UITableViewController init method not called

Question

I've created an iPad application with a UITableViewController in the UISplitViewController (and everything works :) Since I'd like the table to use UITableViewStyleGrouped, i added:

- (id)init
{
    self = [super initWithStyle:UITableViewStyleGrouped];
    if (self != nil) {
        // Initialisation code
    }
    return self;
}

to the root view controller & included it in the .h, but it's never getting called. So, two questions, can I set UITableViewStyleGrouped for a table in a UISplitViewController? And, if so, how?

Answer 1

init won't be called, initWithStyle: or initWithFrame:style: might be called.
