UISplitViewController that is not rootViewController

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,

1. make your own UISplitViewController

   yes! it's simple and some already implemented it.

2. use one UISplitViewController, and change its viewControllers property

   viewControllers property have to managed by stack, like UINavigationController does.

3. 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 ro开发者_JAVA技巧ot view controller.

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

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? :)
