Xcode Error: Incompatible Objective-C types. Expected 'struct UIView'

I am starting a multiview app with two views: NewGame and Players. I thought I was setting everything up properly, but apparently not.

MainViewController.h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@class NewGame; @class Players;

@interface MainViewController : UIViewController {
    IBOutlet NewGame *newGameController;
    IBOutlet Players *playersController;
}

-(IBAction) loadNewGame:(id)sender;
-(IBAction) loadPlayers:(id)sender;

-(void) clearView;

@end

MainViewController.m

#import "MainViewController.h"
#import "NewGame.h"
#import "Players.h"

@implementation MainViewController

-(IBAction) loadNewGame:(id)sender {
    [self clearView];
    [self.view insertSubview:newGameController atIndex:0];
}

-(IBAction) loadPlayers:(id)sender {
    [self clearView];
    [self.view insertSubview:playersController atIndex:0];
}

-(void) clearView {
    if (newGameController.view.superview) {
        [newGameController.view removeFromSuperview];
    } else if (playersController.v开发者_如何学Pythoniew.superview) {
        [playersController.view removeFromSuperview];
    }
}

// Implement viewDidLoad to do additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [self loadNewGame:nil];
    [super viewDidLoad];
}

Views are objects that represent what appears on screen. View controllers are objects that perform application logic relating to those views. A view hierarchy is a collection of views. You are attempting to add a view controller to a view hierarchy as if it were actually a view.

Roughly speaking, you should have one view controller for every "screen" of your app. This view controller can manage any number of views. Its main view is accessible through its view property.

A quick fix to get your application operational would be to add the main view of your view controllers instead of the view controllers themselves. So, for example, this:

[self.view insertSubview:playersController atIndex:0];

...would become this:

[self.view insertSubview:playersController.view atIndex:0];

Having said that, this is not a good solution long-term, and you should investigate a more structured way of organising transitions from view controller to view controller. UINavigationController is a good option for beginners.

I suppose playerController is view controller. Then add

[self.view addSubview: playerController.view];

OR if not then subclass them for UIView

NewGame and Players both need to subclass UIView. If they're ViewControllers, not UIViews, you'll need to use newGameController.view instead of newGameController.
