UISplitView - load different detailView's for each row in masterView - iphone

Question

I'm using UISplitViewController for app on iPad. The first task was to show master and detail view in portrait mode. I have done this like that:
// It is possible to keep the Master View in portrait mode
// also. Just pass YES to this method to enable this mode.
- (id) initWithMasterInPortraitMode:(BOOL) masterInPortrait {
self = [super init];
self.keepMasterInPortraitMode = masterInPortrait;
return self;
}
// Thanks to http://intensedebate.com/profiles/fgrios for this code snippet
-(void) viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
NSLog(#"viewWillAppear");
if(keepMasterInPortraitMode == NO) {
return;
}
//check interface orientation at first view and adjust it
//if it is in portrait mode
if (self.interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait || self.interfaceOrientation == UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown) {
UIViewController* master = [self.viewControllers objectAtIndex:0];
UIViewController* detail = [self.viewControllers objectAtIndex:1];
[self setupPortraitMode:master detail:detail];
}
}
// Thanks to http://intensedebate.com/profiles/fgrios for this code snippet
- (void)setupPortraitMode:(UIViewController*)master detail:(UIViewController*)detail {
//adjust master view
CGRect f = master.view.frame;
f.size.width = 320;
f.size.height = 1024;
f.origin.x = 0;
f.origin.y = 0;
[master.view setFrame:f];
//adjust detail view
f = detail.view.frame;
f.size.width = 448;
f.size.height = 1024;
f.origin.x = 321;
f.origin.y = 0;
[detail.view setFrame:f];
}
I create splitView like this:
MySplitViewController *mySplitViewController = [[MySplitViewController alloc] initWithMasterInPortraitMode:YES];
Ok, that works ok and when I launch app in portrait mode it shows both master and detail view side by side.
Everything works for now. But I want to show a different view in detailView for each record (row) in master view.
My didSelectRowAtIndexPath method in masterView looks like that:
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
if (indexPath.row == 0) {
FirstDetailViewController *firstDetailView = [[FirstDetailViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"firstDetailView" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *firstDetailNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:firstDetailView];
[firstDetailView release];
[self.splitViewController setViewControllers:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:self.navigationController, firstDetailNavigationController, nil]];
}
else {
SecondDetailViewController *secondDetailView = [[SecondDetailViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"secondDetailView" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *secondDetailNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:secondDetailView];
[secondDetailView release];
[self.splitViewController setViewControllers:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:self.navigationController, secondDetailNavigationController, nil]];
}
}
After a click (touch) on first or second row (in masterView) splitView shows only detailView (whole screen) with no masterView.
How can I force splitView to show on change both views, master and detail view ???
Thanks for your help!

I have found the solution. In masterView I created splitViewController instance and assign local instance to that instance:
settingsSplitViewController = (SettingsSplitViewController *)self.splitViewController;
In method didSelectRowAtIndexPath I did this like that:
[settingsSplitViewController setupPortraitMode:self.navigationController detail:detailNavigationController];
Hope it will help someone else to solve this kind of problem.
