Hi,

 

I have a very simple app based on the SC template with a master and detail view.

 

It all works fine out of the box, when the SCTableViewController is the root view for the master pane.

 

However, when I introduce a UIViewController (Inside the navigation controller) as the root of the master pane, which then pushes the SCTableViewController, the SCTableViewController seems to have lost the sense of being in the master pane, and now pushes all the detail records into the master pane on top of itself.

 

I am using STV 4 lite.

 

Any ideas what I have done wrong?

 

thanks

karl

Hi Karl,

 

In the first scenario, STV was able to detect that it's the master controller in a UISplitViewController, and then automatically detect it's detail view controller based on that. Now that it's not the true master, you'll have to tell it about it's detail view controller since it can't figure that out on its own. The most convenient place to put that code is inside MasterViewController.m, and it should look something like this:

 

#import "AppDelegate.h"

@implementation MasterViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    
    UISplitViewController *splitViewController = (UISplitViewController *)[(AppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate] window].rootViewController;
    SCTableViewController *detailViewController = (SCTableViewController *)[splitViewController.viewControllers lastObject];
    self.tableViewModel.detailViewController = detailViewController;
}

@end

 

Please let me know if this works for you.

Thank you Tarek,

 

I have amended the code you suggest to the following Swift code:

 

        let myAppDelegate = UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate as! AppDelegate
        let mySplitViewController = myAppDelegate.window!.rootViewController! as! UISplitViewController
      
        self.tableViewModel.detailViewController = mySplitViewController.viewControllers.last as! UINavigationController

 

(The detail view of the split view contains a navigation controller with a root view controller)

 

I now keep getting the message:

 

'Pushing a navigation controller is not supported'

 

When I select a record from the tableview

 

Many thanks for your help

Ok, it looks like I have structured my storyboard incorrectly.

I think i have corrected it but now i get a an error:

 

'Storyboard (<UIStoryboard: 0x7febf0d3e260>) doesn't contain a view controller with identifier 'UIViewController-aly-VT-0lD'

 

When i try to create a new record.

I am not sure if this is something else i have introduced, or something that relates to STC.

 

thanks

u just have something in your storyboard that has been removed correctly when you changed things.. one of the properties still has a property that links or references UIViewController-aly-VT-0lD which isnt there

[Karl1348790294]

Ok, so I have tidied up my storyboard and got rid of the story reference.

 

I still have the error concerning pushing a navigation controller though.

 

thanks

im not a swift so i cant give you code

 

but you might want to read through the docset

 

detailViewController wants "The custom view controller. Must only be of type SCViewController or SCTableViewController."

 

not a navigation controller

This code get rid of my error, but I am back where i started with the detail being pushed over the master view controller:

        let myAppDelegate = UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate as! AppDelegate
        let mySplitViewController = myAppDelegate.window!.rootViewController! as! UISplitViewController
        let myDetailController = mySplitViewController.viewControllers.last?.rootViewController as? SCTableViewController

        self.tableViewModel.detailViewController = myDetailController

[ozie]

set a break point on this line

let myDetailController = mySplitViewController.viewControllers.last?.rootViewController as? SCTableViewController

and lets see what myDetailController is.. is it the class of the view you want as the detail or is it nil ?

[Karl1348790294]

ok,... it's nil

[ozie]

dont give up.. STV is great, but like anything in programming, its not 100% magic:)

 

If you upload your project, someone that likes swift might be able to help you more.. if it was objc i could

[Karl1348790294]

ok, will do

thanks

Hi Karl,

 

I've had a quick look at your project, and one thing I noticed is that you have a navigation controller before your detail view controller, which is great but my code did not account for that. You should update your code as follows:

 

let myAppDelegate = UIApplication.sharedApplication().delegate as! AppDelegate
let mySplitViewController = myAppDelegate.window!.rootViewController! as! UISplitViewController
let detailNavController = mySplitViewController.viewControllers.last as! UINavigationController
      
self.tableViewModel.detailViewController = detailNavController.topViewController as! SCTableViewController

 

Hope this helps.

Thank you Tarek,

I don't know quite what I was doing wrong, but that codes seems to have sorted my problem.

Many thanks!
Karl

You're most welcome, Karl.
