NSInvalidArgumentException "Unrecognized selector sent to instance" (using MPMoviePlayerController) - ios

Well, I have a TableView in a RootViewController with a DetailViewController for the display of the information of the single record.
In the Detail page i have to play a multimedia file and i'm using the framework MediaPlayer, according to this guide:
http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Video_Playback_from_within_an_iOS_4_iPhone_Application
it seems all ok, but when i click on the play button i have this error:
-[DetailsViewController playmovie]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x9117f60
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[DetailsViewController playmovie]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x9117f60'
These are my files:
In the AppDelegate I use this navigation controller:
[...]
// Create a table view controller
RootViewController *rootViewController = [[RootViewController alloc]
initWithStyle:UITableViewStylePlain];
rootViewController.managedObjectContext = context;
rootViewController.entityName = #"Porti";
UINavigationController *aNavigationController = [[UINavigationController alloc]
initWithRootViewController:rootViewController];
self.navigationController = aNavigationController;
UIBarButtonItem *homeButton;
homeButton = [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#" Inizio " style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:#selector(home)] autorelease];
UIBarButtonItem *barButton;
barButton = [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithTitle:#" Mappa dei porti " style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:#selector(caricamappa)] autorelease];
[toolbar setItems:[NSArray arrayWithObjects: homeButton, barButton, nil]];
[window addSubview:[navigationController view]];
[window addSubview:toolbar];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
[rootViewController release];
[aNavigationController release];
and in the RootViewController I use this instruction to pass to the DetailViewController:
//Push the new table view on the stack
[self.navigationController pushViewController:detailsView animated:YES];
[detailsView release];

My question is: where is my error ? I imagine it is in the call of the playmovie method, but I can't figure out a solution!
P.S.
I've accidentally erased a comment, I'm so sorry! =(

You seem to call playmovie on a class and not on an object, or you forget to give the param. If you show us where you call it, that could help.
Anyway, the problem is that you probably do :
[DetailsViewController playmovie];
or
[oneDetailsViewController playmovie];
instead of :
[oneDetailsViewController playmovie:nil];
Here oneDetailsViewController is a DetailsViewController* object.
EDIT
Delete your XIB link, save, and make your link again to the IBAction by dragging (right-click) from the button to the file's owner.

Why does NavgationItem reference disappears?

I created a NavigationBar and added it to the UIViewController. But after init, the reference turns to nil. I'm new to iOS and OC, I don't know why. Anyone can help? Thank you.
code summary:
#interface ContainerViewController()
#property (nonatomic, retain) UINavigationBar *nav;

How to set text of another class? [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Passing data between view controllers
(45 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
What I have is menu at the top (vertical slider). On the top I have button, on clicking this button, the view will get scroll down and display the menu.
For this what I am doing is creating a view and showing it at top.
Now when I click on the button, I am planning to change the frame of top view with animation.
I am able to handle the frame and animation, however problem I am facing is setting the text to the right label and left button.
Below is the dropbox link to download the sample project. Any idea/ solution will be appreciated.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/pdaelw2k8ljnaki/TwoView.zip
What I tried is below code
CommonViewController *newClass = [[CommonViewController alloc] init];
newClass.parentObject = self;
NSLog(#"text is %#", newClass.rightSideLabel.text);
newClass.rightSideLabel.text = #"NEW VALUE HERE";
However still on the right side I see products only.

What I want to do is keep common things in CommonViewController
Below is what I did...
In bViewController.m, I added below.
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setValue:#"New Value Here" forKey:#"notValue"];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:#"ChangeRightSideLabel" object:self];
And in CommonViewController.m, viewDidLoad
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:#selector(receiveTestNotification:) name:#"ChangeRightSideLabel" object:nil];
- (void) receiveTestNotification:(NSNotification *) notification
{
// [notification name] should always be #"TestNotification"
// unless you use this method for observation of other notifications
// as well.
if ([[notification name] isEqualToString:#"ChangeRightSideLabel"]) {
NSLog (#"Successfully received the test notification!");
trightSideLabel = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] valueForKey:#"notValue"];
rightSideLabel.text = trightSideLabel;
}
}
You have to respect MVC design Pattern approach. So instead of "newClass.rightSideLabel.text = #"NEW VALUE HERE";" You have to write :
in NewClass.h:
-#property(strong,nonatomic) stringText;
in NewClass.m:(ViewDidLoad Method)
-rightSideLabel.text=stringText;
in the current class:
-newClass.stringText= #"NEW Value HERE";
You need to make a string property for CommonViewController and assign the text to it.
And in CommonViewController's ViewDidLoad set that text to rightSideLabel.

If hide this code from JWNavigationController.m so searchDisplayController is working
rootViewController.navigationController = self;
but new problem is UITableVIew didselectrowatindexpath is notworking .. what can i do?
isNavigationBarHidden: is a selector which is only available in classes that derive from UINavigationController. You have to modify this line:
#interface JWNavigationController : UIViewController
with this:
#interface JWNavigationController : UINavigationController
Your JWNavigationController does not inherit from UINavigationController.
But, isNavigationBarHidden is a method implemented by UINavigationController.
Now look at the error (which uses the term 'selector', but that refers to the method): It basically says that the instance of your JWNavigationController does not implement isNavigationBarHidden, and this is the issue.
Could it be that you mistyped, and meant to write:
#interface JWNavigationController : UINavigationController <UINavigationBarDelegate>

Gesture recogniser on UILabel, not working

I am trying to apply UITapGestureRecognizer on a UILabel in order to check and open e-mail service. The current UIView is a part of a UIViewController and displayed once user tap on a button.
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import <MessageUI/MessageUI.h>

self = [super init];
if (self) {
[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:#"ContactInfoView" owner:self options:nil];
self.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
[self addSubview:[self view]];
}
return self;
}
-(void)addContactInformationFrom:(AddressBook *)addressBook{
self.mAddressBook = addressBook;
int y = 20;
CGRect rect = CGRectMake(20, y, 320, 60);
if (![mAddressBook.aEmail isEqualToString:#"-"]) {
UILabel *email = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:rect];
UITapGestureRecognizer *tgr = [[UITapGestureRecognizer alloc] initWithTarget:self action:#selector(showEmailForm:)];
tgr.delegate = self;
tgr.numberOfTapsRequired = 1;
[email addGestureRecognizer:tgr];
email.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
email.text = mAddressBook.aEmail;
[self addSubview:email];
rect.origin.y += 40;
}
}
-(IBAction)showEmailForm:(id)sender{
// Email Subject
NSString *emailTitle = #"Test Email";
// Email Content
NSString *messageBody = #"Some message";
// To address
NSArray *toRecipents = [NSArray arrayWithObject:#"test#apple.com"];
MFMailComposeViewController *mc = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
mc.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[mc setSubject:emailTitle];
[mc setMessageBody:messageBody isHTML:NO];
[mc setToRecipients:toRecipents];
[mContainerVc presentViewController:mc animated:YES completion:NULL];
}
#end
VC.h (part)
#class ContactInfoUI;
#class ElementObject;
#interface ElementDetailsViewController : UIViewController{
ElementObject *element;
IBOutlet ContactInfoUI *infoView;
}
#property(nonatomic, retain) ContactInfoUI *infoView;

if (infoView == nil) {
infoView = [[ContactInfoUI alloc] init];
infoView.userInteractionEnabled = YES;
infoView.mContainerVc = self;
}
AddressBook *ab = element.getElementAddressBook;
[infoView addContactInformationFrom:ab];
[self.view addSubview:infoView];
infoBtn.selected = YES;
sumBtn.selected = NO;
mapBtn.selected = NO;
infoView.hidden = NO;
staticMapScrView.hidden = YES;
summaryView.hidden = YES;
}
The problem is that, even if I can see the actual UILabel on screen, I can't tap on it and the email function never fired.
I'm glad you figured it. Yeah, if a UI element is smaller than any of the its superviews (all the way up the chain), all UI interaction to that element will be blocked. This goes for labels, buttons, etc..

MGSplitViewController not as RootView but within a UIViewController

I'm very new to iOS programming (Coming from Java / C++). I'm trying to set up an app with a TabBarController of which one tab should be a SplitView. I've done my research and I know that UISplitview will not work and everywhere people recommend using the MGSplitViewController. I've looked at the demo but I just can't figure out how to use it without it beeing the app's root view and can't find any sample code that could help
So here is what I do with the classes from the demo in a separate UIViewController class that I afterwards add to the TabBarController: This is my class:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "MGSplitCornersView.h"
#import "RootViewController.h"
#import "DetailViewController.h"
#interface ChannelViewController : UIViewController {
MGSplitViewController *splitViewController;
RootViewController *rootViewController;
DetailViewController *detailViewController;
}
#property (nonatomic, retain) MGSplitViewController *splitViewController;
#property (nonatomic, retain) RootViewController *rootViewController;
#property (nonatomic, retain) DetailViewController *detailViewController;
#end
And this is my desperate try to set it up
- (id)initWithTabBar
{
self = [super init];
//this is the label on the tab button itself
self.title = #"SplitView";
//use whatever image you want and add it to your project
//self.tabBarItem.image = [UIImage imageNamed:#"name_gray.png"];
// set the long name shown in the navigation bar at the top
self.navigationItem.title=#"Nav Title";
self.splitViewController = [[MGSplitViewController alloc] init];
self.rootViewController = [[RootViewController alloc] init];
self.detailViewController = [[DetailViewController alloc] init];
[self.splitViewController setDetailViewController:detailViewController];
[self.splitViewController setMasterViewController:rootViewController];
[self.view addSubview:splitViewController.view];
[self.rootViewController performSelector:#selector(selectFirstRow) withObject:nil afterDelay:0];
[self.detailViewController performSelector:#selector(configureView) withObject:nil afterDelay:0];
if (NO) { // whether to allow dragging the divider to move the split.
splitViewController.splitWidth = 15.0; // make it wide enough to actually drag!
splitViewController.allowsDraggingDivider = YES;
}
return self;
}
I guess I'm doing something wrong with delegates? Or do I have something else mixed up?
Is the demo doing things in the IB that I can't see in the code?
I get the split view but no content and especially no navigation bar with the buttons the demo comes with.
I'd be very thankful for hints or sample code!
Ok manny, here we go. This is my working code for the interface:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "MGSplitViewController.h"
#import "ecbView.h"
#import "ecbCalc.h"
#interface splitMain : MGSplitViewController <UIPopoverControllerDelegate,
MGSplitViewControllerDelegate>
{

IBOutlet UINavigationController* naviController;
IBOutlet ecbCalc* viewCalcLeft;

My MainWindow.xib has a UITabBarController and the button for splitMain is configured for this class but with an empty xib entry. So creation has to go via loadView. Maybe I could have done the viewDidLoad stuff within loadView ... but so I had to protect viewDidLoad from being called twice. That happens in loadView as soon as the view is instantiated from MGSplitViewController class because the initWithCoder there is calling [self setup]. In that function the frame rect is calculated with self.view.bounds so that viewDidLoad is called again because the view doesn't exist yet. Maybe one could implement a workaround within MGSplitViewController.m but I was too lazy doing that.
To get this working on a tab bar controller please make sure you commit most of the changes that are published on the MGSplitViewController's git page. Good luck.
