How can I replace a UIViewController with a UISplitView Controller?

Question

Mine is a normal viewcontroller application. When I click a button on this mainView, it adds a 2nd view(a different xib) as a subview to the mainView. I want this 2nd view to be replaced by a splitview. So it means I should replace the 2nd view controller with a UISplitViewController, isnt it?

Can I do that? Is it possible to add a splitviewcontroller's view like v add a viewcontroller's view?

Answer 1

You should be aware that, currently, the only official usage of UISplitViewController is as a root view controller of an application; Apple does not intend for it to be a child view controller. Apparently, this is due to bugs with handling rotation of the iPad, and may get fixed at a later date. So you should avoid adding a UISplitViewController's view as a subview to anything.
