add TableView subview crashes app - iphone

Question

I am trying to add a tableview so when someone press a certain button, the view would switch into tableview with a few choices.
Here is my code for the button:
-(IBAction)buttonPressed:(id)sender
{
LevelChoice *level = [[LevelChoice alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
[self.view addSubview:level.view];
[level release];
}
Here are code snap from my subclass of UITableViewController:
LevelChoice.h
Code:
#interface LevelChoice : UITableViewController {
NSArray *choices;
}
LevelChoice.m
Code:
-(void)viewDidLoad
{
choices = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:#"Level 1", #"Level 2", #"Level 3", nil];
[super viewDidLoad];
}
Code:
-(NSInteger)numberOfSectionsInTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
return 1;
}
-(NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section
{
return 3;
}
-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString *CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil)
{
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier] autorelease];
}
cell.text = [choices objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
return cell;
}
Does anyone know what am I missing?

Distinguish between Controllers and Views. You can
either present the UITableViewController with presentModalViewController:animated: or with pushViewController:animated:. (Yes, in this case you can release it.)
or just keep a UITableView in your existing view controller and show or hide it as necessary with the hidden property. Of course you need to implement the datasource and delegate methods for the table.
