How to get a uiview to be displayed on button click in iphone

i have an application in which i have a uiview which has a two buttons on it. i have set the frame of my uiview like this.

newview = [[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,350,320,70)];

and set it to my main view

[self.view addSubview:newview];

then to this new view i have added two buttons. one button on the left side of new and other button of right side of new view.

this is my code for button

leftnavbutton= [[UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom] retain];
            leftnavbutton.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
            [leftnavbutton setTitleColor:[UIColor whiteColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal ];

UIImage *buttonImageleft = [UIImage imageNamed:@"previous_large.png"];
            //UIImage *strechableButtonImageNormal = [buttonImageNormal stretchableImageWithLeftCapWidth:12 topCapHeight:0];

[leftnavbutton setBackgroundImage:buttonImageleft forState:UIControlStateNormal];
            [leftnavbutton addTarget:self action:@selector(playAction:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[leftnavbutton setFrame:CGRectMake(23, 28, 8, 44)];
            [newview addSubview:leftnavbutton];  



rightnavbutton= [[UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom] retain];
            rightnavbutton.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
            [rightnavbutton setTitleColor:[UIColor whiteColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal ];

UIImage *buttonImageright = [UIImage imageNamed:@"next_large.png"];
            //UIImage *strechableButtonImageNormal = [buttonImageNormal stretchableImageWithLeftCapWidth:12 topCapHeight:0];            

[rightnavbutton setBackgroundImage:buttonImageright forState:UIControlStateNormal];         

[rightnavbutton addTarget:self action:@selector(play:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];           

[rightnavbutton setFrame:CGRectMake(275, 28, 8, 44)];
[newview addSubview:rightnavbutton];

so now i want when i click on these buttons. a new view should replace over my new view. for example now when i run my application in the new view current conditon which is fetched from xml is displayed in that. So when i click on the right button a new view should open which should fetch the forecsat condition tag fron xml and display on it and when i click on the right button it should again display the current condition. i.e it should be in loop. if i click on the left button againg forecast condition should be shown. How is this possible?

All you need to do is replace newView with another view. To do that, you should first set the newView's tag.

newview = [[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,350,320,70)];
newView.tag = 7; // set whatever number you want
[self.view addSubview:newview];

In playAction, get hold of the newView and remove it from the superView. Then add another view in its place.

-(void)playAction:(id)sender
{
     UIView* newView = [self.view viewWithTag:7];
     [newView removeFromSuperView];

     //create and add the new new view that should replace new view. Use the same frame.
     UIView* newnewview = [[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,350,320,70)];
     newnewView.tag = 7; // set whatever number you want
     [self.view addSubview:newnewview];

      //Add the left & right buttons again, as they were removed when newView was removed
      ... code to add buttons...
}

Similarly the play: method can be implemented.
