Replacing UISplitViewController. New version isn't added for current orientation, frame size
- by Justin Williams
My application has two different modes I am switching between by replacing the two views in a UISplitViewController. This involves instantiating the new views and a new UISplitViewController. I then set the new detail view as the UISplitViewController's delegate.
I'm running into an issue where when I replace the view controllers and splitview controller, they are not properly sized or added for the current orientation. For instance, if I have my iPad in UIDeviceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown the view will be upside down when I call addSubview, but will rotate to the proper orientation after a second. In another instance, if I have the device in landscape mode and swap the views, the detail view controller is not fully stretched to the size of the view. If I rotate the device to portrait and back to landscape, its resized properly.
The code I'm using to create the new split view and view controllers is as follows.
- (void)showNotes {
teiphoneAppDelegate *appDelegate = (teiphoneAppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
[appDelegate.splitViewController.view removeFromSuperview];
OMSavedScrapsController *notesViewController = [[OMSavedScrapsController alloc] initWithNibName:@"SavedScraps" bundle:nil];
UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:notesViewController];
ComposeViewController *noteDetailViewController = [[ComposeViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"ComposeView-iPad" bundle:nil];
UISplitViewController *newSplitVC = [[UISplitViewController alloc] init];
newSplitVC.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:navController, noteDetailViewController, nil];
newSplitVC.delegate = noteDetailViewController;
appDelegate.splitViewController = newSplitVC;
// Fade in the new split view
appDelegate.splitViewController.view.alpha = 0.0f;
[appDelegate.window addSubview:appDelegate.splitViewController.view];
[appDelegate.window makeKeyAndVisible];
[UIView beginAnimations:nil context:appDelegate.window];
[UIView setAnimationDuration: 0.5f];
[UIView setAnimationCurve: UIViewAnimationCurveEaseInOut];
appDelegate.splitViewController.view.alpha = 1.0f;
[UIView commitAnimations];
[notesViewController release];
[navController release];
[noteDetailViewController release];
[newSplitVC release];
}
Any suggestions for how to get the new splitview to add for the device's current orientation and frame?
