Show UIViewController on DetailDisclosureButton pressed - objective-c

Question

I am attempting to get a UIViewController (GUI built using storyboard), to show when a DetailDisclosureButton is touched/pressed. I made a very simple GUI, with just a single button on the screen. I gave it the Custom Class NFLGameDetailsController, and did nothing else on the storyboard.
I then created a class named NFLGameDetailsController that inherited from the class UIViewController.
This is the code generated by Xcode when inheriting from the UIViewController class:
#import "NFLGameDetailsController.h"
#interface NFLGameDetailsController ()
#end
#implementation NFLGameDetailsController
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
if (self) {
// Custom initialization
}
return self;
}
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
#end
Finally, on my main controller I added #import "NFLGameDetailsController.h" to my header file, and implemented the method to show my UIViewController like this:
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView accessoryButtonTappedForRowWithIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NFLGameDetailsController *controller = [[NFLGameDetailsController alloc] init];
[[self navigationController] pushViewController:controller animated:YES];
}
This method is getting called and all seems fine, but when I do press an accessory detail disclosure button, I get a black screen:
Why is it that it is not showing the GUI I created using the storyboard? Thanks.

Answer 1

it`s because you are instantiating just a class , not a view
if you want to load another view from code you can do this way
first , assign Storyboard ID to your viewcontroller in Storyboard editor ( for example NFLGameDetailsController )
then
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView accessoryButtonTappedForRowWithIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
NFLGameDetailsController *controller = (NFLGameDetailsController *)[self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:#"NFLGameDetailsController"];
[[self navigationController] pushViewController:controller animated:YES];
}
but you could use storyboard editor to configure your tableview and its` cell to load another view without code
