Brand New, Wanting To Learn, Simple Question

[BBlack]

I am working on my first iPhone app and I've run into a problem.

Where I'm at so far: I've created a view-based app with 4-6 simple buttons. I want one of those buttons to call a pre-determined phone number using the devices' built in phone app.

I've got the buttons. I've got the IBActions set. I just can't seem to figure out the code to get the button to actually make the call.

Here is what my button code looks like so far
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IBOutlet UIButton *blogButton;
IBOutlet UIButton *contactButton;
IBOutlet UIButton *distressButton;
IBOutlet UIButton *flickrButton;
IBOutlet UIButton *homepageButton;
IBOutlet UIButton *pressreleaseButton;
IBOutlet UIButton *youtubeButton;
}
- (IBAction)blogButtonPressed;
- (IBAction)contactButtonPressed;
- (IBAction)distressButtonPressed:(id)sender; {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURLWithString:@"tel://12169026117"]]
}
- (IBAction)flickrButtonPressed;
- (IBAction)homepageButtonPressed;
- (IBAction)pressreleaseButtonPressed;
- (IBAction)youtubeButtonPressed;
@end

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

And here are the error messages I get when I attempt to 'build and go:'

ViewController.h:22:sninth error: expected identifier or '(' before '{' token

and

AppDelegate.m:22: error: expected identifier or '(' before '{' token

Can anyone help me? Maybe even pass along some code that will cause my button to make a phone call.

Thank you!

I'd highly recommend getting a book as your problem here is very basic and is usually in the first few chapters of any book.

.h

IBOutlet UIButton *blogButton;
IBOutlet UIButton *contactButton;
IBOutlet UIButton *distressButton;
IBOutlet UIButton *flickrButton;
IBOutlet UIButton *homepageButton;
IBOutlet UIButton *pressreleaseButton;
IBOutlet UIButton *youtubeButton;
}
- (IBAction)blogButtonPressed;
- (IBAction)contactButtonPressed;
- (IBAction)distressButtonPressed:(id)sender; 
- (IBAction)flickrButtonPressed;
- (IBAction)homepageButtonPressed;
- (IBAction)pressreleaseButtonPressed;
- (IBAction)youtubeButtonPressed;
@end

.m

- (IBAction)distressButtonPressed:(id)sender {

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURLWithString:@"tel://12169026117"]];
}

but honestly, get a book.

You need to read more about how to write codes from books or the internet.

This is totally wrong syntax:

- (IBAction)distressButtonPressed:(id)sender; {
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURLWithString:@"tel://12169026117"]];
}

And this code I believe is not in the right file either. The place where you declare IBOutlets and IBActions is in the header (.h) file. And the place where you write codes are in Main file (.m).
