Split view in portrait mode!

Question

Apple provide the split view only for landscape but not for the portrait mode. Is there any way to achieve the splitview in portrait mode also?

[splitViewController setHidesMasterViewInPortrait:NO];

This will work. But this API is not documented(private).

Thanks,

For iOS5+,

Go to your detailViewController. Your detailViewController should have UISplitViewControllerDelegate. And simply just drop this code in:

- (BOOL)splitViewController:(UISplitViewController *)svc shouldHideViewController:(UIViewController *)vc inOrientation:(UIInterfaceOrientation)orientation{
    return NO;
}

This will do the trick. And it is public API.
