iPad: UISplitViewController with iAds AdBanner in Detail View - Sizing - uisplitviewcontroller

When in landscape mode, the UISplitViewController displays the detail and master views.
The detail view has an AdBanner in it. However, when we set the AdBanner's CurrentContentSizeIdentifier to SizeIdentifierLandscape the banner is too wide for the detail view.
How can we put AdBanners in the Detail view of a UISplitViewController?

If a banner with ADBannerContentSizeIdentifierPortrait fits, you could use that.
Or you could put the ad banner view on top of the UISplitViewController's view in the UIWindow and construct your sub-controllers in such a way that it looks right with the ad banner overlapped, although that may give you other problems when it comes to orientation updates.
Or you could try adding the ad banner as a subview of the UISplitViewController's view, and possibly also adjust the positions of its other subviews to try to get things to not overlap, but this may or may not be allowed if you want your app approved for the app store.
Otherwise you're just out of luck.

How to navigate to a new Screen when using SideBarController in Xamarin.iOS

I have an application with a lot of screens, let say HomePage, Section Screen and Detail Page, Category Screen.
I use a NavigationController to Navigate from HomePage to Section Screen.
In the SectionScreen I have used a SideBarController component (https://components.xamarin.com/view/sidebarnavigation) to implement a navigation drawer or a flyout menu.
The problem is how to navigate from Section Screen to Detail Page or to Category Screen. I need to make this kind of navigation from MenuController or ContentController.
I don't want to just change the contentView. I want to push another UIViewController.
I have used the usual one:
this.NavigationController.PushViewController( new UIViewControllerExample(), true);
but there are some problems:
In the details page I can't access the NavigationBar
When I press back, the app crashes with an error:
Cant add self to subview
This is how to it should look like.
This is the problem. The first image display what happen when i use the above code,
Any idea how to solve this.
as you can find in that page of component you should use SidebarController as your navigationcontroller
SidebarController.ChangeContentView(new OtherContentController());

UITabBarController in UISplitViewController with Storyboard

I have UISplitViewController with UITabBarController as its master. UITabBarController contains one UINavigationController with UITableViewController as its root (it is main menu of my app).
After tapping on any cell in main menu, in UISplitViewController's detail part another UITableViewController should be presented (let's call it detail view).
In landscape mode everything works OK.
But in portrait, whet I tap on cell in main menu, the detail view is presented modally, and not pushed, like it supposed to. Also, when rotating from landscape to portrait, the main menu is presented instead of detail view, and after I click on main menu's position to show detail view, it is presented modally with no possibility to rotate or to go back.
Removing UITabBarController and setting UINavigationController as UISplitViewController's master works as I want (in landscape mode we have menu|detail views side by side and in portrait mode controllers behave like they were on regular UINavigationController). But then the UITabBarController is gone.
What I've tried:
every possible segue type - none of them works the way I want
subclassing UIStoryboardSegue to implement custom behavior depending on UISplitViewController's viewControllers param (in portrait mode it has only one view controller - master) - but I couldn't recognise classes (thank you Swift!)
What I want is to do it entirely in Storyboard (OK, custom segues doesn't count) - I want an elegant solution and I refuse to believe it's impossible.
Working on iOS 8 SDK, Xcode 6.2, iPhone 6 Plus
Unfortunately there is no absolutely elegant solution to this one (as far as I've managed to accomplish). Hoping that Apple will eventually sort it out, but in the meantime, this is the nicest way possible:
Place one custom segue instead of Show Detail
In perform method of your custom segue have something like:
- (void)perform
{
MasterViewController *source = self.sourceViewController;
AppDelegate *appDelegate = [UIApplication sharedApplication].delegate;
UISplitViewController *splitViewController = appDelegate.splitViewController;
if ([splitViewController.viewControllers count] > 1) {
[source performSegueWithIdentifier:#"showDetail" sender:source];
if (appDelegate.masterPopoverController) {
[appDelegate.masterPopoverController dismissPopoverAnimated:YES];
}
} else {
[source performSegueWithIdentifier:#"showDetailSmallDevice" sender:source];
}
}
[splitViewController.viewControllers count] is here just to separate large devices (iPads & iPhone 6 Plus) and the other, smaller ones
In your Storyboard, wire up one segue named showDetail which is actually a showDetail, to the detail navigation controller, and directly to the contents view controller another showDetailSmallDevice which is actually Show
(Push)
See the example:

EDIT: SplitViewController needs two Navigation Controllers. The solution is that you need to insert another Navigation Controller between the SplitViewController and the DatailViewController. Then, from the TableView, preform a Segue directly to the second Navigation Controller. The SplitViewControllers wants two Navigation Controllers...
Maybe a good way could be to start a new SplitViewController project on IB. There are various default methods and properties to manage a SplitViewController. You can find something in appDelegate class, it could be a good starting point.
OLD: I like Mateusz's answer, just a point that is possible to use self.splitViewController.isCollapsed for testing if DetailViewController is or it could be shown on screen. With this property there is no need to count viewControllers.
#property(nonatomic, readonly, getter=isCollapsed) BOOL collapsed
From documentation: A Boolean value indicating whether only one of the child view controllers is displayed. This property is set to YES when the split view controller content is semantically collapsed into a single container. Collapsing happens when the split view controller transitions from a horizontally regular to a horizontally compact environment. After it has been collapsed, the split view controller reports having only one child view controller in its viewControllers property.

Not able to drag scrollview object in interface builder

I'm using XCode 4.6 and interface builder. I've got a UIViewController in interface builder, and a UIScrollView on top within the UIViewController. The scroll view completely spans the view controller (actually, it's taller than the view controller, it has height that is below the bottom of the view controller). This has been working for sometime, but I just ran into a problem. Somehow, I can no longer grasp the scroll view to drag it and reposition it. I click on the scroll view in IB or within the outline but the "hand" icon will not appear to enable movement and repositioning of the scroll view. Ideas?
I'd really rather not re-create all the detailed views within the scroll view. Perhaps this is why some people have a negative attitude about IB? Loosing work because of silly problems that stop you dead.
Thanks,
Chris.
I think I've solved this now. I believe there was supposed to be three layers: (from top to bottom; top towards user) scroll view, view (), and view controller. Somehow I lost the view in the middle () and this was not letting me resize the scroll view.

UINavigationController with UITableView in modal popup (on iPad)

Short Version:
"How do you get a simple UITable drill down UINavigationController-styled non-full-screen modal dialog on the iPad?"
Long version:
I have a very specific set of requirements that I can't seem to get working...
I have a functioning iPad program that that needs to pop up a non-full-screen modal view. This modal needs to have a navigation controller and a simple drill-down table that displays a detailed view that I can have edit some values related to the selected item in the table.
Of course I am looking to have the regular "Back" and "Delete" buttons in the Navigation Bar.
I can handle the detailed view, what I am having issues with:
Non-full-screen popup (mine is
always full screen no matter what I
try).
The Navigation controller will not display the Table View I tell it to and the navigation bar does not even have the title I assigned to it in IB.
I can't seem to get any of this working. If anyone has a step by step example of how to do this, that would be great,
~Eric
P.S. I am not afraid of doing this 100% programmatically, but all the examples I have been trying to follow (and failing at extending to my problem) use IB.
As for the fullscreen issue, you need to set modalPresentationStyle to UIModalPresentationFormSheet or UIModalPresentationPageSheet on the controller you want to present modally. I'm not sure of a way to do this through IB.
As for your navigation controller/table view, I think more information is needed to provide an answer.

Navigation issue in Flex - ViewStack, states or something else?

I have a bit of doubt regarding my application which is being created using Mate framework. The first thing user has to do is to log in, so I created Login.mxml view. After a successful login I need to display the main view with applicationControlBar at the top and a workspace below. At the moment I have two separate views, so if I understand correctly it makes sense using ViewStack.
Thing is, I'd like also to display some kind of panel with buttons on top of the workspace after login - here is screenshot. After clicking on a button the panel should dissapear. To complicate things a little bit more, there is a possibility for this panel to change state. Clicking on a specific button may result in showing progress bar at the bottom of panel.
I feel I should create separate view, MenuDialog.mxml and put there buttons, progress bar and states, but how to display it on the top of the workspace? I hope my problem is clear enough :)
I would make the panel a popUp, with the main application (or the ViewStack's parent container) as the parent of the popUp. You can use the PopUpManager Class to close it based on user actions within the Panel.
Assuming that perhaps you do not want a modal login style panel (which many apps these days eschew) then you should absolutely use states rather than ViewStacks.
States are a much cleaner way to distinguish the various, uh, states that your UI can be in -LOGGED_IN, LOGGED_OUT, etc.
It may take a little to get used to working with states, but once you do, you'll never go back. :-)
