iOS Help Building, Getting 2 errors

[FubsyGamr]

Hey guys;

I am currently following along with a teach-yourself book called "Sams Teach Yourself iPad Application Development." So far it has been going great, but now I've run into a problem. The gives two codes to type out then try to build (it's on pages 161-162) then create the interface with Interface Builder. Everything went good (I thought) but when I tried to 'point' from Files Owner to any of my text fields, in the Interface Builder, it wouldn't give me any outlet options. Confused, I tried to only 'build' the code that I had typed in Xcode, and I got two errors. I'm hoping that you guys will be able to help out:

The errors are:

Incomplete implementation of class 'FieldButtonFunViewController'

and

Method Definition for '-createStory:' not found

They both 'appear' and the "@end" of the .m code

I have gone over it 100 times and I am positive I typed it in 100% like the book shows (I even wiped it all and started over, just to be sure) but it's not working.

Any/all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Well, I sure feel silly now, because I was able to find the answer. I downloaded the example code from the website and noticed that, in their .m file, they also have a

-(IBAction) createStory:(id)sender {
}

Even though the book doesn't say so. Adding that line of code and then building fixed my problem 'building' the code, and opening a different control file (FiledButtonFunViewController.xib) fixed it all up for me.

Sorry guys, but thanks to those of you who would have answered.

Good for you that you found a solution yourself, but this might be a good time to stop and consider the information you received and what it actually meant:

Incomplete implementation of class 'FieldButtonFunViewController'

Clearly tells you that the implementation file is missing a method defined in the header-file. The "other" error was Method Definition for '-createStory:' not found is clearly connected to the first warning you received, actually telling you what was missing.

Thanks soooooo much for sharing your problem and then solving it. I've spent a few hours today re-doing and re-doing the example. I realised that there was an error in the book because I had the "live" example, however I was still struggling. I worked it out once I saw your post where you mentioned opening "a different control file (filedButtonFunView Controller.xib)". That was the bit that fixed it for me. I can now move on to the next example.
