UIViewController memory management
- by jAmi
Hi I have a very basic issue of memory management with my UIViewController (or any other object that I create);
The problem is that in Instruments my Object allocation graph is always rising even though I am calling release on then assigning them nil.
I have 2 UIViewController sub-classes each initializing with a NIB;
I add the first ViewController to the main window like [window addSubView:first.view];
Then in my first ViewController nib file I have a Button which loads the second ViewController like :
-(IBAction)loadSecondView{
if(second!=nil){ //second is set as an iVar and @property (nonatomic, retain)ViewController2* sceond;
[second release];
second=nil;
}
second=[[ViewController2* second]initWithNibName:@"ViewController2" bundle:nil];
[self.view addSubView:second.view];
}
In my (second) ViewController2 i have a button with an action method
-(IBAction) removeSecond{
[self.view removeFromSuperView];
}
Please let me know if the above scheme works in a managed way for memory...?
In Instruments It does not show release of any allocation and keeps the bar status graph keeps on rising.
