain UIViewController subclass.

I have search for this question but I have found nothing, so I hope the question is not duplicated.
I have a full working iPhone app. On this app, I have two view controllers like this:
Favourites is controlled by IVFavouritesViewController and Verb list is controlled by IVFirstViewController. I want to do the same thing on a single iPad view controller, something like this:
As you can see, I have two table views, also with a UISearchBar like on the iPhone storyboard. So I want to use the iPhone viewControllers on the same view on iPad, by changing them as few as possible. What will be the best approach?
Thanks in advance!!
Well you could make a third View controller that acts like a container for the other two. It would just have two subviews which are populated with the views from your two existing controllers.
How do I get a ViewController for a extra view integrated into the projects main View?
I want 1 extra UIView in my apps main UIWindow.
How do I get a viewController for the extra UIView?
I want to execute code to it.
Thanks!
I know Im asking alot of similar questions, but im trying different ways of approaching a design.
Thanks!
Use ModalViewControllers, TabBarViewController, UINavigationController.
Definitely study the View Controller Programming Guide and View Programming Guide. These two guides will tell you how to present different screens and when to use View Controllers and Views.
I have created an application successfully and given it a TabBar view controller that is working as i had hoped, but have run into a glitch.
On each xib i load from the tabBar I need to create sub-views that will perform tasks as this interacts with a database (or .. will). I have created my first page and the buttons that will navigate to the views within the XIB, but do not yet nkow how to navigate between views within the XIB itself.
would it be better to have seperate XIB's that load when the buttons are hit?
OR
should i create views within the XIB's for each category and switch between them?
I am still learning and have had some confusion regarding navigation as I already have the TabBar controlling the root of the application. I have been looking for tutorials, but they all seem to start at either navigation controller as the root, TabBar as the root, and nothing like I need for option 1 above.
I can add details of the app if needed, but am looking for guidance for now.
Thank you,

To navigate between views the best way is to use a navigation controller pushing/popping separate view controllers, loaded from separate nibs. UINavigationController is a subclass of UIViewController, so you can perfectly put a navigation controller for each tab. You can also use story-boarding in the new xcode 4.2, but I recommend getting comfortable with this before doing so.
I used the following tutorial Red Artisan to create a UISegmentedControl which I use to switch between two views: a simple one and a table view.
Everything is fine when I create a new standalone project, but what I really want is to incorporate this functionality in another project with a UITabBarController as the rootController (the segmented control with two views will be inside the second tab).
In the above tutorial the segmented control, navigation and segment controllers are instantiated and configured from within the application delegate.
Any idea how this could be done from a lower level?
Thank you in advance!
Basically, you need to create a UITTabBarController based application (There are LOTs of tutorials on how to do this), and then in the second UIViewController (or a custom subclass), you would create your UISegmentedControl to switch between two pages.
It sounds like you might also be using a UINavigationController as your base controller in the first application, if this is so..you could have a UITabBarController that has two Controllers in it (two tabs), and the second one will be a UINavigationController like how you had it setup in the app delegate.
Also, there are tutorials to do basically this exact thing all over the internet. Try searching for " UINavigationController inside UITabBarController " or similar. One other thing, there is an example of how the "layering" works in the Apple UI documentation for having a UINavigationController be one of the tabs of a UITabBarController (This is a quite common approach for iPhone apps)
Good luck!
In my app I would like to replace the TabBar with a ToolBar under certain conditions, similar to what happens in the Photos App when a user places it in selections mode (A toolbar with share copy, etc, buttons appear over the tab bar). How can I achieve this please?
This can be achieved by creating a new toolbar, assigning it an appropriate frame and adding it to self.tabBarController.view
I'm assuming your root view controller is a UITabBarController. Sometimes using the canned "Root" UIViewControllers is more of a hindrance than a help, especially if you want a highly custom look that does not fit into the paradigm of what the canned controllers offer. There's no reason you have to use them -- you could write your own, and do your own transition between your sub-UIViewController views onto the screen. You can use the UITabBar without the UITabBarController in your own custom UIViewController subclass, then you don't end up fighting the behavior of UITabBarController. Writing your own root ViewController can be very instructive as well -- you learn about all the things a root ViewController must do to manage the sub-ViewControllers.
