presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem

I am trying to display my popover menu whenever the user clicks on a button.

I have two methods, the first creates the button

- (void)viewDidLoad {

    [super viewDidLoad];

    UIBarButtonItem *btnMenu = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc]initWithTitle:@"Forms List" style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered target:self action:@selector(showPopover:)];
    self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = btnMenu;

}

And the second is called by the first, to display the popover

-(IBAction)showPopover:(id)sender{

    NSLog(@"called with %@", sender);
    self.popoverController = popoverController;
    popoverController.delegate = self;
    [popoverController presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem:sender permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionAny animated:YES];

}

Presently, when I click the button nothing happens. I think the problem lies in the second method, mainly the presentPopoverFromBarButtonItem line.

Any help would be appreciated, I don't really understand how that method call works.

Thanks.

EDIT 1:

Here is the code where I (think) initialize the popoverController

@interface DetailViewController ()
@property (nonatomic, retain) UIPopoverController *popoverController;
- (void)configureView;
@end

@implementation DetailViewController

@synthesize toolbar, popoverController, detailItem, detailDescriptionLabel;

Have you initialized your UIPopoverController?

UIPopoverController *popoverController = [[UIPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:VCTHATGOESINSIDE];

If all else fails, try presenting it from rect and specify a CGRect. Hope this helps!

edit: initWith*Content*ViewController
