Question

I have got a view controller with a UIView and a navigation controller configured in the XIB.

Now I created a custom UIView and would like it to be on top of the other view. So I added a view on top of the first and changed the class to mine (DrawableUIVIew). None of the stuff I alter or set inside my custom view appears.

This is how I add my custom view:

The custom UIView allows touches (which do get detected) and then draws lines (which does not happen).
Only way I could get it to draw was to use:

self.view = [[DrawableUIView alloc] init];

but that removes the nav bar and is thus useless.

How can I add a custom UIView above the view controller’s standard view in the visual editor?

Answer 1

I solved this problem by simply overriding the initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)aDecoder method inside my custom UIView
