以下是在iOS中最简单的界面切换示例。使用了多个Controller，并演示Controller之间在切换界面时的代码处理。

实现的应用界面：

首先，创建一个window-based application，即：

使用window-base application的目的是，尽量从最基本的情况下说明程序的编写过程。项目创建好后，即可以编译运行，执行结果是白屏页面：

编写第一个视图和控制器，我管它叫Topic，即主题，因此控制器命名为：TopicController，视图TopicView。

创建TopicController：

这样将创建3个文件：

视图xib文件也一同创建了。而且：

会自动生成File’s Owner的Class。

在MainWindow.xib中，将刚刚创建的控制器（TopicController）加进来。

先要拖拽一个View Controller进来：

然后，给View Controller改名：

下面，要把这个Controller设置给WindowDemoAppDelegate。在它的头文件中：

#import
#import "TopicController.h"@interface WindowDemoAppDelegate : NSObject  {UIWindow *window;IBOutlet TopicController *topicController;
}@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIWindow *window;@end

在实现文件中：

#import "WindowDemoAppDelegate.h"@implementation WindowDemoAppDelegate@synthesize window;#pragma mark –#pragma mark Application lifecycle- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {   // Override point for customization after application launch.[self.window addSubview:topicController.view];[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];return YES;}

然后，为了看的清楚，把TopicController.xib文件中的视图颜色改为绿色：

运行应用，会看到如下效果：

为该界面添加一个按钮：

为该按钮创建处理方法。在TopicController的头文件中：

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>@interface TopicController : UIViewController {}-(IBAction) getDetail:(id)sender;@end

在实现文件中：

#import "TopicController.h"@implementation TopicController-(IBAction) getDetail:(id)sender{NSLog(@"get detail …");
}

在IB中，将按钮和控制器的Action连接：

再次运行应用，可看到日志中的打印内容：

按照上面创建Controller的方法，再创建一个DetailController。先把DetailController.xib的视图设置颜色，为了以后调试观察识别。

#import "TopicController.h"@implementation TopicController-(IBAction) getDetail:(id)sender{NSLog(@"get detail …");}

基本思路是找到window实例，可通过window的rootViewController属性设置新的控制器实例（比如DetailController），取代TopicController。代码可这样写：

#import "TopicController.h"#import "DetailController.h"@implementation TopicController-(IBAction) getDetail:(id)sender{NSLog(@"get detail …, window.views: %@",self.view.window.subviews);DetailController *detailController=[[DetailController alloc] initWithNibName:@"DetailController" bundle:nil];self.view.window.rootViewController=detailController;NSLog(@"window.views: %@",detailController.view.window.subviews);}

加上这部分代码后，点击按钮就可生效，产生这样的效果：

上面的代码做一下解释：

• 首先创建了一个新的DetailController实例
• 然后，当前的controller的view属性，可以获得window实例，通过window实例的rootViewController属性的设置，将当前的控制器替换为新的控制器
• window对象是一个非常重要的类，你可以把它看作ios开发的画框，视图是放在画框里的，window有个subvews列表，里面可以存放多个View
• 当设置window.rootViewController属性的时候，window会自动将该属性的UIViewController的view添加到window的subview中，这也是为什么日志中打印的window.subviews列表中有两个实例的原因

这个代码很不完备，比如存在内存泄漏，需要这样：

DetailController *detailController=[[[DetailController alloc] initWithNibName:@"DetailController" bundle:nil] autorelease];

因为，这个detailController这句话后，计数器为1了，再赋值给window.rootViewController属性，就是2了。因此这里要做自动释放。

这个代码还有个问题，就是看上去很别扭，在一个控制器代码里去创建另一个控制器。这一方面很容易出问题，另一方面，代码的结构不清晰。下面用委托模式给代码解耦，也为下一步做返回按钮做准备。

委托模式，一般用protocol来实现。先写个protocol：

    #import <UIKit/UIKit.h>@protocol SwitchViewDelegate-(void)getDetail;@end

然后，需要让UIApplicationDelegate实现类实现该protocol：

    #import <UIKit/UIKit.h>#import "TopicController.h"#import "SwitchViewDelegate.h"@interface WindowDemoAppDelegate : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate,SwitchViewDelegate> {UIWindow *window;IBOutlet TopicController *topicController;}@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIWindow *window;@end

在实现类中：

    #import "WindowDemoAppDelegate.h"#import "DetailController.h"@implementation WindowDemoAppDelegate@synthesize window;#pragma mark –#pragma mark Application lifecycle- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {   // Override point for customization after application launch.[self.window addSubview:topicController.view];topicController.delegate=self;[self.window makeKeyAndVisible];return YES;}- (void)applicationWillResignActive:(UIApplication *)application {/*Sent when the application is about to move from active to inactive state. This can occur for certain types of temporary interruptions (such as an incoming phone call or SMS message) or when the user quits the application and it begins the transition to the background state.Use this method to pause ongoing tasks, disable timers, and throttle down OpenGL ES frame rates. Games should use this method to pause the game.*/}- (void)applicationDidEnterBackground:(UIApplication *)application {/*Use this method to release shared resources, save user data, invalidate timers, and store enough application state information to restore your application to its current state in case it is terminated later.If your application supports background execution, called instead of applicationWillTerminate: when the user quits.*/}- (void)applicationWillEnterForeground:(UIApplication *)application {/*Called as part of  transition from the background to the inactive state: here you can undo many of the changes made on entering the background.*/}- (void)applicationDidBecomeActive:(UIApplication *)application {/*Restart any tasks that were paused (or not yet started) while the application was inactive. If the application was previously in the background, optionally refresh the user interface.*/}- (void)applicationWillTerminate:(UIApplication *)application {/*Called when the application is about to terminate.See also applicationDidEnterBackground:.*/}#pragma mark –#pragma mark Memory management- (void)applicationDidReceiveMemoryWarning:(UIApplication *)application {/*Free up as much memory as possible by purging cached data objects that can be recreated (or reloaded from disk) later.*/}- (void)dealloc {[window release];[super dealloc];}-(void)getDetail{DetailController *detailController=[[[DetailController alloc] initWithNibName:@"DetailController" bundle:nil] autorelease];self.window.rootViewController=detailController;}@end

另外，就是要为控制器里增加delegate属性，头文件：

    #import <UIKit/UIKit.h>#import "SwitchViewDelegate.h"@interface TopicController : UIViewController {id<SwitchViewDelegate> delegate;}@property(nonatomic,retain) id<SwitchViewDelegate> delegate;-(IBAction) getDetail:(id)sender;@end

实现文件：

#import "TopicController.h"
#import "DetailController.h"@implementation TopicController@synthesize delegate;-(IBAction) getDetail:(id)sender{NSLog(@"get detail …, window.views: %@",self.view.window.subviews);[delegate getDetail];
}

实现的效果和上面的是类似的，但是引入委托模式后，代码的架构就比较清楚了，利于以后的维护。
