Question

I am trying my first UINavigationController app and it is now crashing. If I comment out the line that starts with navController, I don’t crash, but if course the app doesn’t work either.

(Note: My environment is IOS 4.2 and Xcode 3.2)

(BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {    

    WpglViewController *firstViewController = [[WpglViewController alloc] init];    

    navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:firstViewController];

    [firstViewController release];

    [window addSubview:navController.view];

    [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];

    return YES;
}

Here is the crash information. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks for the help.

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'NSException'

In my WpglViewController.h file I have the following declared:

@interface WpglViewController : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate>

{
    UILabel *servingsLabel;
    UILabel *quantityLabel;
    UINavigationController *navigationController;
}

@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UILabel *servingsLabel;
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UILabel *quantityLabel;
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UIWindow *window;
@property (nonatomic, retain) UINavigationController *navigationController;

@end

and in my WpglViewController I have the following declared:

#import "WpglViewController.h"

@implementation WpglViewController

@synthesize servingsLabel;
@synthesize quantityLabel;
@synthesize navigationController;

Answer 1

WpglViewController needs to be a subclass of UIViewController.

The exception says that WpglViewController doesn’t respond to the title method which it expects in a UIViewController.
