[MonoTouch] MT.Dialog iPad / Universal

[Craig Dunn]

the MWC sample uses the same MT.Dialog screens in iPhone & iPad - on the
phone they're fullscreen (obviously) and on the iPad they sit in a
SplitView (for example: the Speakers and Sessions lists).

Pretty much the only special handling required was in the Element.Selected
method - for iPhone we push a new controller, for iPad we have passed a
reference to the splitView into the ctor, and we trigger the new screen
load from there.

if (splitView != null)

splitView.ShowSession(session.ID);

else {

var sds = new MWC.iOS.Screens.iPhone.Sessions.SessionDetailsScreen
(session.ID);

sds.Title = "Session";

dvc.ActivateController (sds);

}

Screens/iPad/Sessions/SessionSplitView.cs
Screens/iPhone/Sessions/SessionsScreen.cs
UI/CustomElements/SessionElement.cs
