accessing unknown 'view' class method

[kaz]

Hi. I'm a beginner developer, i'm using a book to learn about development.
I was going through a tutorial on how to build a simple table view application, i followed all of the instructions carefully, i'm only coming up with one error with the following code:

- (BOOL)applicationUIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptionsNSDictionary *)launchOptions {

// Override point for customization after application launch
[window addSubview:FlowerColorTableViewController.view];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];

return YES;
}


the bit marked in red comes up with the error "accessing unknown 'view' class method" even though it looks exactly the same in the book.

HELP PLEASE!!!

Do you have a variable named "FlowerColorTableViewController" in your .h file? Keep in mind that capitalization matters since you are new to development.

Seriously, if u don't know what a variable is, go to the store, grab the nearest book about programming, and read.
U want us to help u, if u can't understand the BASICS of programming, no offense, i want to help newbies, but they have to do an basic effort too..

sorry, i found out what a variable is, my view controller file reads:

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>


@interface FlowerColorTableViewController : UITableViewController {
NSMutableArray *redFlowers;
NSMutableArray *blueFlowers;

}

@end

I think I know what your problem is.

You need to alloc an instance of FLowerColorTableViewController, and then add that instance's view to your window. CUrrently, you are doing some other hocus pocus.

- (BOOL)applicationUIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptionsNSDictionary *)launchOptions { 

// Override point for customization after application launch

FlowerColorTableViewController* vc = // alloc a new one here, either from a xib, or the long way

[window addSubview: vc.view];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];


return YES;
}

You need to create a FlowerColorTableViewController object, then add the object's view as a subview. Currently, you're treating FlowerColorTableViewController as a static class.
