Help greatly needed! $15 for your time!

Hi All,

I am new to app development, and want some help with universal apps!

Basically, I have a tutorial app that someone has done for me explaining different views.

I have upgraded the target for a universal app.

I set the NIB to
TutorialViewController.xib for the iPhone version
and TutorialViewController-iPad.xib for the iPad version.

However, there is a button on there which, when tapped, takes you to
"TableView.xib". There is then a table view, and when a item is tapped in the table, it takes you to "TextView.xib".

Basically, I want to make it so that when the app is run on an iPad it goes to
"TableView-iPad.xib" and "TextView-iPad.xib". Remembering this is a universal app, and not two separate apps. So I guess the app will somehow have to detect what device it is running on?

As I said, I'm only learning at the moment, but for most of you this is probably easy as anything! If anyone can help, it would be useful if I could send you the tutorial I have, and then for you to add the little bit of code where it detects what device it needs to show and then send it back to me.

I would be happy to send you $15 for your time!

PM if you can help

Thank you and I hope you can help!

I didn't know where to post it.

I'm not looking to get help making an app, I just want to learn how things are done!

I have tried asking before but not got any response, so I was just offering $15 for helping me out

Generally speaking, we consider anything involving money to be a job. Moving...

I'm feeling charitable.

There's (at least) two ways you can do this. 1) Programmatically force the nib when you want the distinction, in the first example it'd be something like:

if (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad) {
    mainMenu = [[MainMenu alloc] initWithNibName:
                 @"TableView-ipad.xib" bundle:nil];
} else { 
    mainMenu = [[MainMenu alloc] initWithNibName:
                 @"TableView" bundle:nil];
}

However, there's a simpler way 2) if you've named your nib 'cleverly', with a device modifier, that'll work automagically and you don't need the code. You do this by renaming your iPads xib to TableView~ipad.xib and TextView~ipad.xib - note the lowercase ipad and the tilda rather than hyphen.

Choice is yours -hope that helps...
