I tried to search on this website but I don't found what I want.
I'm developing my first iPad app with Xcode (iOS 7) and I'd like to put a list always displayed at the left and when clicking on some elements of the list the view controller has to changed.
Should I use a masterDetail ? Or something Else?
How can represent that in the storyboard?
Thanks
Picture here
Yes, use the master detail template. This will create for you a UISplitView with a list on the left and detail view on the right. You can then adjust the code to your needs.

An issue I have in XCode 5 seems to be resolved by the first answer to this question. However, that question has you take certain actions in a window entitled "Slope View Controller". Can anyone point me to the place in XCode 5's UI where I can access this window? I suspect that screen shot might be an older version and I need to be looking at something else, but I have no idea what.
SlopeViewController is nothing just name of viewController. You can acess that window by right clicking on view controller(Yellow square on left side of image) in storyboard
As you see in my picture it is showing Master View Controller by right clicking on yellow Master View Controller
I exercise some sample project for iPad app.
It's a typical Master-Detail example which has some list of items and show details when user select item.
Using replace segue looks good. However a navigation area is disappeared, so I can't select other item any more. (On landscape mode, MasterView always shows. So it's okay but it is not a best situation.)
It's welcome for any advice.
Thank you in advance.
How do I reorder the initial view's tabbar controller elements without having to delete all the segues and re connect them manually in the desired order? Is there a way to change the order of these after they have been hooked up?
I was able to do this by just dragging them around in xcode 4.4 but that option seems to be non available in xcode 4.5.
Hopefully, this is possible from within the storyboard mode. But if it's only possible programmatically, that's ok too, just looking for any proper way to accomplish this without having to delete them all and re hook them up.
For example, how would I move the 'Home' item to first position?
The positions in each view are associated with the positions on the bottom bar of the Tab Bar Controller. If you reorder that bar you will reorder your views. You can reorder them by drag and drop on your interface builder.
In your example just select Home in your Tab Bar Controller and drag it to the first position.
If you have problems dragging and dropping try to select first your Tab View Controller or exit your XCode and open it again (like #thepumpkin1979 and #Rick pointed out).
Just edit the xml file and it will work.
Click on your "storyboard" and click the most right of the 3 buttons in "Editor".
This will show up an xml file on the left which u can edit anyway you wish.
Inside that file you should see xml tag "tabBar", inside it is "items", inside this is "tabBarItem".
All your tabBar items will be listed. You may cut and paste them in the order you wish.
I just did it now in Xcode 4.5.2.
Hope it also works for you too.
Ps. I am new to iOS so I can't use all the right Xcode names.
I think you can control+drag the tab item to reorder.
Drag and drop should work
You can drag the bar Item to the left to rearrange its position from the Storyboard.
I am currently working on porting my Android tablet application (http://tinyurl.com/cnejnjs
) over to iOS. My application basically consists of a list view on the left and a detail view on the right. Xcode has a built in view controller (Split View Controller) which seems to do a lot of the work for you.
I would like to make the navigation bar on the one large toolbar so I can add multiple controls to filter the list view (see Android app for all the filters that the user can apply). In interface builder with the split view controller I can not find a way to add the toolbar to the top. It seems I could style the two navigation bars, to make them look like one but when the user puts the device into portrait mode the left part of the navigation bar will be removed.
I have managed to build a view similar to what I want from scratch in IB but this would mean I don't get all the split view stuff for free and may make it harder to make an iPhone view if I later decide too.
Which way do you think would be best to approach this type of design?
Ultimately, here is what I want to do:
Left sidebar of Navigation Tabs
Right Detail view
I know how to set properties of controls in the right detail view based off of the selected tab on the left. But that doesn't work for what I'm doing.
For example, assume I'm referring to the Settings app in the iPad. When you click on one of the tabs on the left, the right side loads in a completely different set of controls (labels, buttons, etc). This is what I'm looking for.
Any ideas or examples to go about starting something like this?
Thanks,
Chris
