Make a viewcontroller a splitviewcontroller - ipad

I am creating an ipad application which first shows the login screen and after that i need to show the master/detail format on the navigated page.
Previuosly i didnt have much time to do the research so i created those views manually using orientation and hiding/showing of the views placed on the viewcontroller.
Is there any way to make the viewcontroller a splitviewcontroller.
Please advise.
THanks,

How to always show a viewcontroller even when navigating screens in iOS?

I have this music player view controller that can be minimized. Thanks to LNPopupController[https://github.com/LeoNatan/LNPopupController].
Everything is working fine, but I have no idea how to make this music player view controller stays on top even when the user navigates to the other screens (even when the main navigation controller pushes another view controller). The app doesn't use tab bar controller by the way.
So, is there a way to implement this kind of idea? Again, sticking the minimized view controller on top of every screens of the app?
Developer of the framework here.
If you present the popup bar from a navigation controller, it will appear for all pushed controllers. Likewise for a tab bar controller.
If you need to have it for all controllers, it's not easily possible. One way is the have your entire application scene appear as a child controller of a view controller, and have that controller present the popup bar. This is a difficult way to make it work, and not recommended. It has many issues.
The popup controller is not meant to appear on the screen all the time. It is meant to implement a similar functionality as Apple's.
add the minimized view controller on keyWindown which your minimized view controller always on top ,I didnot Know whether can help you,the code demo gif as is show,If anyone need Demo,give me Email:59620one463qq.com(replace one to 1) to get demo

Showing Image to all view controllers in iOS

I'm quite new to iOS. I'm trying to show advertisements in every view controller's bottom side. But i don't want to load advertisements for each and every view controllers. Is there any other way to show the ImageView of that advertisement throughout all view Controller without loading the ads again and again?
Also those advertisement images should be changing regardless of the view controllers.i.e., whenever the user navigates to next page, the Next page's advertisement should continue from last page's advertisement. It shouldn't be load from the initial image.
For that, Is there any easier way to do this?
Thanks in advance..
If you use uitabbarcontroller or uinavigationcontroller for basic navigation of your app you could add the images to the uitabar or uinavigation bar. They wont relosd for switching tab or pushing new viewcontroller on your navigationcontroller.

View Controller in the "More" tab doesn't rotate, but it will if it's on the home row.

I have an app built in storyboard that needs to support landscape mode in just one view controller. I decided to support iOS 6 after some issues with supporting iOS 5 and running iOS 6 on my phone. I used this Stack Overflow answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/12505461/1050388 but I'm still seeing a weird quirk. (For those interested, my controller scheme is Tab Controller -> Navigation Controller -> TableViewController -> UIWebView. The UIWebView is the only VC I need to rotate.)
I blocked all but one VC from turning, but that VC is in the "More" tab. I initially had a quirk where this "More" VC would change orientation to landscape when rotated and then any subsequent VC would be in landscape, but I found this (https://stackoverflow.com/a/12526152/1050388) and creating a category for UINavigationController helped to solve that issue.
However, when I navigate to that tab in the "More" list, and turn the VC, it doesn't rotate. But when I click "Edit" and move that tab to the home row of the initial 4 tabs, it rotates just fine. If I move it back, it doesn't rotate. Anyone have an idea why this is happening?
I believe the problem stems from the fact that the More navigation controller is generated dynamically by iOS and is read-only.
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/UIKit/Reference/UITabBarController_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/instp/UITabBarController/moreNavigationController
It would be great if the technique of using a custom category would work here but based on your experience I guess it doesn't.
I also need better control of orientations for More tab views. Please post anything you come up with. Thanks.

UIPageViewController and off screen orientation changes

My app is a tab bar application running on iPad.
One of the tabs contains a UIPageViewController, which I implemented pretty much as per the tutorial here: Implementing UIPageViewController programmatically – without storyboarding.
Everything works great, including rotation. However there is a problem - if I go to the tab containing the page view controller, then navigate to a different tab and change the orientation. Then navigation back to the tab containing the page view controller, it is now displayed incorrectly.
Rotating the device again, with the page view controller visible, fixes things.
I guess this is because
pageViewController:spineLocationForInterfaceOrientation:
is not called while that tab is not visible. Any ideas on how to remedy this?
I had the same problem and ended up doing the same workaround. When I was done I didn't really hate it though, because it allowed me to free-up the UIPageViewController and all of it's child UIPageViewControllers and all of their resources when the user wasn't actively using the tab.
I worked around this by re-initialising the UIPageViewController inside viewWillAppear:animated. Not ideal, but it works...

adding a view to UISplitViewController in Storyboard, Xcode

in my application i have a UISplitView, but before this gets loaded I need to display a page where the user enters some details and then clicks okay to display the spitView. I have tried dragging a view controller from the object library on the right but this gives problems. Please advise me on the right way to approach what I'm trying to do,
Thank you
I would have the splitview present the viewController that collects the user data. Present it modally then dismiss it after they enter the data and the split view will be there for you.
