Question

I am using removeFromSuperview for removing a view from its superview. I am also using release after removeFromSuperview on that object, sometimes its work fine but sometimes give bad access.

is removeFromSuperview also call release to the object ?

Answer 1

Yes, removeFromSuperview also releases view.

You need to release your view after you have added it to its superview.

CGRect frame; // let's assume you already have defined frame and superview
UIView *superview;

UIView *subview = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:frame];
[superview addSubview:subview];
[subview release];

Or just use autorelease, when you create a view.

UIView *subview = [[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:frame] autorelease];
[superview addSubview:subview];

In both cases, you don’t need to call release after you call removeFromSuperview.
