UISplitview not alligned at the top

Question

I have a problem I can't figure out, I have made an application which uses UIsplitview inside a tab bar. I have been implementing the different tabs however now when I am working on the first tab - the UIsplitview is not aligned in landscape mode. Do you guys have any suggestions - if I start it in portrait and go to landscape, then there's no problem at all.

enter image description here

Update: I dont do any init with frames anywhere, and I have checked the sizes etc. in IB. The following shows how I add the uisplitview controller in the app delegate. It has been done this way because I wanted a splitview in a tabbar controller. When i have added the spilview I just set the master and detail view in IB. A bit of mystery.

if (index == 2) {

        detailViewController = [[DetailUserCreatorViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"DetailUserCreatorView" bundle:nil];

        userContent=[[UserContentForPopViewController alloc]init];

        userContent.userDetails=detailViewController;

        detailViewController.delegate=userContent;

        //rootViewController.navigationItem.title = @"List";
        UINavigationController *nav = [[[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:userContent] autorelease];

        splitViewController = [[UISplitViewController alloc] init];
        splitViewController.tabBarItem = controller.tabBarItem;
        splitViewController.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:nav, detailViewController, nil];

        splitViewController.delegate = detailViewController;

        [controllers replaceObjectAtIndex:index withObject:splitViewController];
    }

Update: I tried to set the selected tab in application didfinishlaunch in the app delegate - self.tabBarController.selectedIndex = 0; and this made the tab start at the correct placement. However it does not seem to be a proper solution.

posting some code might help...also, it seems the view is displaced downwards by 20 points(height of status bar). — tipycalFlow, Sep 01 '11 at 17:13
It seems that way - I have added how I set up the splitview controller is there is other part of the code which might indicate the problem please reply and I shall post that too — Bjarke, Sep 02 '11 at 06:44
Yes I have have - maybe I should try to load it with the nib file — Bjarke, Sep 02 '11 at 06:59

Some pointers...splitViewController needs to be added as a subview of window:

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

[window addSubview:splitViewController.view];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];

return YES;
}

The following code is incorrect. You should not assign a viewController to a delegate.

splitViewController.delegate = detailViewController;

You will also not require this line of code:

[controllers replaceObjectAtIndex:index withObject:splitViewController];

The following line handles that part of assigning delegates.

splitViewController.viewControllers = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:nav, detailViewController, nil];

Also, if you can upload your code, I'll try to correct it and post back the reason and corrected code...

Hey, Thank you for your suggestions. You were right about the delegation. However because I have mutiple uisplitviews in different tabs it seems that I have to add them this way. Maybe this was not clear with the initial explanation. Again thank you for replying. – Bjarke Sep 02 '11 at 07:39
Wait...Do you "have mutiple uisplitviews in different tabs" or the other way around? It should be the other way around. See this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7159352/uitabbarcontroller-in-uisplitviewcontroller/7160544#comment-8596477 – tipycalFlow Sep 02 '11 at 07:42
sorry for that I have one uisplitview in each tab:) – Bjarke Sep 02 '11 at 09:12
so there's your problem...that's why there was a downshift of 20 points.I suggest you go through [this documentation](http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/uikit/reference/UISplitViewControllerDelegate_protocol/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40009454) and the [splitView](http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/uikit/reference/UISplitViewController_class/Reference/Reference.html) docs – tipycalFlow Sep 02 '11 at 09:31
