iPad Application Development For Dummies, 3rd Edition

Changing the Split View Controller to a Detail View Controller Relationship

At this point, since it really doesn’t do anything, you can delete the RTDetail ViewController object from the storyboard (but be sure not to delete the class files in the Project navigator). You’ll replace the relationship between the Split View controller and the RTDetailView controller with one to the Weather controller. I chose Weather controller arbitrarily here — you could just as easily have replaced it with any of the other view controllers. This is the Detail View the user will see when the application is launched.

1. In the Document Outline, select the Navigation controller associated with the Detail View controller (see Figure 14-12) and press Delete.

2. Select the Detail View controller in the Document Outline (see Figure 14-13) and press Delete as well.

You’ll need to create a new relationship between the Split View controller and the Weather controller.

3. Select the Split View controller on the storyboard, Control-drag to the Weather controller and then select Relationship – Detail View Controller from the pop-up menu that appears (as I have in Figure 14-14).

The final result of what has been added to the storyboard so far should look like Figure 14-15. I’ve rearranged things a bit for the sake of clarity.
