Master Detail Application for iPad - ios

Question

I am creating an iPad version of Master Detail Application using XCode 4.5 with ARC.
I have my iPadMaster.h/.m(as my master) and iPadDetailViewController.h/m(as my detail) set up.
I am trying to load different view controllers from iPadDetailViewController when users click/select the rows on iPadMaster.
I set this on iPadMaster.m at:
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
iPadDetailViewController * DVC = [[iPadDetailViewController alloc]initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
DVC.itemNumber = indexPath.row;
}
and tried this stupid stunt on iPadDetailViewController.m on [viewDidLoad]:
switch(_itemNumber)
{
case 0:
{
//Detail row
vc1 *viewController = [[vc1 alloc] init];
[self presentViewController:viewController animated:YES completion:nil];
break;
}
case 1:
{
//Report row
vc2 *viewController = [[vc2 alloc] init];
//viewController.somePassedInData = theDataToPass;
[self presentViewController:viewController animated:YES completion:nil];
break;
}
case 2:
{
//Report row
vc3 *viewController = [[vc3 alloc] init];
//viewController.somePassedInData = theDataToPass;
[self presentViewController:viewController animated:YES completion:nil];
break;
}
...
case 9:
{
//Report row
vc9 *viewController = [[vc9 alloc] init];
//viewController.somePassedInData = theDataToPass;
[self presentViewController:viewController animated:YES completion:nil];
break;
}
default:
{
break;
}
On iPhone i would just plaster the 'switch cases' in the - (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath but i'm at lost with iPad environment...
Thanx in advance...

The split view controller has a property, viewControllers. The object at index 1 is the detail controller. You should just create a mutable copy of viewControllers, replace the object at index 1 with your new controller, and set that array to be the split view's arrayControllers.
NextController *next = [[NextController alloc] init..... // or however you get your new controller
NSMutableArray *mut = [self.splitViewController.viewControllers mutableCopy];
[mut replaceObjectAtIndex:1 withObject:next];
self.splitViewController.viewControllers = mut;
