UIButton created in UItableview cell crashes when tapped

3

I created a custom UItableviewcell

added a button into its initWithStyle area:

favoriteButton = [[UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect] retain];
        favoriteButton.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
        [favoriteButton setTitle:@"Play" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
        [favoriteButton addTarget:self action:@selector(favoriteClick:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
        favoriteButton.center = self.center;

set its frame and layout in:

- (void)layoutSubviews {
    [super layoutSubviews];
    CGRect contentRect = self.contentView.bounds;
    CGFloat boundsX = contentRect.origin.x;
    CGRect frame;

    frame = CGRectMake(boundsX+200, 44, 40, 40);
    favoriteButton.frame = frame;

}

and then in my tableviewcontroller.m file I use that tableviewcell and have the user click tap to go to the action within that tableviewcontroller.m code

-(void)favoriteClick:(id)sender// forEvent:(UIEvent*)event
{
    NSLog(@"click");

}

however when i tap the button I get an unhandled exception:

Try returning IBAction instead of void on your selector, and put the selector in the ProgramGuideCell instead of tableviewcontroller.

-(IBAction)favoriteClick:(id)sender// forEvent:(UIEvent*)event
{
    NSLog(@"click");

}
