Adding an xib's view into another view in a storyboard

Question

I work in xcode 4.6.2 with ios 6, using arc and storyboards. I created a MainStoryboard.storyboard In here I created 2 viewcontrollers: SplashViewController and WalkthroughViewController. With segues I go from one to the other. In WalkthroughViewController I created 2 views: 1 scrollview which covers 370 height from top and another view for login module which covers 110 height from bottom.

Now I would like to separate the logic of these two modules. Because I may reuse the login module and the walkthrough will be a scrollview which will be automated by the images that are in a plist file.

I tried to create a uiviewcontroller called LoginViewController with an xib file and connected the view to my WalkthroughViewController dragging and dropping it to my .h file. I called it loginView. The xib file of the login view has 2 buttons called "facebook login" and "skip login".

@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIView *loginView;

And in the .m file I tried to initialize this view using the initwithnibname method so:

self.loginView = [[LoginViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"LoginViewController" bundle:nil].view;

The app now works without crashing but the screen is empty.

Any ideas why my view is not being assigned or doesn't seem like it should? I don't see the facebooklogin or skiplogin buttons at all..

Thank you.

Answer 1

have you tried to set the frame? something like:

self.loginView = [[LoginViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"LoginViewController" bundle:nil].view;
CGRect loginViewFrame = CGRectMake(0, self.view.frame.size.height-110, self.view.frame.size.width, 110);
    [self.view addSubview:loginView];
    loginView.frame = loginViewFrame;
