iOS SplitView Pass from Master to Detail Issue

[newtoiphonesdk]

I am trying to convert my iPad app from using a Tab Bar Controller as its Root View to using a Split View Controller for it. My code in my AppDelegate.h is:

@class RootViewiPad;
@class WebViewController2;
@interface AppDelegate : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate, UISplitViewControllerDelegate> {
UIWindow *window;


UISplitViewController *splitViewController;

}

@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIWindow *window;
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UISplitViewController *splitViewController;
@end

The .m is:

#import "AppDelegate.h"
#import "WebViewController2.h"
@implementation AppDelegate

@synthesize window;
@synthesize splitViewController;

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {    



    self.window.rootViewController = self.splitViewController;
    [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];



return YES;
}

I use IB to set all this up, and I Added a SplitViewController in the MainWindow, and connected the AppDelegate Connection for SplitViewController to the SplitViewController I added. Under the Navigation Controller in the SplitViewController I set the root view to RootViewiPad (The TableView that parses a blog and shows the articles), and then set the other View Controller Class and NIB to WebViewController2 which is where I would like the articles to display once they are clicked on. When I run the app, it compiles, and I can see the WebViewController2 that I built in IB, and when I rotate, the left hand side is the TableView I created. However, I can't figure out how to get it to load the URL in the WebViewController2. Everything I have tried either does nothing, or merely pushes it on the Master Side of the controller.

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

    WebViewController2 *detailViewController = 
    self.webViewController2;

    detailViewController.webView.scalesPageToFit = NO;
    RSSEntry *entry = [_allEntries objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];

    [detailViewController.webView loadHTMLString:entry.articleImage baseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:nil]];  

}


}

Any suggestions?

Try grabbing the ViewController already attached DetailView to your storyboard, instead of making a new instance.

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {

    WebViewController2 *detailViewController = (WebVeiwController2 *)
    [[self.splitViewController.viewControllers lastObject] topViewController];
    // 
    ....
    // something like this to then pass the data object for the selected row to the detail view.
    [detailViewController setDetailItem:[yourDataSource objectAtIndexPath:indexPath]];

}

From there You'll need a method on that view controller that accepts the new data that drives the view and does whats needed to cause the view to redraw around the view. I haven't really used web views so not sure if that method already exists.
