how to call add a view from NSObject class

Question

Hi, I am working on an app where i am doing some code in a class which is derived from NSObject and in this class i want to call another class which is a UIView type class and add it above current view or if possible over window. Can someone suggest me how will i do it as i cannot call [self.view addsubview:view] from a NSObject type class?

Also i can not move from my current class as here i am doing act(uploading with progress view) which will take time. so i have to add subview over my current view from this class only.

and yes i have to remove that uiview also later on when uploading completes.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

How about placing your NSObject class inside a UIView, and then keeping a variable that references that view (eg masterView). You could hook that up in Interface Builder to a view that contains the NSObject, or if you're not using IB, create a UIView before instantiating your NSObject-derived class inside it, and pass a reference to the NSObject class which points to the master UIView.

Then, when you want to add a new subview to the screen, call

[masterView addSubview:anotherView];

Answer 2

Sounds like you want to add a view to the window:

[[UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow addSubView:myView];
