Question

I have a UIView that gets init from a Viewcontroller, however, when I try to pass it an array the array comes back during the init. But if I make a button on the UIView and then check the passed array then I can see it is loaded in correctly. So my question is this, how might I pass an array to a UIView so that when the UIView is alloc’ed and init’ed I can have the array loaded in, not after.

Thanks for all the help.

Answer 1

Add to your UIView subclass something like

- (id)initWithFrame:(CGRect)frame dataArray:(NSArray*)array_ {
    self = [super initWithFrame:frame];
    if (self) {
        // Initialization code
        myArray = array_;


    }
    return self;
}

And myArray supposed to be a field (or property) of your class.
