Change the width of Master in UISplitViewController
If you subclass UISplitViewController, you can implement -viewDidLayoutSubviews
and adjust the width there. This is clean, no hacks or private APIs, and works even with rotation.
- (void)viewDidLayoutSubviews
{
const CGFloat kMasterViewWidth = 240.0;
UIViewController *masterViewController = [self.viewControllers objectAtIndex:0];
UIViewController *detailViewController = [self.viewControllers objectAtIndex:1];
if (detailViewController.view.frame.origin.x > 0.0) {
// Adjust the width of the master view
CGRect masterViewFrame = masterViewController.view.frame;
CGFloat deltaX = masterViewFrame.size.width - kMasterViewWidth;
masterViewFrame.size.width -= deltaX;
masterViewController.view.frame = masterViewFrame;
// Adjust the width of the detail view
CGRect detailViewFrame = detailViewController.view.frame;
detailViewFrame.origin.x -= deltaX;
detailViewFrame.size.width += deltaX;
detailViewController.view.frame = detailViewFrame;
[masterViewController.view setNeedsLayout];
[detailViewController.view setNeedsLayout];
}
}
In IOS 8.0 you can easily do this by doing the following:
1. In your MasterSplitViewController.h add
@property(nonatomic, assign) CGFloat maximumPrimaryColumnWidth NS_AVAILABLE_IOS(8_0);
2. In your MasterSplitViewController.m viewDidLoad method add
self.maximumPrimaryColumnWidth = 100;
self.splitViewController.maximumPrimaryColumnWidth = self.maximumPrimaryColumnWidth;
This is a really good, simple and easy feature of IOS 8.
