title: Tab bar in Split View Controller Root - How to connect to Detail View?
body: <p>working on my first iPad project and after many false starts I have a basic interface that I am happy with that consists of a Split View Controller with a 4-tab Tab Bar at the bottom of the Root/Popover.</p>
  
  <p>I have 4 different View Controllers for each of the 4 tabs.  Three of these contain tables, the fourth contains my settings sliders &amp; switches.  All this works fine in portrait or landscape.</p>
  
  <p>The challenge I'm facing is how to drive the Detail View from these various tabs.  I don't necessarily need multiple Detail Views since all 3 tables will be referencing the same data, just sorted differently.  So they could potentially all connect to the same Detail View.</p>
  
  <p>I haven't found any other examples of Tab bars being used like this, but it seems like the perfect solution for my app.</p>
  
  <p>How do I establish a connection so that when I select a table cell, the detailItem info gets displayed in the Detail View?  Tab bar was added to the Root View in IB.  Should I be adding it programmatically instead?</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have an example project where you've gotten this to work?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
