Mobile SDK iOS - SFNativeRestAppDelegate and UISplitViewController

Hi there,

 

In AppDelegate inherit from SFNativeRestAppDelegate

I am having problems returning a UISplitViewController in

 

- (UIViewController*)newRootViewController {

//    RootViewController *rootVC = [[RootViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];

//    UINavigationController *navVC = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:rootVC];

//    [rootVC release];

//    

//    return navVC;

 

    

    MasterViewController *masterViewController = [[[MasterViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"MasterViewController" bundle:nil] autorelease];

    UINavigationController *masterNavigationController = [[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:masterViewController] autorelease];

    

    DetailViewController *detailViewController = [[[DetailViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"DetailViewController" bundle:nil] autorelease];

    UINavigationController *detailNavigationController = [[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:detailViewController] autorelease];

    

    UISplitViewController* splitViewController = [[[UISplitViewControlleralloc] init] autorelease];

    splitViewController.delegate = detailViewController;

    splitViewController.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:masterNavigationController, detailNavigationController, nil];

 

    return splitViewController;

}

 

 

I get 

'Application tried to present a Split View Controllers modally

 

I know that iOS require the UISplitViewController to be the rootView, but using the SFNativeRestAppDelegate?

 

Thanks

You can just override setupNewRootViewController in AppDelegate to keep it from presenting the modal view controller:

 

/**
* Override the setupNewRootViewController from SFNativeRestAppDelegate because it presents a modal view by default, and
* we want to use a UISplitViewController (which can't be used in a modal view)
**/
- (void)setupNewRootViewController
{
    UIViewController *rootVC = [[self newRootViewController] autorelease];
    self.viewController = rootVC;
    self.window.rootViewController = rootVC;
}

Try this: It's a pre-configed project using the splitview and mobileSDK:

Ah, this is a bug.  SFNativeRestAppDelegate presents the root view controller modally, which is likely what's causing the problem.  I'll take a look.

Ah yes, thanks Tom.  And I don't believe that will have any adverse impact on the rest of the functionality of SFNativeRestAppDelegate.  You should be safe with such an override.

 

Cheers,
