[UIApplication sharedApplication] doesn't return windows

Question

I need to add a view to window on iPhone, so i tried to do this: [[UIApplication sharedApplication] windows], but it seams that the array contains only one window.

Can anyone tell me what i'm not doing write/what i need to do?

Answer 1

try

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow];

if you want to find your app's window.

Answer 2

Your AppDelegate class will hold the window (as a property). You only get one window per application. In most cases you should only add views directly to the window from the AppDelegate -- for normal subview management, use viewControllers.

Answer 3

You could do something like this.

UIView *controllersView = [myViewController view];

[window addSubview:controllersView];

Answer 4

Well, I found the problem. Actually conditions where not set correct, [[UIApplication sharedApplication] windows] returned only one window. Still, [[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow] throw an exception.

It was because When MPVideoPlayerController starts playing, it starts creating a new window, but, probably does not finish this job immediately. It is created ALMOST immediately, but not immediately.
