Navigate between UIViewControllers and UISplitViewController

Question

I have two UIViewControllers and a UISplitViewController. I am adding UISplitViewController as root on 2nd UIViewController. Here is my code:

[splitViewController setViewControllers:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:rootNav, detailNavigate, nil]];  
        [splitViewController setDelegate:detail];
        self.view.window.rootViewController=splitViewController;

With this code UISplitViewController gets added as root.Now from BACK button on SplitViewController. How to pop to Previous UIViewController? If I use this code, then NavigationBarButton on UIViewController does not work.

[self.navigationController presentViewController:backToView animated:YES completion:nil];

How can i navigate to and from UIViewControllers ?

I just want to navigate between UIViewController and UISplitViewController. — Sushil Sharma, Jul 28 '14 at 09:20

IMO, you should set UINavigationController as a window's rootviewcontroller and push splitivewcontroller on it.

e.g.,

[splitViewController setViewControllers:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:rootNav, detailNaviagate, nil]];  
[splitViewController setDelegate:detail];
//self.view.window.rootViewController=splitViewController;
self.navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:splitViewController];
self.window.rootViewController = self.navController; // make root a navigation controller

Now, if you push another view controller on the navigation stack, your back button should work.

Thanks for reply. You mean that i should add this to my appDelegate.Right? – Sushil Sharma Jul 28 '14 at 05:50
Yes. It should be added to the appdelegate. – NeverHopeless Jul 28 '14 at 06:02
@ NeverHopeless,Ok.. One more thing please.When i need to call UISplitViewController by clicking a button in UIViewController,how should i do that. – Sushil Sharma Jul 28 '14 at 06:12
What is meant by `call`, do you mean `push` splitcontroller ? then, try: `[self.navigationController pushViewController:instanceOfSliptcontroller Animated:YES]` – NeverHopeless Jul 28 '14 at 06:14
@ NeverHopeless. Yes i meant that. But it still showing in log that " Split View Controllers cannot be pushed to a Navigation Controller "... What to do in this case??.. My apologies if i am disturbing you.. – Sushil Sharma Jul 28 '14 at 06:23
Do you want to show 2 uiviewcontrollers first and them display splitcontroller ? – NeverHopeless Jul 28 '14 at 09:52
