Finally I can bring up a login screen before the Split View in the ipad.
Previously I was doing it wrong. I have the button btnLogin action to get a reference to a AppDelegate to call one of its function to dismiss view.
A better way is to let the btnLogin to send dissmissModalController to the [self parentViewController]
In iPhone/iPad development the default.png file is displayed by the device automatically so you don’t have to program it which is really useful.
Modal View screws up the SplitView after dismiss.
Tried
if ([self modalViewController]) {
return;
}
in willHideSplitView but it does not work
[detailViewController performSelector:@selector(configureView) withObject:nil afterDelay:0];
Got Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: 'Popovers cannot be presented from a view which does not have a window.'
when trying to dismiss a modal view controller.
