Question

I have a UIView subclass which currently assembles itself completely programatically. It has a custom initWithFrame:bundle: initializer which is necessary because it uses the bundle passed in to load image resources.

I want to make this view a subview in a larger nib file, but then initWithCoder will be called when the nib loading code gets to it instead of my custom initializer. Is there any way I can place this view in a nib and still have my custom initialization occur?

Answer 1

Yes, you can override initWithCoder: too if your bundle is known ahead of time (read: You don’t need it passed in as a parameter). Otherwise, nope.
