Declare an UIView on app delegate

Question

Hi , i have problem with showing an UIView on app delegate ... there is no place on interface builder to connect IBOutlet with app delegate .

 [self.view addSubview:UIVIEW];   //doesn't work 

Answer 1

your app delegate should have a UIWindow (almost always called window). Add your view as a subview to it (note: dont forget to makeKeyAndVisible your window!)

Check out any of the basic documentation examples for how to use a UIWindow and how to connect it in IB.

Answer 2

The chances are you don't want to display anything in the app delegate. Typically when you start a new project there will be a MainViewController which is where you want to put new views and such into.

If you don't have that then you'll want to add it to the window property of the app delegate.
