UISplitViewController that is not rootViewController

Question

Yes, I know Apple doesn't want to do that, but I want to do.

I want to use another UISplitViewController as modal view controller.

I found some solutions by googling,

make your own UISplitViewController

yes! it's simple and some already implemented it.
use one UISplitViewController, and change its viewControllers property

viewControllers property have to managed by stack, like UINavigationController does.
make another UIViewController, and assign its view property that is from UISplitViewController

I made MyViewController, and it has UISplitViewController instance from nib (or code)

in viewDidLoad in MyViewController:
```
self.view = splitViewController.view
```
and I'm using MyViewController as modal view controller.

It shows UISplitViewController well, but UISplitViewControllerDelegate doesn't work because it is not root view controller.

any more suggestions, or which way do you recommend, friends?

You can use a UISplitViewController as a modal view controller, because it will be the root of a new navigation stack (or it will be the only view controller), you might just have to use UIModalPresentationFullScreen. — jtbandes, Aug 23 '11 at 04:18
According to this [answer][1] it is not possibly using Interface Builder. [1]: http://stackoverflow.com/a/12307948/593214 — BrandonG, Sep 06 '12 at 20:35

I just found the following, which seems to solve my main problem (being able to use a split view as child of a navigation controller):

Why do you want to, if you don't have to? :)
