Change detail view from MasterDetail iPad app using storyboard

Question

I'm little lost here. I have a basic master-detail aplication, and I want to change the detail view according to the selected row in MasterViewController, but the views have different content, one has an image gallery, and the other one will load a video on full screen. It's not just refresh the detail view, have to load another view. How is the better(fast) way to do that?

Answer 1

I'll suggest you to use a replace segue.

Just create a segue to the desired view initiated by your row with a Style: Replace, and Destination: Detail Split.

Segues were introduced in the iOS 5 SDK

EDIT:

These are step-by-step instructions to accomplish what you need. From now on:

• the item that should be pressed for the action to take place (a button or row in master view) = *Button;
• the view you want to be placed in the iPad's detail view = *Detail.

just a bit for naming for ease of explanation

1. Hold ctrl click on *Button then hold and drag to *Detail and release to create your segue.
2. In the popup pick Replace
3. Select your segue, open Attributes inspector and set Destination to Detail Split

That's all.
