How to show UIViewController properly?

I need to show a view controller and have this current code:

    SavedFiles *savedFilesVC = [[[SavedFiles alloc] init] autorelease];
    [self presentModalViewController:savedFilesVC animated:YES];

Although it gets this error:

Try this

[self.navigationController pushViewController:viewController animated:YES];

or

[self.view addsubview.viewcontroller.view];

[[iDHSB_MobileAppDelegate mainViewController] presentModalViewController:savedFilesVC  animated:YES]

you need to create a UIViewController say for ex mainViewController and connect it into xib.

You need something like this in your AppDelegate to load the first ViewController:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    // Add the navigation controller's view to the window and display

    self.window.rootViewController = myController;
    [self.window makeKeyAndVisible];
    return YES;
}

Loading and initializing the view controller happens (typically) in the MainWindow.xib file. You cannot call presentModalViewController from an AppDelegate and you cannot just init your controller, you need initFromNib in most cases..

You cannot use presentModalViewController:animated: directly from an AppDelegate. It must be presented from an instance of UIViewController. This is the cause of the error.
