I Need Help!
Im having trouble "adding the UIImageView as a subview to the instance of UIView named 'catView'." (building an iPhone app:Making it pretty;Programming a background image)
i understand how to insert a subview but everytime i recheck my work it tells me i need to add a subview and not insert one. I'm confused because the video prior to the challenge shows me how to insert a subview and not add one.
here is my current code and im stuck on task 3.
UIView *catView = [[UIView alloc] init];
/* Write your code below this line */
UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed: @"lolcat.png"];
UIImageView *imageView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:image];
[self.view addSubview: imageView atIndex:0];

Treehouse Guest TeacherAlmost right, except that your last line should be:
[catView addSubview:imageView];
For an explanation please see the following posts:
thanks.

Courses Plus Student 7,465 PointsWhy do you use the explicit declaration of catView and not self.view?

Treehouse Guest TeacherThere is no self.view because you are not using a UIViewController within the code challenge.
