UISplitViewController which is not a rootViewController

Question

Yes, I know that Apple does not want to do this, but I want to do it.

I want to use another UISplitViewController as a modal controller.

I found some googling solutions,

create your own UISplitViewController
Yes! it is simple, and some have already implemented it.
use one UISplitViewController and change its viewControllers property
viewControllers property must be managed by the stack, as the UINavigationController does.
create another UIViewController and assign its view property from the UISplitViewController
I made MyViewController and it has an instance of UISplitViewController from nib (or code)
in viewDidLoad in MyViewController :
```
 self.view = splitViewController.view 
```
and I use MyViewController as a modal controller.
It shows UISplitViewController well, but UISplitViewControllerDelegate does not work because it is not a root view controller.

any suggestions, or which way do you recommend, friends?

I just found the following that seems to solve my main problem (being able to use a split view as a child of a navigation controller):

Why do you want if you do not need? :)
