UITableView作为AppDelegate中的子视图

Question

After surprisingly the world didn't end today I continue coding,

I made UITableViewController, it works very good when using segue, but I want to make this controller subview in AppDelegete (to make side menu like facebook).

So I my AppDelegate (didFinishLaunchingWithOptions) I added this:

UIStoryboard* sb = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"MainStoryboard" bundle:nil];

SideMenuViewController * rm = (SideMenuViewController *)[sb instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"RightMenu"];

[self.window addSubview:rm.tableView];

it adds the table and the table renders correctly, until I click on some cell or try to scroll, and suddenly everything in this table disappears, I see compltely empty table, no section and no cells.

What can I do? It may be some delegate issues because it's instantiated in the AppDelegate?

Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

You must set a rootViewControlle r property of the window . May be this will help..any way insert this code between adding the table as subview and controller instantiation:

self.window.rootViewController = rm;

Answer 2

I have no experience whatsoever with storyboards, so this is a wild guess: Is the SideMenuViewController instance being deallocated after it is used to populate the initial table view? The UIStoryboard object sure seems to be non-retained, but I am not sure about the controller returned by instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier: .
